With a special interest in the audio-visual sector, as well as sound reinforcement and system installation, Match Audio & Vision first discovered Vieta's product range via the wireless So Cubes. Robert Pigeaud, co-owner of Match, was quick to sell and supply a 10-cube hire system to Generation Audio, a rental company based in Oss. This is now in regular use for company events and conferences.

"The market in Holland is quite slow-moving," admits Robert Pigeaud, "but I'm certain customers will be convinced by the quality of the wireless So Line and the specifications of the high-performance Do Line for indoor and outdoor installation."

The amplifier features a low impedance output, as well as 50/70/100V constant voltage outputs. The outputs may be used simultaneously as long as the total of 400W loudspeaker load is not exceeded, say the company.

Under normal working conditions, the amplifier operates quietly, benefiting from its passive convection cooling. When the maximum performance is required and its passive cooling ribs exceed a given temperature, a quiet and controlled fan aids the cooling system. This feature makes the AX-1400T power amplifier an ideal choice for churches and other noise-sensitive applications.

All output connectors are fully touch proof isolated to comply with European Safety Standard EN6
