VERTUS is composed of two systems named MLA (Mixed Control Line Array) and CLA (Column Line Array), both characterized by an extruded aluminum chassis and both are modular.

VERTUS MLA is a column speaker system with vertical directional characteristics fully controllable by the user both for the steering of the radiation lobe and for the width and form of the lobe itself.
It is possible to emulate the directivity of a classic J-form line array, either curved or straight.

VERTUS MLA series:

- MLA608A for Mid/Low frequencies (60hz -- 2KHz)
- MLA801A for High frequencies (2KHz -- 20KHz)

The principle behind the operation of VERTUS MLA is based on the combined mechanical/digital control of directivity. Digital allows for the control of directivity up to around 4KHz; mechanical, assisted by digital, from 4KHz to over 15KHz.

MLA 608A:
6 x 200W RMS
Mixed Control Active Line Array

 6-way active Mid/Low Line Array Column, in bass reflex with digital directivity aiming
 6 x 8" (200mm) custom neodymium woofers with 2" (50 mm) voice coil
 6 class D 200Wrms amplifiers with two switch mode power supplies for a total of 1200W power, 136dB Max SPL
 Completely controllable directional features, through control switches on the back panel or through PC software and dedicated RS-485 network
 Digital full-range aiming from +5 to -25° with included beamwidth between 5° and 25/40°
 DSP processor for the management of digital aiming and signal processing, 8 available presets
 Extruded-aluminum powder-coated cabinets. Superior latching system as well as inferior for the MLA series, allowing for great component modularity

MLA 801A:
8 x 30W RMS
Mixed Control Active Line Array

 8-way active HF Line Array Column, in bass reflex with digital/mechanical directivity aiming
 8 x 0,75" (20mm) B&C neodymium drivers with 1" (25 mm) voice coil on wave guide
 8 class D 30Wrms amplifiers for a total of 240W power, 138dB Max SPL
 Revolutionary combined aiming digital/mechanical full-range system from +5 a -25° with included lobe width between 5° and 25/40°
 8 hybrid stepped motor controlled by a microprocessor for the mechanical aiming of wave guides
 DSP processor for the management of digital aiming and signal processing, 8 available presets
 Extruded-aluminum powder-coated cabinets. Superior latching system as well as inferior for the MLA series, allowing for great component modularity.

The VERTUS CLA cylindrical wave front boasts the pleasant effect of present and precise forwardly projected sound, without reverberation typical of traditional speaker systems that often excite the ambient reflection, directing unnecessary acoustic energy, namely in ceilings and floor.
The very thin and long form allows for the integration of the speaker column in any environment in a discrete and non-invasive way.

VERTUS CLA is a light and compact modular line array system created for both live and fixed installations, comprised by two products:

- CLA 604a: bi-amp two-way active column speakers 400 + 100W RMS
- CLA 208Sa: active subwoofer 600W RMS

The qualities of the CLA system can be summed up in the following:

- High-level sound quality from 50Hz to 20kHz expressly developed for live performance
- Long distance sound projection and better SPL distribution towards the audience
- Great and dynamic power performance thanks to tri-amplification system
- Lightweight and easy to carry
- Design and elegance for an easy integration even in the most demanding installations
- Very compact dimensions enable the listener to concentrate on sound and not on speakers!
- High horizontal dispersion

CLA 604a
400W + 100W RMS
Column Active Line Array

 2-way bi-amplified Line Array Column
 6 x 4" (100mm) custom neodymium woofer with 1" (25 mm) voice coil
 4 x 1" (25mm) neodymium dome tweeter on waveguide
 Class D 400Wrms amplifier for LF and 100Wrms for HF with switch mode power supply, 125dB Max SPL
 DSP processor with 8 available equalization presets
 100°H x 20°V dispersion
 Extruded-aluminum powder-coated cabinets. Superior as well as inferior latching system, enables the extension of the length of the line array adding CLA604A modules for a greater modularity of the system.
 Easily expandable for a total power of 6600W (stereo system composed of 3 x CLA604a and 3 x CLA208Sa)

CLA 208Sa:
600W RMS
Processed Active Subwoofer

 Active subwoofer in bass-reflex design
 2 x 8" (200mm) custom neodymium, high-excursion woofer with 1,4" (38 mm) voice coil
 Class D 600Wrms amplifier with switch mode power supply, 129dB Max SPL
 DSP processor with 4 available presets
 15mm birch plywood enclosure with anti-scratch paint finish, stackable
 Suitable for low frequency extension and reinforcement of the CLA604a array, especially for live performance.

    1) How many people can it provide sound to?

    2) Price for each module?
