Overview

The VLS 7 (EN 54) is a 600-Watt passive column array loudspeaker ideally suited for challenging acoustic and architecturally sensitive spaces in speech only applications, including, airports, train stations, conference centers, houses of worship, stadium concourses and museums. The heart of the loudspeaker system is its asymmetrical vertical dispersion, which gently shapes the acoustic coverage towards the lower quadrant of the vertical axis. VLS 7 (EN 54)’s Focused Asymmetrical Shaping Technology (FAST) also facilitates quick and easy installation, with less need for tilting for optimal mounting. EN 54-24 compliance makes the VLS 7 (EN 54) the perfect choice where safety is a top priority. VLS7 (EN54) packages this performance in a slender and narrow profile, aesthetically refined, powder coated aluminum chassis with curved stainless steel grille.

Superb Performance

VLS 7 (EN 54)’s design comprises 7 vertically arrayed 3.5" fullrange drivers for high intelligibility speech reproduction from 110 Hz - 14 kHz (-10 dB) with 118 dB peak SPL (1 m, Lo-Z). The UV and weather resistant aluminium enclosure provides 130° horizontal x +6° / -22° vertical dispersion for targeted coverage. Also certified for water and dust ingress protection to IP65 standard, the VLS 7 (EN 54) is an exceptional choice for challenging environments such as indoor swimming pools, saunas, or work areas with unusually high levels of dust or moisture, and numerous outdoor applications.

FAST – Focused Asymmetrical Shaping Technology

Designed with an asymmetrical vertical dispersion pattern, the VLS 7 (EN 54) merges enhanced performance with simplified mounting to cover a wide range of installed applications. The vertical dispersion of the VLS 7 (EN 54) allows optimal zones to targeted for even and precise coverage. Additionally, in installations where conventional column loudspeakers require substantial
downward tilt, the VLS 7 (EN 54) requires much less – even enabling flush mounting, for significantly improved visual aesthetics.
