VSA aims to address the audio signal exactly to the listening area, avoiding sending 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, says the company.
"The target we aimed at when designing the VSA was to offer voice directivity and control over all the voice range, to give high intelligibility performance with wide frequency response and high dynamics and coherence at distance," says a spokesman. "We've been able to reach this goal thanks to the length of the column, the number and size of the speakers, the choice to use a dedicated amplifier for each loudspeaker and other innovative details."
Tilting and beaming are not affected by the steering and the horizontal coverage is very wide and not impaired by discontinuities. TheVSA is able to obtain a very long coverage, up to 30m, while preserving a smooth uniform horizontal coverage.
