The new connection technology simplifies cabling, saves installation time and enables extensions and conversions without incurring significant interruptions to existing operations.

With the Ha-VIS preLink(R) system, the data cable is first assembled in the preLink(R) termination block, which then simply snaps into the preLink(R) standard RJ45 jacks or optional Harting plug modules. The preLink(R) cables can be either terminated in the field or factory supplied pre-terminated in a reliable, performance-guaranteed, pre-tested state.

Building on the discrete main and bass cabinets, STM can be configured at will; from arrays of main cabinets only, to main+bass, or to bass+main+bass. Adding the dedicated subbass cabinets, either in the arrays or as ground-stacks, further increases the options, and the omni units complete the coverage pattern, whatever the scale of the system.
