Tech Talk.
“At KS, we place great importance on our products being easy to use. Fortunately, we do not have to write an encyclopedia that the user needs to know in order to achieve excellent performance with our products. For those who want to delve into some basic audio principles, we have designed this Tech Talk page.”
“Dieter Klein, Head of R&D, explains how VALTEC™ works in our new VC LINE”
With the VALTEC™ principle it is possible to bend the wavefront of a Waveguide more or less so that the vertical dispersion angle can be set between 0° and 30°. In this video Dieter Klein, the developer of this technique, explains how it works. With the VC LINE Array, which uses the patented VALTEC™ principle, KS Audio has designed a Line Array that behaves like a real point source. From line source to point source by VALTEC™. A homogeneous wavefront, no comb-filter effect and a higher SPL in the HF-range are advantages of this unique technique. VALTEC™ heralds a new Line Array era.
This video explains how the VALTEC™ principle works and is used very successfully in the VC LINE array.

Approx. 3ms/m?
Who in pro-audio does not recognise the number 3ms?
Where we learn that sound has a speed of 344M/s (at 20° and normal air pressure and humidity), the result is that sound takes 2.9ms to travel 1m according to the formula:
1 / 344 s/m = 0,0029 s/m = 2,9ms/m
So although 3ms is a good number to remember, 2.9ms would be better.
