Thank you for choosing an AUDIOFOCUS VENU Series full range 2 way point source
speaker.
This user manual contains essential information for deploying VENU 8, VENU 12 or
VENU 15 elements to their full capability. Read this document carefully to become
familiar with the system.
Whether you are using 2 elements or 24, as oor monitors, adjustable angle pole
mounted or rigged, we are sure you will nd the VENU to be a highly versatile addition
to your professional sound reinforcement inventory or xed installation.
Since point source loudspeakers cannot sum coherently in the way true line source
arrays do (especially in the higher frequencies), they are best used in single box or
small arrays that are focused on discrete listening areas to minimize comb lter
eects.
All VENU series cabinets are made from Birch plywood for rock solid construction
and are shaped in anisometric hexagonal designs to allow for use as stage monitors
if necessary. They feature powder coated steel grills.
For precise aiming and control, and to ensure as little high frequency overlap as
possible, all VENU 12 and VENU 15 loudspeakers are equipped with a rotatable wave
guide.
To keep costs down in budget-conscious applications, AUDIOFOCUS oers the VENU
series in active, bi-amp passive and single channel passive versions.*
*VENU 8 is only oered in active or single channel passive versions.
