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.

    This quick start and warranty documentation

  2. Easy installation
    ViO W15 is equipped with:
    A – Mechanical housings for wall bracket
    B – Handle
    C – Connections and control panel
    Those mechanical particulars were thought for an easy use and for different configuration needs.
    The acoustical design allows to face different environments. The rotatable horn is shown in the upper picture. As described, the related pattern data are:
    a) vertical coverage: 60°
    b) horizontal coverage: 80°

  3. Optional accessory
    The WB-VIO15T is the optional accessory for the wallmounting installation of WB-VIO15T. See the related instruction for further details.

  4. Connections and controls
    All the connections and controls are in the amplifier panel, on the side of the monitor:

  5. Balanced Audio Input

  6. DSP preset

  7. Output Link

  8. RDNet Data In/ Data Out

  9. RDNet control LEDs

  10. Status LEDs

  11. USB Data Service

  12. System Test button

  13. Mains Input

  14. Mains Link

  15. 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.
