AMPLIFIERS Description: VANTEC-118A 1) INPUT connectors : 1/4” Jack+XLR combined socket-type input signal connectors. This is a balanced connector just like the LOOP THRU connector with the following pin assignments: 1 or S =GND (ground). 2 or T =(+) Non inverted input. 3 or R =(-) Inverted input. 2) SATELLITE OUTPUT A and B, XLR-type output signal connectors for connecting several units together and sending them all the same input signal or filtered signal (by using THRU/HPF).
Description: VANTEC-20A Press the encoder to start navigation Note: The INPUT and LOOP THRU are type XLR balanced connectors. By default the state of the parameters shown is the following. Keep in mind that any parameter changed in the DSP will remain with the same value until someone changes it again. AUDIO MANAGEMENT 1U "N.

WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY Master cabinet MAIN MENU WIRELESS AUDIO WIRELESS AUDIO STATUS: not linked The VANTEC series systems include wireless connectivity for streaming audio and / or system´s management. By the use of the free APP DASlink users can send audio up to 2 devices (Master + Slave) and control / monitor them changing parameters and creating custom presets.
OPTIONS In this sub-menu the user can configure all the non-audio related options.
ON / OFF A sound system should be switched on sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound sources such as CD players or turntables, then the mixer, then the processors, and finally the selfpowered unit. If you have several units, it is r e c o m m e n d e d t h a t yo u s w i tc h t h e m o n sequentially one at a time.
Troubleshooting No sound f rom the unit. The input meters in the screen do not show any signal presence. 1 - The signal source is sending no signal. 2 - Input gain controls are at minimum position. 3 - Defective cable. 4 - If Wireless Audio is connected input 1 which controls audio is at mimimum position or Volume of the source is muted. 1 - Check that the source is not muted and is sending signal to the unit. 2 - Check input gain controls. Put them at 0dB.
RIGGING Warning To perform any operations related to flying the system, read the present document first, and act on the warnings and advice given. The goal is to allow the user to become familiar with the mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic system, as well as the safety measures to be taken during set-up and teardown. Only experienced installers with adequate knowledge of the equipment and local safety regulations should fly speaker boxes.
Safety pin (Ø 6 mm) that allows to hook the enclosures Please follow the process to attach one box to another. First, let's look at the sides of the enclosure that we can see in the figure. In the figure we can see the safety pin and the lower trigger. The safety pin is housed in a holder and the sliding attachment plate is hidden.
To unhook the enclosures we will act on the upper pins of the lower box as indicated below: 1 3 2 First we remove the pins (1) on each side. Now, we reposition the pins in the holders (2). We can now separate the enclosures (3). Finally, we retract the attachment plates as indicated on the previous page. AX-VT20 nº11 The rigging frame AX-VT20 is suitable for hanging a maximum of 5 units of VANTEC-20A. It has 11 pick-up points for the lifting slings, numbered from front to back (see attached figure).
TRD-2 and TRD-6 The VANTEC-20A unit has a tripod socket on its underside that allows a box angle between + 25º and -10º when placed on a TRD-2 tripod or on a TRD-6 pole. It is only possible to use one unit in this way. The VANTEC-118A and VANTEC-218A enclosures have a socket for a TRD-6 pole. 25º 7.
PL-VT20S The PL-VT20S platform with WLL = 90 kgf allows transport of up to 3 stacked units of VANTEC-20A. Its stacked configuration requires that the lower enclosure be secured by safety pins by inserting the sliding attachment plates into the slots on the platform. The other boxes will be joined by using the rigging system. PL-VT20S PL-VT118S Safety pin PL-VT118S The PL-VT118S platform with WLL = 150 kgf allows transport of up to 3 stacked units of VANTEC118A.
ANNEX : Line connections: unbalanced and balanced There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level: Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them. Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and ¼” (6.35mm, often referred to as jack) mono.
