The VQ 40DF (40x40), VQ 64DF (60x40) and VQ 85DF (80x50) are very high output down
firing Mid/High loudspeaker systems designed for applications requiring high impact sound
reinforcement with class leading pattern control.
The modular design approach allows the sound system designer to create seamless and
predictable arrays, or they can be used singly as part of large distributed systems. VQ DF
addresses the requirement for compact dimensions without compromising performance in
any way.
VQ MH elements which are available in various patterns will integrate seamlessly with the
VQ DF enclosures to facilitate tight pack arrays; the compound angles on the enclosure
avoid unsightly spaces between separate cabinets when arrayed horizontally VQ MB or
VS 15DR elements can be added to extend bandwidth and pattern control to lower frequencies.
The VQ DF can be configured for use in Single-Amp or Bi-Amp mode, in conjunction with a
suitable digital signal processor (DSP).
Horn design involves balancing compromise…..until now.
Our unique approach in keeping what is effectively a Dual Concentric behind a single horn
gives us many performance advantages. Performance of the VQ DF in terms of accuracy &
sound quality is second to none. The VQ horn design principles provide definitive and
measurable advantages over multiple-horn and co-axial designs.
Each VQ DF incorporates a unique driver technology to radiate a coherent single point
source for superior dispersion control when coupled to a PSW™ (Point Source Waveguide).
This advanced design aligns the acoustical centres of the transducers providing a single
coherent wavefront emanating from the throat. The PSW™ waveguide achieves an
optimum balance of extremely well controlled coverage, smooth frequency response, and
natural sound character.
For outdoor applications, weather resistant enclosures which incorporate stainless steel
hardware are available.
• “PSW™ Waveguide” - Point source design
(Patent applied for).
• Excellent Phase Coherence
• Perfect time alignment without the associated problems
of multi source interference
• Compact Dimensions
• Class leading directivity characteristics
• Extremely high sensitivity, therefore high SPL’s can be
achieved with a very modest amount of amplifier power
• Exceptional transient response
