The Voice-Acoustic VENIA-8 is a 2-way bi-amplified column line array loudspeaker, equipped with 4 x 8″ drivers and 4 x 1″ compression drivers. The high-frequency drivers are coupled to a line array waveguide and produce a dispersion angle of 100° horizontally and 0°/-20° vertically via a large horn.
The HF section of the VENIA series provides a vertically asymmetrical sound pressure coverage with a plane wavefront. The principle of larger line arrays is transferred to the VENIA loudspeakers in a compact column format: the high-frequency energy is bundled to cover longer distances and the near filed is covered by curving with a lower energy content distributed to a larger area. The result is a very balanced level distribution across the entire listening area with very homogeneous sound distribution. This gives VENIA-8 an enormous advantage as a single loudspeaker and is also easier and faster to set up and commission than conventional line array systems.
Energy coverage VENIA Series: Very even volume coverage from front to back
Energy coverage conventional loudspeaker: Loud at the front and quiet at the back
With its slim appearance, the VENIA series makes a valuable appearance in all mobile applications and in fixed installations. The beautifully curved front grille with discreet mini-honeycomb perforation and large R50 side radii makes the loudspeaker look very elegant and integrate discretely even in architecturally sophisticated surroundings. With the optional X-Tension, a designer stand with the same enclosure format, the VENIA-8 becomes a design sculpture and can be raised to a visually appealing height. A steel base plate is available to ensure that the X-Tension stands securely. In addition, the X-Tension can be mounted on any subwoofer with an M20 flange.
Due to its low crossover frequency, the VENIA-8 can be combined with any subwoofer. With its above-average performance of almost 140 dB at a weight of just 35 kg, it is also a powerful Main-PA in combination with several subwoofers. A stereo pair of VENIA-8s can be combined with up to eight Paveosub-118. Thanks to the powerful high-frequency driver unit, the VENIA-8 always plays in a relaxed and pleasant manner, even at high volumes, and meets even the highest sonic demands.
The VENIA-8’s sophisticated detail solutions and extensive range of accessories allow for a wide variety of applications and installations. The integrated pole mount, the tool-free mountable Voice-Acoustic Easyfly mechanism, or the U- and C-bracket and various M10 mounting points leave nothing to be desired. For best handling in mobile operation, up to 20 u-shaped handles can be mounted vertically and horizontally on the rear. A safety cable for secondary safety can be attached with a single-stud. Two VENIA loudspeakers can be operated in head stacking configuration, which extends the range of applications.
Like the other Voice-Acoustic loudspeakers, the housing is made of sturdy birch plywood of highest quality: CNC milled, grooved, screwed and waterproof glued. The surface is protected by a stable and moisture-resistant polyurea coating in black. White speakers and special colours with 2K textured paint are optional available. The Voice-Acoustic VENIA series sets a new standard in performance and design for high-performance column line array loudspeakers.
Control
The VENIA-8 is bi-amping operated on two channels (1.580 W/8 Ω + 450 W/8 Ω) of the HDSP-6 amplifiers. This way both channels can be limited, filtered, separated from each other and compensated for time differences.
The woofer and compression driver is in 8 Ω.
Two VENIA-8 bi-amping can be connected to one HDSP-6.
