Most of the growth has been delivered by the popular Do Line of compact full-range installation speakers. Two new additions to this range will be unveiled in Frankfurt, packing even more punch into small weather-proof cabinets that are ideal for use in challenging environmental conditions.
But the main draw will undoubtedly be the launch of Vieta's radical new So Line, a range of uniquely-styled speakers and accessories which use Garwood-specified wireless technology and state-of-the-art battery power to provide clear, controllable sound in situations where conventional speaker systems cannot.
The range is built around the So Cube, a stylish omni-directional loudspeaker design that is compact (just nine inches tall on its battery stand), active and battery-powered, and completely wireless. Coupled with a range of So accessories, such as pedestal stands, stackable extension units, and professional 16-channel wireless transmitter stations, the So Cube offers extreme versatility for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, from wedding banquets to corporate functions. Its sleek ergonomic styling is complementary to any table arrangement, whether it be an AV presentation or private hospitality, and its omni-directional design means that positioning of the So Cube is never a critical issue; Cubes can be placed around a venue depending on requirements.
Using Garwood-specified UHF wireless technology, the So wireless transmitter is a 16-frequency system. 8 channels can be run simultaneously, so the system can also be used for multi-lingual translation and commentary applications.
Vieta's latest additions to its successful Do-Line are comprehensively weather-proofed cabinets. The smaller of the two is the Do-53, which features two 3" forward-pointing mid-highs and a 5" woofer on the side, delivering full-range performance from a deceptively compact cabinet. The larger Do-44 uses four 4" speakers, and, handling the full range of frequencies within the cabinet, it is suitable for a variety of applications. Both models are available in black or white, the Do-44 is also available as a 100V-line unit.
