Point Source Array Modules Introduction To VARIA The VARIA loudspeaker family includes 3 full-range array mod- a base for floor standing systems or as a suspension platform for ules and a 15 inch subwoofer. All have been designed to offer the flown vertical arrays.
Point Source Array Modules The VARIA Hardware The array modules include an internal steel rigging infrastructure designed for safe, easy and clean looking installations in venues of any size or complexity. Note: Add 4 lbs. to each enclosure for the rigging connectors (6 lbs. for the SUB Connector). Enclosure Types: 7°...

We strongly recommend that you have your design reviewed and approved by a licensed structural engineer VA101-CN-RPK RHANG-VA101H who can also verify the suitability of the building attachment points. Renkus-Heinz is not responsible for any non Ren- kus-Heinz products or for any misuse of Renkus- Heinz products.
Point Source Array Modules Ground Stacked Multiple full range array modules can be stacked on the ground or floor using one or more of the matching subwoofers as a base. The array modules and the subwoofers are joined together us- ing MPS, M1 or M2 connectors.

Point Source Array Modules The modular point source nature of VARIA lends itself to building custom coverage patterns to match room geometries. In this fashion, simple arrays such as the one shown below are straightforward. The MPS connector is the only connector needed and are provided with each loudspeaker.
Point Source Array Modules Horizontal Arrays The complementary cabinet angles and tightly controlled dispersion that allow the sonic outputs of VARIA array modules to be smoothly mixed to obtain the desired coverage perform just as well in horizontal arrays as they do in vertical line arrays. Joining two VA101-22 22.5º...
Point Source Array Modules Software EASE and EASE Focus II Simulation Software Varia101 GLL data in EASE and EASE Focus II simulation software tools allows you and system designers to quickly and accu- rately predict the performance of individual Varia loudspeakers and of Varia arrays in various settings. Simply define the audience areas, position the loudspeaker or array, add or remove cabinets and adjust its height, location and aiming angle until you achieve the desired results in the simula- tion.
VAX15Si subwoofers are shipped wired for fully passive operation using the internal crossover. The crossover can be bypassed by removing the connector plate from the cabinet and changing several internal connections. For detailed instructions, please refer to the Renkus-Heinz Loudspeaker User’s Manual, form RH508. Array Module High Frequency Control Not all setups are identical and neither are all rooms.
