VERIS 2 APPLICATIONS

To select the most appropriate VERIS 2 product(s) for your application, the initial factors to
consider are the size of the venue, the style of music and speech to be reproduced, and the
location(s) of the loudspeaker(s).
In smaller venues with less demanding musical styles, one can usually achieve excellent
results with the V2-12 and the V2-15 models. A good rule of thumb is to use a pair of these
models for venues that host up to approximately 200 persons.
By adding a second pair of either the V2-12 or V2-15, venues that host as many as 300 to 400
persons can be effectively covered. Each pair of enclosures may be configured side-by-side or
one over the other, to produce additional forward radiated power.
In rooms that are particularly wide - but shallow in depth, such as fan-shaped churches - a
second pair may be required simply to obtain the necessary horizontal coverage, even if
overall power is not an issue.
The V2-15, with its 15" cone driver, will provide additional low-frequency content than that of
the V2-12, which has a 12" cone driver, resulting in a richer, fuller response. However, if
either model is to be used with subwoofers, such as the V2-210S, V2-212S, or V2-215S, the
difference in the response between the V2-12 and the V2-15 will be minimized.
V2-32 and V2-35 models are true three-way designs, employing horn loaded mid-range
drivers in addition to their horn loaded high-frequency drivers. This design yields better
directional control than a two-way system. The added directionality is an asset in reverberant
rooms where it's important to keep the sound energy off of the walls, floor and ceiling, and/or
when there's a need to cover long distances, either indoors or out.
The larger V2-35 with its 15" cone driver will provide deeper low-frequency response than that
of the V2-32 which employs a 12" cone driver, but here again the difference in response will
be minimal if either model is used with a VERIS 2 subwoofer.
The small V2-6 and V2-8 loudspeakers are ideal for small rooms (25 – 75 persons), as well as
for distributed systems in large rooms. They can also be used as 'delay speakers,'
augmenting a larger system to balance out the levels from the front of the room to the rear of
the room. The practice of driving small speakers through a delay line is used in many
theatrical systems, concert hall systems, and houses of worship. It gives the installer a
powerful tool when it comes time to equalize and balance the system.
In large rooms, and especially those in which the acoustical conditions are not ideal, we
strongly recommend the use of under-balcony delay speakers, over-balcony delay speakers,
front fill speakers, etc. In areas of the room that are too far away from the primary
loudspeaker(s) to enjoy clear intelligibility, the addition of local, delayed speakers can do
wonders in solving problems.
The V2-26 and V2-28 models provide twice the woofer cone area of their smaller cousins. The
second woofer cone provides more overall power with greater bass response. These models
are a good choice for distributed music systems, such as in health clubs, bars, restaurants and
the like.
New! The VERIS 2 line now has the ability to rotate the HF horn to change the axes of widest
and narrowest HF dispersion. This new feature applies to V2-6, V2-8, V2-26 and V2-28
models. The distinctive advantage is that the loudspeaker can now be located and installed in
a physical orientation that best suits the architectural requirements and room décor, without
compromising the loudspeakers' acoustical dispersion characteristics.
New! The VERIS 2 line now includes three subwoofers (previously only two models). The V2-
210S employs dual 10" drivers, while the V2-212S utilizes dual 12" drivers, and the all-new
V2-215S features dual 15" cone drivers. The new V2-215S provides the additional power and
depth-of-response that's needed for larger clubs, houses of worship, and other venues, while
still retaining the 'punch' and 'tight response' that VERIS subwoofers have come to be known
for.
All three models add extended low-frequency response and increased power to the VERIS 2
full-range loudspeaker(s) that they are intended to be used with. By removing the LF power
demand from the full-range VERIS 2 models - and transferring much of the LF requirements
over to the subwoofer(s), the entire system benefits significantly.
