FAQ
What is the difference between VIO S118 and VIO S118R?
VIO S118 uses horn-loading for compact size with long-throw; VIO S118R uses bass reflex design for ground-stacking applications.
Can the cardioid preset reduce stage noise?
Yes, cardioid operation rejects sound from the rear, improving clarity and reducing feedback in critical stage monitoring applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bass reflex design, and how does it differ from the horn-loaded VIO S118?
Bass reflex uses a ported enclosure to acoustically reinforce low frequencies through controlled cabinet resonance. The S118R bass reflex design offers different acoustic characteristics than the horn-loaded S118, optimised for ground-stacking configurations.
For which touring and installation scenarios is the ground-stacked VIO S118R most suitable?
The VIO S118R is engineered for ground-stacked subwoofer arrays in touring productions, large venues, festivals, and permanent installations. Its bass reflex design and 139 dB SPL capability deliver powerful low-frequency support for demanding applications.
How does RDNet/Dante connectivity enhance system integration in the VIO S118R?
Dual network connectivity via RDNet and Dante allows the S118R to integrate with both line array systems and modern networked audio infrastructures. This enables centralised control of delay, EQ, and level across complex touring rigs.
What is the advantage of 3200W Class D amplification in the bass reflex S118R?
3200W of efficient Class D amplification ensures massive bass output with minimal heat generation during extended touring schedules. This power level drives the 18-inch woofer to full capability while remaining thermally stable.
Can multiple VIO S118R units be stacked to create larger subwoofer arrays?
Yes, multiple S118R units are designed to stack for expanded bass reinforcement in festival and arena applications. Aurora Net and Dante control enable seamless networked coordination. Contact Procure.ae for array configuration guidance.
Is the VIO S118R equally suitable for touring and permanent venue installations?
Yes, the VIO S118R's robust construction, dual network connectivity, and powerful amplification make it ideal for both mobile touring systems and fixed installations in concert halls, auditoriums, and event venues.
