Thank you for choosing a dBTechnologies Product!
The VIO W15T is a versatile coaxial 2-way active stage monitor. It is
equipped with one 1″ compression driver (1.3″ voice coil), and one 15″ woofer
(2″ voice coil). The coverage pattern is 80° (H) x 60° (V). The horn is
rotatable and the mechanical design allows also the vertical usage (pole
mounted) or the wall mounted one, thanks to the WB-VIO15T optional bracket . A
powerful DSP can adapt the live or playback performances to different usage
scenarios. The RDNet section allows a depth remote control, using AURORA NET
software.

Mains Fuse
a) Connect the audio input (1). Select the DSP preset mode (2).
b) If you need to link the VIO W15T to another one, please use a cable with XLR connectors (not supplied). Connect the Link output (3) of the first, to the balanced Input (1) of the second one.
c) Plug properly the mains POWERCON TRUE1 cable (supplied) in the related input (9) to turn on the system.
d) In case of remote control, connect the proper Data Input (4) 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 (3) of the first module to the Data Input (3) of the second one, and so on. When your W15T is on and the RDNet network is on and it has recognized the connected device, the LED “Link” (5) is on. The other LED (5) “Active” start blinking when there is the presence of data transmission, the “Remote Preset Active” advise that all the local controls set on the amplifier panel (DSP preset) are by-passed and controlled remotely by RDNet. See also RDNet Control 2 and RDNet Control 8 user manuals for further information.
