VUE Audiotechnik has introduced the first product in its new al-Class of professional loudspeakers. The al-4 Subcompact Line Array System includes a beryllium compression driver, Kevlar/Neo LF transducers, plus precision amplification and DSP with an ultra-compact and scalable design to build larger systems.

The al-4 Line Array System includes the al-4 Acoustic Element and the rack-mount V4 Systems Engine. The compact al-4 Acoustic Element measures just 18.9×5.5×10.3 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 18 pounds. Drivers are loaded in an M-T-M (LF-HF-LF) configuration for symmetrical horizontal consistency. Two 4-inch Kevlar cone neodymium woofers flank a VUE-designed, 1-inch exit neodymium compression driver with a Truextent beryllium diaphragm. The beryllium compression driver is mounted to a precision waveguide delivering 90 degrees of horizontal coverage.

The 2U rack-mount V4 Systems Engine is a two-input/four-output configuration capable of powering up to eight al-4 elements with two channels at 1600 watts each for the low frequency and two channels at 550 watts each for the high frequency (pure, sine wave rating). The V4 also handles all system management including speaker protection, as well as system-optimized alignment of EQ, time and crossover functions.
