Introduction To VARIA
The VARIA loudspeaker family includes 3 full-range array mod-
ules and a 15 inch subwoofer. All have been designed to offer the
ultimate in versatility and performance.
The VA/VAX101-7 long throw module features a closely controlled
7.5 degree vertical dispersion ideal for long throw applications. It
is most commonly used at the top of high power vertical arrays.
The VA/VAX101-15 with 15 degrees of vertical coverage is a
medium throw module and is most often used in the center of
vertical arrays or in stand alone systems.
The VA/VAX101-22 has 22.5 degrees of vertical coverage and
is the most versatile of the array modules. In vertical arrays it is
used at the bottom of the array to provide near field coverage,
Stood upright and mated with other modules, it becomes a com-
pact but powerful horizontal array.
All 3 models offer a wide range of horizontal coverage options.

along with revolutionary 60
waveguides. The transitional waveguides produce a trapezoidal
coverage pattern ideally suited for many square and rectangular
rooms and often eliminate the need for additional side or down fill
loudspeakers.

a base for floor standing systems or as a suspension platform for
flown vertical arrays. VA/VAX15Si 15" subwoofers can be flown
alongside, behind, or at the top of the array, depending on the
requirements. Universal hardware allows for cardioid arrays to be
assembled as and when the need arises. Simply flip one or more
subs within
the array and adjust the onboard DSP to provide a highly direc-
tional low frequency array.
VARIA loudspeakers may be self powered with a powerful built-in
bi-amplifier equipped with RHAON digital signal processing, con-
trol and supervision or they may be passive, including a passive
crossover, for use with external amplification.
The VARIA approach is based on the use of 3 different shape
cabinets, each having a vertical coverage pattern that is comple-
mentary to the cabinet shape. Thus, the VA/VAX101-7 has 7.5º
sides and 7.5º vertical coverage. The -15 modules have 15

coverage and the -22 modules have 22.5

the output of modules in tight packed vertical arrays to sum co-
herently; thus three 15
