VUE Audiotechnik hs-20 Dual 10-inch, ACM™ Powered Subwoofer System

VUE Audiotechnik hs-20 Dual 10-inch, ACM™ Powered Subwoofer System

The VUE Audiotechnik hs-20 comes utilizing the VUE’s revolutionary, Active Compliance Management (ACM) technology for resetting the size-to-performance benchmark for ultra-compact subwoofer systems. The combination of ACM and the hs-20’s highly-sophisticated onboard electronics are resulting in a massive amount of clean low-end, pure energy that comes from a dual 10-inch configuration that's no larger that most single 10-inch designs.

VUE’s patent-pending ACM technology is combining both the band-pass and vented alignments into a single enclosure. The VUE Audiotechnik hs-20 is placing the two high performance, 10-inch transducers into a common vented chamber. One woofer's frontal radiation is direct, and the second woofer's frontal radiation is driving the band-pass chamber at the same time.

In order to make the two ACM subsections to combine acoustically, the team use a sophisticated DPS to align the phase arrivals of the front facing woofer precisely, the common chamber vent, and output of the bandpass chamber vent. The powerful built-in amplifier is sending a 500W of pure sine wave power (800W “burst” ) that comes with a unique optimized signal to each woofer. The combination of 3600 watts of burst power is producing over 137 dB peak output in a half space environment (ground stacked).

The combination of ACM, precision-engineered transducers, and sophisticated electronics is allowing the VUE Audiotechnik hs-20 for delivering a much higher output throughout its operating bandwidth from a remarkably small enclosure with a footprint that's smaller than most dual 10-inch vented designs..

Connects to Virtually Everything

The VUE Audiotechnik hs-20's inputs, just like all h-Class systems, include analogue XLR, AES/EBU Digital (2 Channels) and Dante network audio streams. The user is given the ability to elect from each input and channel with the use SystemVUE software and it will auto fall over from digital to analogue for maximum reliability.

SystemVUE Network

Like all h-Class systems, the hs-20 ships with networking capabilities already onboard. There’s no need for additional cards or retrofitting. VUE uses standard IP protocols to simplify the networking process. Simply plug in and the hs-20 will automatically connect to virtually any kind of IP configuration. Users can then access and monitor network and device-level parameters through our SystemVUE software.

Ruggedly Handsome

We’ve housed all this rich, subwoofery-goodness in a rugged polyurea/polyurethane hybrid elastomer finish that ensures years of one-the-road service. The h class finish is both environmentally friendly (with zero VOC – Volatile Organic Compounds) emitted during manufacture and chemical and moisture resistant.

A highly-durable, 6-step Dura Coat finish looks great and protects the hs-20 through many years on the road. The hs-20 cabinet also comes with a 20 mm threaded insert for a speaker pole on both the top and side of the system.
