DBTECHNOLOGIES

VIO L1608 DBTechnologies built the VIO L1608 to deliver true three-way performance in the footprint of a traditional dual-8-inch two- way line array. It pairs dual 8-inch neo- dymium LF drivers with a coaxial MF-HF assembly and a 1600 W RMS Class-D amplifier, using an optimized waveguide, low crossover point, and side-firing bass reflex ports to boost clarity, consistency, and low-end efficiency. The compact design also improves deployment with single-tech handling, faster three-point rigging, stronger environmental protec- tion, and features like inclinometer integration, NFC positioning, and a front ID LED. A2Net now comes standard for high-resolution digital audio distribution and Aurora Net control, with optional Dante support for more advanced networked systems. {dbtechnologies.com}
