VENIA-8sp DDA

Voice-Acoustic VENIA-8sp DDA is a 2-way bi-amplified self-powered column line array speaker, equipped with 4 x 8" drivers and 4 x 1" compression drivers, an internal 3.2 kW power amplifier module, and a DSP speaker management system with extensive features. The DSP offers high processing power and all standard control functions.

DDA represents a new generation of DSP and input cards capable of processing various signal types: DANTE, Digital AES/EBU, AES67, and analog inputs. Signals can be looped through. The high-frequency drivers are coupled to a line array waveguide, producing a dispersion angle of 100° horizontally and 0°/-20° vertically via a large horn.

The HF section in the VENIA series provides vertically asymmetric sound pressure coverage with a flat wavefront. The principle of larger line arrays is adapted to the VENIA speakers in a compact column format: high-frequency energy is bundled to cover longer distances, while the near-field is addressed with curvature, distributing lower energy content across a larger area. The result is a highly balanced level distribution across the entire listening area with very homogeneous sound dispersion. This gives the VENIA-8 a major advantage as a standalone speaker and is also easier and faster to set up and deploy than conventional line array systems.

• Energy coverage VENIA series: Very even volume coverage front to back
• Energy coverage conventional speaker: Loud at the front and quiet at the back

With its slim appearance, the VENIA series adds value in all mobile applications and fixed installations. The beautifully curved front grille with subtle mini honeycomb perforations and large R50 side radii makes the speaker look very elegant and integrates discreetly even in architecturally sophisticated environments. With the optional X-Tension, a designer stand in the same enclosure format, the VENIA-8 becomes a design sculpture and can be elevated to a visually appealing height. A steel base plate is available to ensure the X-Tension stands securely. Additionally, the X-Tension can be mounted on any subwoofer with an M20 flange.

Due to its low crossover frequency, the VENIA-8 can be paired with any subwoofer. With its above-average performance of nearly 140 dB at a weight of just 35 kg, it is also a powerful Main-PA when combined with multiple subwoofers. A stereo pair of VENIA-8 can be combined with up to eight Paveosub-118. Thanks to the powerful high-frequency drivers, the VENIA-8 always performs relaxed and pleasantly, even at high volumes, meeting the highest sound quality standards.

The VENIA-8’s sophisticated detail solutions and extensive accessory options enable a variety of applications and installations. The integrated pole mount, the tool-free attachable Voice-Acoustic Easyfly mechanism, or U- and C-brackets and various M10 mounting points leave no desire unmet. For optimal handling in mobile operation, up to 20 U-shaped handles can be mounted vertically and horizontally on the back. A safety cable for secondary security can be attached with a single bolt. Two VENIA speakers can be used in a head-stacking configuration, expanding their range of applications.

Like other Voice-Acoustic speakers, the enclosure is made from high-quality heavy-duty birch plywood: CNC-milled, grooved, screwed, and waterproof bonded. The surface is protected by a durable and moisture-resistant polyurethane coating in black. White speakers and custom colors with 2K textured paint are available as options. The Voice-Acoustic VENIA series sets a new standard for performance and design in high-performance column line system speakers.

Control

A VENIA-8sp DDA can power a VENIA-8 bi-amp via a 4-pin cable.

The woofer and compression driver are 8 Ω.

Up to four VENIA-6 speakers can be passively connected to an HDSP-6. Up to two VENIA-6 speakers can be passively connected to an HDSP-3 amplifier or self-powered subwoofer.
