3) Accessories
For an easy setup are available among others: a
professional fly-bar (DRK-210) for flown and stacked
installation, and a trolley (DT-VIOL210) for a quick and
safe transport.
a) DRK-210 FLY-BAR
In stacked installation (for example a line-array stacked
on a S318 sub), the use of the pins, of the rear bracket
of VIO-L1610, and of the 2 movable bars of DRK-210, as
shown, make the assembling quick and easy.
For further and detailed information please refer to
the related DRK-210 user manual.
b) DT-VIOL210 TROLLEY
The DT-VIOL210 Trolley can carry up to four VIO
L1610s.
It has been designed for a quick displacement of the
line-array elements. It is provided with wheels and
upper coverage to protect the loudspeakers in a safe
and ergonomic way.
The DRK-210 fly-bar allows different configurations,
flown or stacked, for the professional stage use. It has
2 load adaptors (X, Z) for the use of up to two different
rigging motors, one rear bracket (Y) specifically
designed for the flown installation, and 2 movable
bars [K] for stack mounting. The maximum admitted
number of cabinets in different configurations
depends on various parameters, like VIO L1610 splay
angles and DRK-210 tilt.
For further and detailed information please refer to
the related DT-VIOL210 user manual.

The DIGIPRO G4® amplifier of VIO L1610 is controlled
by a powerful DSP. All the connections and controls
are in the rear amplifier control panel:
3 – RDNet Data In / Data out
4 – DSP PRESET rotary switches (Speaker
coupling/High frequency compensation)
5 – Status LEDs (Limiter, Signal, Mute/Protection,
Ready)
6 – Control LEDs (Link, Active, Remote preset Active)
7 – Mini B-type USB port for firmware updating
8 – Auto-range Mains Input
9 – Mains link output
10 –Mains fuse
11 – System test
WARNING
The fuse is factory set for 220-240V~ operation.
If it is necessary to change the fuse to 100-120V~ range:
1. Turn off the power and disconnect the speaker from
any cable.
2. Wait 5 minutes.
3. Substitute the fuse with the correct one supplied.
a)
Once you have properly set up the mechanical
line-array configuration (see also the VIO L1610
complete user manual and accessories instructions for
further information), connect the audio input (1) of the
first module of the array. Then connect the useful link
audio output (1) to other VIO L1610 modules, for the
connection of all the line-array elements. Set HPF filter
(11).
b)
Check the rear panel
reference label for a proper
DSP regulation in line array.
Please note that this kind of
configuration can be set and
modified also by the use of
remote
controller (RDNet Control 2
or RDNet Control 8) and

Connect the power link output (9) of the first
module to the mains input (8) of a second VIO L1610
module of the line-array, and so on, in order to link
the power supply between all the elements. The
maximum linkable rated power and current depends
on the first module connection (type of cable, type of

In case of remote control, connect the proper
Data Input (3) of the first module of the line-array to
the hardware remote controller (RDNet Control 2 or
RDNet Control 8) with cables equipped with etherCON
connectors. Then connect the Data Output (3) of the
first module to the Data Input (3) of the second one,
and so on. When the RDNet network is on and it has
recognized the connected device, the LED “Link” (6) is
on. The other LED (6) “Active” start blinking when
there is the presence of data transmission, the
“Remote Preset Active” advise that all the local
controls set on the amplifier panel (level, DSP presets,
etc.) are by-passed and controlled remotely by RDNet.
See also RDNet Control 2 and RDNet Control 8 user
manuals for further information.
The software which must be used in case of remote
control is dBTechnologies AURORA NET. This software
can control different speakers in different
configurations.
It allows a complete remote control and a full real-time
monitoring in various scenarios. For example, the user
can control a setup with 2 line-arrays of VIO L1610 and
