Introduction

The VHD5.0 is a three‑way enclosure handling low mids, mid and high frequency’s from 45Hz through to 20kHz. It incorporates eight front‑loaded ten inch low mid drivers, six horn‑loaded eight inch mid range drivers and three 3″ NVPD (Nitrate Vapour Particle Deposition) Titanium compression drivers on a custom designed, manifold horn assembly with summing waveguide. With the capacity to run full range down to 45Hz the VHD5.0 is usually crossed over at 70Hz to the VHD4.21Active Sub Bass Modules. Both the VHD5.0 and VHD8.10 cabinets incorporate very simple to use integrated fly ware that links cabinets together quickly and easily.

Acoustic components

The VHD5.0 Mid Hi module features purpose designed and specified loudspeaker components, centered around high efficiency woofer designs and the latest transducer technology. Eight mid bass 10″ woofers, with inside outside 2″ voicecoils, and Epoxy reinforced cellulose cones are employed, alongside six 8″ Midrange transducers, with AIC Transcoil technology and Epoxy reinforced cellulose cones. Three 3″ compression drivers with NVPD treated dome assemblies attach to a unique KV2 Hybrid Manifold Horn where the 2+1 driver arrangement eliminates the typical sound of large format systems and reduces the problems of multiple high frequency driver interference. All speakers in the VHD5.0 employ neodymium magnets to increase force, improve control and lower weight. The VHD5.0 has an 80° horizontal and 30° vertical dispersion.

Enclosure Design

The VHD5.0 Enclosure is a Large Constant Power Point Source array 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 eight handles integrated, 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 the VHD8.10 mid bass extension cabinets. A certified proprietary KV2 Audio internal flyware system is also neatly integrated within the box for a quick set up and minimal requirement of external rigging.
