Nova Visio VS12 two-way speaker
Product no: MAV-VS12 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The VS12 is a rugged 12-inch Nova Visio speaker with a 1.75-inch compression driver. The speaker produces up to 300W RMS, with a peak of 1200W! Not only that, but the VS12 is also highly sensitive, meaning that it can produce a lot of sound pressure with relatively little power, resulting in smaller amplifiers. Weighing in at just 19 kg, the VS12 isn't so heavy that you wouldn't be able to mount it to speaker stands yourself.

Nova Visio VS12: powerful speaker

Where many brands are bringing out plastic speakers nowadays, Nova Visio is keeping it classy with wood. Wooden cabinets are actually extremely beneficial for the sound, as they keep the audio much more open than plastic housing. Furthermore, the speaker horn offers a sound dispersion of 90 x 40 degrees. This speaker is a great choice for amplifying vocals, and when you pair it with a subwoofer, it's great for amplifying a band.

Tips or comments about this product

Please note:

It's very important to pay close attention to the way you combine the Nova Visio VS12 and Nova VS215. On the back of the VS215 subwoofer you'll find a switch to select active or passive modes. This is a little different than what most people are accustomed to. If you use separate processing with two amplifiers, then the switch needs to be on active, which means it will work with a bi-amp. If you're using a separate amplifier, such as the Nova Visio VS12 & VS215 PA set with amps bundles on this page, then you need to set the switch to passive. If you take the P7000S, for example, that means you can adjust the XO, or, crossover frequency, on the back of the amplifier.
An important note for the last point is: be sure to use a 4-pin SpeakON cable, not a 2-pin one. Otherwise you won't get any sound, and you may even damage the system.

.. nu al ca 2 jaar in bezit en nog steeds razend enthousiast over dit fantastische geluid. We hebben deze 4 x in de zaal hangen, (samen met 1 x de sub woofer van NOVA) op de dansvloer een dit geeft een "real headphone" effect, hoe je ook beweegt, een vol en dynamisch geluid. Een echte aanrader !

Mijn JBL speakers waren aan vervanging toe, want de buitenkant werd te gehavend om nog representatief te zijn . Dus ik ging eigenlijk in Goes luisteren naar een ander merk... maar nadat die (erg) tegenviel toch de Nova maar even laten aansluiten (kon ze niet).... wat een geluid!
Helder, zuiver, neutraal. Hele nette afwerking, prima gewicht. Ik was op slag verliefd en wist het zeker: dit worden mijn nieuwe speakers.

Nu een aantal weken in mijn bezit en kan zeggen dat ik er zeker geen spijt van heb.

Na eerst vele merken als JBL, QSC (K12 & KW12), Alto Pro, EV & RCF te hebben geluisterd, kwam BAX vervolgens na mijn eerder persoonlijke voorkeur voor Alto Pro 12" actief met een passieve oplossing. Dat was dus de Nova Vison VS12 (12"), waarbij al de rest meteen kwamen te vervallen. Dat kwam met name door de mooie complete en rustige sound met een voortreffelijk mid. Super geschikt voor zang en percussie. Dat springt er echt uit. Met 2 x NOVA VS12, DCX2496 DSP en een EV Q99 versterker heb je een echte top set, die ik heb aangevuld met de nieuwe 18" actieve longthrow subs van EV ETK 18sp. What a blast!!! Voor vele subs geldt (bijv QSC KW-181), dat de bas snel wegvalt als je van de bas weg loopt. Met deze EV's dus niet! Eventueel als alternatief de passieve Nova VS215 dubbel 15". Mooi compact en een ingebouwde aan/uit schakelbare filter bij doorlussen via NL4 SpeakON. Nadeel Nova Sub, ook 2de versterker nodig...

Maar de NOVA VS12's zijn echt top en zeer betaalbaar. Ze zijn ook buitengewoon mooi afgewerkt met echte pro looks. Voorts zijn ze fantastisch mooi en makkelijk te vliegen met de Penn Elcom verstelbare vliegogen. De Nova's leveren heel veel vermogen, loepzuiver en zijn zeer aangenaam in geluid (niet fel/aggressief), gewicht (19 kg)en grootte.

Twee nadelen geconstateerd:
1 - De 35mm flens past niet mooi op de dure K&M wind-up statieven. Andere flens monteren inclusief bijvoorbeeld kantel mogelijkheid.
2 - Geen standaard hoezen beschikbaar... Opgelost met een mooie QSC K12 bag (wel eu 89 per stuk). Past precies en kun je gelijk je SpeakON kabels in doen. Of mooie hoes bestellen bij Muzip.nl (eu 99 p/stuk).

Suggestie aan NOVA/Craaft Duitsland:
- 35mm flens verbeteren.
- ook handvat/grip aan bovenkant kast maken, handig bij tillen en in tas doen.
- geef er standaard Nova hoezen bij (is gratis reclame).

More Bass with QSC K Cardioid Subwoofer and E Series

Thursday 12 January 2017 By Lizanne

With a regular subwoofer, you can often lose low tones. QSC has found the solution to that problem and named it the K Cardioid. They plan to officially launch this active sub at the 2017 NAMM show next week. It has a cardioid directional pattern at its core which effectively prevents low frequencies from escaping via the rear or sides of the cabinet, resulting in more bass and a higher sound pressure level!
