VEXO1xxA - User manual 07 Chapter 1 Connections and connectors CONNECTION STANDARDS The in- and output connections for AUDAC audio equipment are performed according to international wiring standards for professional audio equipment 3-Pin Terminal block: For balanced signal input and output connections Left: Center: Right: Signal Signal + Ground For balanced signal input and output connections For unbalanced signal input and output connections + 6.3 mm Jack (AUX): For balanced line input connections XLR For balanced line input connections Tip: Ring: Sleeve: PIN 1: PIN 2: PIN 3: USB USB-A: For updates and custom WaveDynamicsTM presets + Sig + Sig Ground Ground Sig + Sig - 08 VEXO1xxA - User manual Chapter 2 Overview VEXO1xxA: Back 1 3 2 VEXO10A 4 PROTECT CLIP -20 dB SIGNAL POWER LINE / MIC MIC CLIP GAIN Powerful speaker cabinet FULL RANGE SATELLITE CUSTOM 6 5 8 7 INPUT CH1 INPUT CH2 LINE OUT POWER IN 9 10 11 1) Integrated carry handle 2) Mic / line switch The integrated handle allows easy movement and handling of the speaker. The switch changes the input sensitivity of the amplifier in the speaker. In the `Mic' position the input has a higher sensitivity than in the `line' position (+23dB). In `line' you need a stronger signal to drive the signal. For safety reasons, press and hold for three seconds to change the input. VEXO1xxA - User manual 09 3) Mode selection: You can choose from different modes. By pushing the button, you can switch between Full Range, Satellite and Custom modes. In full-range, the full capacity of the speaker is used. In satellite, the low frequencies are cut away. This requests for an external bass cabinet to be connected to the system. In custom mode WaveDynamicsTM can be configured live thanks to the ANI44XT module or can be uploaded thanks to the provided USB-port. 4) Status LED: PROTECT: The Amplifier Protection Mode is a shutdown state that amplifiers can enter in critical situations. The purpose of the shutdown state is to prevent damage to the amplifier or other system components. 7) Optional Dante network audio The VEXO has the option to be equipped with a ANI44XT DanteTM audio network. The installation of this optional module allows these amplifiers to be integrated into any DANTE enabled AV network and transfer digital audio with any compatible product on the market, ranging from music sources to microphone systems, mixers, and many more. When the optional ANI44XT module is installed, the VEXO1xxA can be connected to the network here. 8) Input connections The combination input of XLR / 6.3mm Jack and the 3-pin terminal block accepts both XLR or TRS balanced connections (such as microphones or other professional audio signals) and unbalanced 6.3mm Jack connections (such as laptops, phones, CD players,... ). CLIP: The Clip LED illuminates when the corresponding channel is working at maximum level. To ensure the best signal-to-noise ratio, the Clip LED may only illuminate at peak levels. -20 dB: the -20dB LED illuminates when the input signal reaches the -20 dBV level. SIGNAL: The Signal LED illuminates whenever a signal is detected. POWER: When the VEXO is on, the LED is blue. By default, the VEXO will go into standby mode after 20 minutes of inactivity. This is indicated by the LED turning orange. The time period for activating standby can be adjusted in the device settings. 5) USB port for custom WaveDynamicsTM speaker presets 9) Powercon mains input connection: For power supply, the VEXO model is equipped with a compatible PowerCON TRUE1 connector. The powerCON TRUE1 is a locking 3 conductor equipment AC connector. 10) Line output connections: This XLR or 3-pin terminal block output connection should be used to connect an active VEXO loudspeaker. Be sure that the polarity of the speakers is correct. It is possible to intercept the line out signal at various times. See the block diagram on page 11 for more information. Filters and/or delays pre-made in the AUDAC Touch2TM app can be transferred via the line out of the VEXO1xxA. WaveDynamicsTM is an audio control and processing technology implemented in AUDAC amplifiers. The powerful DSP processor, that is built in the amplifiers, can deliver control over the most advanced acoustic configurations. Custom WaveDynamicsTM can be made in the AUDAC Touch2TM app and imported true this USB port. 11) Integrated 35 mm pole adapter: The pole adapter makes it possible to install the VEXO quickly and conveniently on speaker stands with a tube diameter of 35 mm. 6) Gain control: The gain for the inputs is adjustable within a range of - dB to +7 dB which can accept either microphone or line level signals. 010 VEXO1xxA - User manual Chapter 3 Block diagram DSP structure The VEXO1xxA features a digital signal processor (DSP). A DSP is a processor specially designed for processing and modifying digital signals. In this block diagram, we give an overview of the processor's operation.

After the adjustment, the new DSP can be placed on the VEXOxxA via a flash drive thanks to the provided USB port. When the ANI44XT module is installed, the new DSP is updated live. Talkover: The talkover functionallity ducks other music sources to a certain level so spoken messages can be heared. Line out selectable: A choice can be made to output the line out through XLR or terminal block Standby: Standby mode can be enabled or disabled.The duration when standby is activated can be adjusted in the app. The default standby time is 20 minutes. Phase shift: Phase shift is an audio effect that exploits the way sound waves react to each other when they are out of phase. By splitting an audio signal into two signals and adjusting the relative phasing between them, all kinds of interesting sweeping effects can be produced. Noise gate: A noise gate is a type of audio processor used to control excess noise in an audio signal. TouchLink: TouchLinkTM is a system that can be used for creating virtual zones by linking multiple compatible devices with each other. In AUDAC TouchTM 2 or directly on the device you can select multiple devices or outputs that should react to the user as one zone. 012 VEXO1xxA - User manual Chapter 4 Connecting VEXO1xxA Several VEXOxxAs can be linked to each other. Make sure all devices are switched off Insert an XLR cable or terminal block into the `LINE OUT' output at the first VEXO. This cable can be connected to the next VEXO in `INPUT CH1' or `INPUT CH2'. Make sure to set the EQ to precisely the same value on all of the speakers to avoid unbalanced tones in the sound. Repeat these steps for the amount of speakers you desire. Updating VEXO1xxA The software for the VEXO1xxA is constantly being improved. Please check www.audac.eu for possible updates. New software can be downloaded under `downloads' on the product page of the VEXO1xxA. Place the update file on a USB drive. Insert the USB stick into the back of the VEXO. The POWER LED will blink (orange or blue). During the update process the first MIC light will turn green. When the update is completed the POWER LED will turn blue.
