The frequency response extends from 79 Hz to 21 kHz (-6 dB), covering a broad range of audio frequencies with exceptional clarity.
The advanced DSP processing includes Linear Phase FIR Filters, which ensure phase coherence and precise audio performance from any listening position. The onboard DSP offers several preset configurations, including High Pass Filters (HPF) and dedicated EQ modes for Wedge or Full-Range applications, allowing users to easily adapt the Vio X12 to different environments and needs. Furthermore, the Vio X12 is fully networkable via the RDNet port, allowing real-time control and monitoring through the Aurora Net software on both Windows and Mac platforms.
