New digitally steerable column speaker VSA 2050

The VSA 2050 is a multi-amplified vertical steerable array that represents one of the latest RCF applications in terms of digital audio technology and is the ideal speaker for indoor installations where the critical acoustic environment is an issue and where moderate visual impact is required.
Thanks to the use of the latest DSP technology, the VSA 2050 processes the audio signal sent to each speaker for controlling its vertical acoustic dispersion to address the audio signal exactly to the listening area, avoiding to send the acoustic energy to ceilings and empty floors, thus not introducing bad reflections that would affect speech intelligibility, mainly in critical environments with high reverberation time.
State of the art transducers have been developed for the VSA, in order to offer the highest possible intelligibility and wider frequency response, according to RCF philosophy. The powerful DSP circuit is directly connected in digital domain to the twenty 50 W each Class-D technology power amplifiers, which are able to drive the 20 transducers with the optimal headroom. The amplification circuits include several protections and controls always to operate in safe mode.
Through the VSA RC (remote control) user friendly touch screen interface it is possible to select among three different group of presets that offer a remarkable easiness in the VSA 2050 configuration process. For two out of three groups of presets the only parameters that the operator has to insert, in fact, are the installation height of the column and the area to cover.
A structure in extruded aluminium has been made to offer a product with very limited architectural impact, light weight and simple installing operations.
