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). You need a stronger signal to drive the signal in the `line' position. 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. CLIP: The Clip LED illuminates when the 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 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. 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 connections (such as microphones or other professional audio signals) 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 to another 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. 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 4 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. CH1 (analog) CH2 (analog) DANTE (digital ) (Optional) Input filter s Input filter s Mixer WaveDynamicsTM Delay Adjustable (up to 10m or 30ms) Volume DBB HF LF LINE OUT VEXO1xxA - User manual 011 DSP functions The DSP functions can be adjusted via the AUDAC TouchTM 2 app when the optional ANI44XT DanteTM audio network interface module is installed. The AUDAC TouchTM2 app can be downloaded for free via the AUDAC website, Google play or Apple App store. After the adjustment, the new DSP settings can be applies to the VEXOxxA via a flash drive thanks to the provided USB port. When the ANI44XT module is installed, the DSP is updated live. Talkover: The talkover functionality ducks other music sources to a certain level so spoken messages can be heared. Only analogue input channels and Dante 1 can be used as a source for talk over messages. Line out: The "line out" selects the signal to be output. You can choose between: Signal / Signal + EQ / Signal + EQ + Delay. 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. Anti phase: Phase shift is an audio effect that exploits the way sound waves react to each other when they are out of phase. Phase shift is most likely used to align top/sub speakers or to correct cables that have reversed phase. Noise gate: A noise gate reduces any noises when there is no signal connected. TouchLink: TouchLinkTM is a system that can be used for creating virtual zones by linking multiple compatible devices with each other. In AUDAC TouchTM or directly on the device you can select multiple devices that should react to the user as one zone. More information about TouchLinkTM can be found on the following URL: https://audac.eu/innovations/d/touchlink 4-band input EQ: The four-band equalizer frequencies are infinitely adjustable within a range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, while the Q-factor (bandwidth) is adjustable within a range of 0.05 to 15. The amplification or attenuation of each band can be adjusted within a range of +30 dB to -30 dB. 7-band output EQ: The seven-band equalizer frequencies are infinitely adjustable within a range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, while the Q-factor (bandwidth) is adjustable within a range of 0.1 to 15. The amplification or attenuation of each band can be adjusted within a range of +15 dB to -15 dB. Delay: This function enables to create a specific delay between the input and the output signal. This delay can be used for time alignment between different loudspeakers in one configuration. It is configurable within a range of 0 to 30mS (up to 10 meter). MAX volume: The volume for the speaker can be limited at a certain level. The maximum output volume for this speaker will be limited at the selected level. The maximum volume can be adjusted witjin a range of -70dB to -0dB. Dynamic bass boost: Dynamic bass will make a correction depending of the level (volume) in the low frequencies. This correction will make that music will sound warm and detailed (with true reproduction of low frequencies) at low volumes, but with increasing level (volume) the low frequencies will be weakened. This will result in less distortion due to reduced low frequencies at high volumes, allowing the loudspeaker to handle higher sound pressure levels with less distortion. It can be switched ON and OFF, whereby OFF means that dynamic bass is disabled and ON means that a level dependent correction in the low frequencies is made. 012 VEXO1xxA - User manual Chapter 5 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'. The available signal can be defined in the DSP functions In the AUDAC TouchTM 2 app. Repeat these steps for the amount of speakers you desire.
