DB Technologies Vio L208 - 900W 2 x 8-inch Powered 2-Way Line Array Loudspeaker with 100-Degree Horizontal Coverage in Black Finish

The dB Technologies Vio L208 is a powerful yet compact 900W dual 8-inch powered 2-way line array loudspeaker, designed for exceptional versatility and high-end performance. Featuring an advanced acoustic design and Digipro G3 amplification, the Vio L208 combines detailed audio quality with extended throw capabilities, making it an ideal choice for both standalone use and as a down-fill in hybrid Vio L210 systems. Its compact size and lighter rigging elements offer a faster, more efficient setup, catering to various professional sound reinforcement needs. Whether used in a smaller venue or integrated into larger Vio systems with Vio S series subwoofers, this speaker excels in delivering a clean, precise sound across a wide range of applications.

The Vio L208 is equipped with dual 8-inch neodymium woofers and a 1.4-inch neodymium compression driver with a 3-inch voice coil, offering impressive frequency response and clarity. Its all-in-one phase plug and high-frequency horn front panel, combined with a specialized waveguide, enable the speaker to produce a cylindrical wavefront, ensuring excellent high-frequency dispersion over long distances. This design provides superior coverage and enhanced projection, making it ideal for both small and large venue applications. The 900W RMS Class-D amplifier with an auto-range power supply ensures powerful, efficient performance, while the FIR linear phase filters and low-latency processing guarantee the highest sound accuracy.

The Vio L208 includes a robust DSP processing engine with a 28/56-bit controller and 24-bit/48kHz AD/DA converters, allowing precise sound management. Users can customize the system with a variety of DSP presets for acoustic fine-tuning, optimizing it for different venues and performance environments. The system's intuitive controls include speaker coupling and high-frequency compensation presets, providing further customization. Additionally, the Vio L208 integrates RDNet remote control via an RJ45 connector, allowing real-time monitoring and adjustments through Aurora Net software.

Mechanically, the Vio L208 is built for simplicity and durability. The speaker features a plywood enclosure with a durable polyurea finish, making it rugged enough to withstand heavy touring. The integrated 3-point rigging hardware allows for quick and easy flying setups, and the built-in inclinometer ensures accurate angling during installation. The Vio L208 is also fully compatible with the Vio L210 system, enabling seamless integration for down-fill purposes in larger hybrid systems. The dedicated AF-Vio1 accessory allows for effortless rigging with Vio subwoofers or use as a safety interface for stacked configurations. Transport is simplified with a dedicated cart that accommodates four Vio L208 modules, ensuring easy handling and setup at any venue.
