VQ NET DF
Tannoy adopts a policy of continuous improvement and product specification is subject to change
Integrated with cutting edge digital signal processing, network control and dual channel Class D
amplification, the VQ NET 40DF (40x40), VQ NET 64DF (60x40) and VQ NET 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.
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 NET 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.
The modular approach of amplifiers, processing, monitoring and drivers designed into each
loudspeaker enables acoustic optimization for the speaker to perform as a unified whole.The
intuitive setup software, integrated processing, tuning control, performance diagnostics and
protection produces an easy to install and exceptionally high performance networkable loudspeaker.
For outdoor applications, weather resistant enclosures which incorporate stainless steel hardware
are available.

Features
Applications
VNET™ Network
Each VQ NET DF enclosure is fully VNET™ compliant.
VNET™ supports free network topology so that the
loudspeakers can be arranged in a daisy chain, linked in a
star configuration or in any combination of both. Implementation
of the network between nodes is via high quality rugged
Neutrik Ethercon connectors, which are compatible with
standard RJ45 plugs, and CAT5 cable. Each speaker has a
unique address for auto-location on the network. System
commissioning and ongoing network control, incorporating
real time diagnostics of electronics and drive unit, are all
managed by the exclusive VNET™ software package.
Supplied with each unit, this intuitive Windows tool controls
all critical install, commissioning and performance
monitoring functions.
