INTRODUCTION AND CONTENTS VOICE LINE VL8 The Voice Line VL8 is a unique professional column line array loudspeaker providing high fidelity sound reinforcement with a wide cylindrical wave pattern. A true line array source, it performs remarkably in venues with poor acoustics and dramatically reduces unwanted feedback during live performances. The Voice Line VL8 was designed to perform to strict acoustic parameters. Critical in the design is the high frequency waveguide.

MOUNTING When mounting Voice Line VL8 speakers the following safety issues must be considered; The mounting of a permanently installed speaker may be dangerous unless undertaken by a qualified professional with relevant experience. Walls and mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting the speaker and bracketry in a safe and secure manner. All fixings must be safely attached to the speaker cabinet and the mounting surface.
POLAR RESPONSE & CONNECTION Polar Response (Ratio Vs. Angle) Horizontal Polar Response Vertical Polar Response Connection The VL8 Column Line Array speaker uses an industry standard male twist lock 4 pin speaker connection to access the 4 Ohm or 100 V / 70 V configurations. The VL8 pin configuration adheres to the audio standard wiring convention, that is pin 1+ positive and pin 1- negative as shown below, viewed from the rear of the 4 pin female twist lock connector. Pins 2+ and 2- are not used.
POWER TAPPINGS A screw driver accessible selector switch is located at the rear of the loudspeaker for selection of either 4 Ohm operation (Direct) or the required power tap for 70 V and 100 V working. Preferred Impedance Chart The table below indicates the the impedance option for the various power taps in both 70 V and 100 V working.
