Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!

The VIO S115 is a versatile professional subwoofer. A powerful DSP can adapt the live or playback performances to different usage scenarios and all the sub-parameters can be controlled by the user in the rear panel.
The usage is optimized with X206 speakers, and a complete set of accessories allow to match some particular configurations, for example, among others, the line-array mounting with X206 100 models (see the related instructions for further information).
The RDNet connections allow complete remote control, thanks also to AURORA NET software, freely downloadable from the technologies website.

c) In case of remote control, connect the proper Data Input (9) of the first module of the line array to the hardware remote controller (RDNet Control 2 or RDNet Control 8) with cables equipped with etherCON connectors. Then connect the Data Output (9) of the first module to the Data Input (9) of the second one, and so on. When your VIO X206 is on and the RDNet network is on and it has recognized the connected device, the LED “Link” (10) is on. The other LED (10) “Active” start blinking when there is the presence of data transmission, the “Remote Preset Active” advises that all the local controls set on the amplifier panel (DSP preset) are by-passed and controlled remotely by RDNet.
