Touring and Installation Mid High Enclosure Application
Designed as an extreme high output and performance mid-hi unit as part of the VHD systems Very High Definition for live performance

• Medium to large concert venues
• Scalable from small to large systems
• Full range standalone use in public areas
• Hire and Production
• Large Theatres

Introduction

• The VHD2.0 is a dedicated powerful long throw projection Mid Hi enclosure for use with accompanying KV2 Audio Subwoofer systems, for audiences of up to 20,000 people without requirement for additional delay systems, that represents the pinnacle of KV2 Audio’s design philosophy for compact, high output  Audio performance systems.
• Acoustical design is based on high efficiency Horn loading as a three-way design and is built to the same robust standards of existing KV2 Audio enclosures.
• It can also be used at lower outputs as a full range enclosure where subwoofers are not necessarily required.
• Primarily designed for Live Music applications that require reproduction of high transient content with a large dynamic range at extreme output levels.

Acoustic components
The VHD2.0 Mid Hi module features purpose designed and specified speaker components, centered around high efficiency woofer design technology. Two mid bass 12″ woofers, with inside outside 3′ coil, and Epoxy reinforced cellulose cones are employed, alongside two mid range 8″ woofers, with 3″ Transcoil and Epoxy reinforced cellulose cones. A 3″ compression driver with NVPD treated dome assembly, featuring AIC technology is applied for High frequencies. All speakers employ neodymium magnets to increase force, improve control and lower weight. The VHD2.0 has an 80° horizontal and 40° vertical dispersion and left and right versions of the speaker are offered in order to create larger format vertical arrays of the mid high system.

Enclosure Design
The VHD2.0 Enclosure is a compact Horn Loaded design, built in lightweight Baltic Birch, featuring a number of ergonomically designed parts and functions that make it an easy unit to move, set up and operate. There are a total of six handles integrated, (2 each side and one top and bottom), to facilitate easy pick up and positioning of the enclosure in a natural -instinctive and intuitive manner. Low friction feet are integrated for easy locking into existing KV2 Audio enclosures in the VHD range. Flytrack is fitted to the enclosure to allow easy flying and suspension via the KV2 Audio propriety Certified Flyware system.

Item                                         QTY Description

1| 1| PICKPOINT Hanging Arm
2| 1| CROSS MEMBER Hanging Bracket
3| 1| D6 QUICK RELEASE PIN
4| 1| STEEl PULL-BACK ARRESTOR

VHD Flyware · Description

• The CROSSMEMBER hanging bracket is a flat and folded steel bar with returned 90 degree ends.
• This bracket attaches to the PICKPOINT ARM by simply sliding into two preset grooves, from left to right and secures smoothly and tightly, thus creating a T- Bar effect.
• Once both bars are attached and joined, it is a simple case of locking and securing the correct position and location, according to which conguration of VHD enclosures are being suspended, either in aLeft/Right unit, by inserting a single D6 QUICK RELEASE PIN, which is attached via a small shrouded steel tie at the return edge of the PICKPOINT ARM. (See diagram).

VHD2.0 TOP ARM (KVV 987 309):

• The VHD2.0 TOP ARM is a flat steel bar with straight ends, a double groove joint at the lower end and prefixed apertures to accept both D6 and D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PINS.
• A single bar is used on each side of an enclosure.
• The bar employs a total of two angular wedges that are used to ‘lock into’ the handles on each side of the VHD2.0 enclosure and are then secured by the insertion of a single D6 QUICK RELEASE PIN, (Which are attached to the bars via small shrouded steel ties) into each handle.
• Once the VHD2.0 TOP ARMS are attached to the VHD2.0, they are then simply attached to the CROSS MEMBER hanging bracket by inserting a single
• D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN through the top aperture of both of the VHD2.0 TOP ARMS and CROSSMEMBER hanging bracket.

VHD2.0 TOP EXTENSION ARM (KVV 987 306):

• The VHD2.0 EXTENSION ARM is of the same design and presentation as the VHD2.0 TOP ARM, except it is differentiated by being physically longer and employs a total of two angular wedges to allow locking into an attached secondary VHD2.0 and its enclosure handles.
• The same method of inserting a single D6 QUICK RELEASE PIN into each handle is employed.
• The arm has a poly-hex head at the top end of the bar, with prefixed apertures for the insertion of the D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PINS, to allow desired splay angles of the secondary VHD2.0 and is attached by the insertion of a single D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN.
• To add extra enclosures to the hang, this method of attachment is repeated.

VHD BASS ARM (KVV 987 307):

• The VHD BASS ARM is a at steel bar with straight ends, a double groove joint at the lower end and prefixed apertures to accept both D6 & D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PINS.
• This bar is used exclusively to suspend a compliment of two VHD Subwoofers and a single bar is used on each side of the two enclosures.
• The bar employs a total of four angular wedges that are used to ‘lock into’ the handles on each side of the VHD Subwoofer enclosure and are secured by the insertion of a single D6 QUICK RELEASE PIN, (Which are attached to the bar via small shrouded steel ties) into each handle

VHD BASS EXTENSION ARM (KVV 987 308):

• The VHD SUBWOOFER EXTENSION ARM is of the same design and presentation as the VHD SUBWOOFER ARM, except it is differentiated by being physically longer and employs a total of four angular wedges to allow locking into an attached- secondary double hang of VHD Subwoofers and its enclosure handles.
• The same method of inserting a single D6 QUICK RELEASE PIN into each handle is employed.
• The arm has a poly-hex shape head at the top of the bar, with pre-fixed apertures for the insertion of the D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PINS, and is attached to the lower end of the VHD SUBWOOFER ARM by sliding into the groove and then being secured by the insertion of a single D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN.
• To add extra enclosures to the hang, this method of attachment is repeated.

STEEL PULL-BACK ARRESTOR:

• A steel chain is used as a pull-back to assist with obtaining desired angles of hang.
• Using the pre-set identication coloured links in conjunction with the example diagrams allows quick and easy set-ups.
• A small overhang chain collector bag is provided to protect and store the chain.

VHD 1.0 DOWNFILL ARM (KVV 987 310):

• The VHD1.0 DOWNFILL ARM is a short, at pre-angled steel bar that has two pre-fixed apertures at the lower end of the bar to allow different angles of suspension from the enclosure above.
• The arm is attached to the VHD1.0 down-fill enclosure by means of two apertures that receive the insertion of two D6 QUICK RELEASE PINS.
• The top of the bar is attached to the bottom of either the VHD2.0 TOP ARM or BASS/VHD2.0 ARM by sliding into the groove and inserting a single
• D12.6 QUICK RELEASE PIN.

Weights & Stregths

The VHD Flybar System presents several configurations of system design product combinations for suspension and rigging. Each component has to be factored into the total weight being suspended. FOR CERTIFICATION OF FLYBAR COMPONENTS AND PINS PLEASE VISIT · www.kv2audio.com
