VUE Audiotechnik hm-115r Single 15-inch, Stage Monitor (Right - requires V4)

The VUE Audiotechnik hm-115r, a Stage Monitor (Right - requires V4), is one of the latest evolution in a family of world-renowned stage monitors from VUE’s Design Chief Michael Adams, this formula has been perfected over the course of many many years. In fact, the VUE Audiotechnik hm-115r's footprint and transducer orientation is the direct descendent of classic monitors that have shared the stage with acts such as  Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello, Lenny Kravitz, Toby Keith, Gary Allan, Frank Santana, Brian Setzer, Boz Scaggs, Def Leppard, and Rage Against the Machine to name just a least number of it.

The new VUE Audiotechnik hm-115r updates this legendary formula by taking a total advantage of VUE’s most advanced technologies and the similar “No Compromises” design philosophy behind the company’s flagship h-Class systems. From its precision, beryllium-infused HF transducers, to the companion rack-mount V4 VUEDrive Systems Engine with next-generation DSP capabilities, the VUE Audiotechnik hm-115r is totally integrated, electro-acoustic monitoring system that is capable of delivering an unparalleled output and fidelity for the most demanding fold-back applications.

Rugged and Purposeful Enclosure Design

The precision-engineered transducers are enclosed in a extremely low-profile and rugged housing that is capable to ensure a clear sight lines from the audience, or from the camera, to performers, and to provide a large sweet spot for talent-whether directly over the downstage or monitor at the same time.

Another ensured thing to this durability and that's a big thanks to a rugged, 12-step DuraCoat LX finish and a heavily braced, powder coated grill that totally capable to survive even in the most dramatic lean-ins. stomps, or occasional "axe" bludgeoning.

Road Tested and Stage Ready

The hm monitors are professionally designed as our consummate high definition stage monitor systems. They benefit from Design Chief Michael Adams’ more than 30 years of working with world-class artists in demanding live and broadcast applications. Leveraging his extensive real-world experience, Michael has addressed everything from coverage and directivity to system and floor geometry. The goal is to ensure that the VUE hm-112 and hm-212 capable to deliver a unsurpassed consistency, whether directly overhead (handheld), or upstage.

But all that only scratches the surface. Thoughtful cabinet design is ensuring that the hm monitors are capable to offer a minimal visual intrusion between audience and performer. Their uniquely low profile is ensuring that the coveted sight lines are preserved for set designers and video producers alike, also reducing required truck space when it’s time to pack up and go at the same time. The hm monitors can offer an exceptionally clean and wide dynamic range – allowing monitor engineers for placing a solos or vocals in the front of the mix, exactly where they belong.

Finally, the hm-112 benefits from sophisticated DSP via the companion V4 VUEDrive Systems Engine. This ensures minimal reflections and optimal tuning to avoid the typical hurdles that plague less sophisticated monitor systems. Thanks to Michael Adams’ real-world perspective, hm monitors arrive from the factory fully ready to rock, with minimal tweaking.

Cutting Edge Transducers

It all begins at the core, where the hm-115 monitors combine a precision-engineered 15-inch LF transducers with a horn-loaded compression driver that features VUE’s revolutionary Truextent® beryllium diaphragm. Thanks to beryllium’s extremely high stiffness-to-mass ratio, this unique compression driver delivers dramatically more HF definition, intelligibility and output than more conventional aluminum or titanium-based designs. The driver features a massive voice coil and magnet assemblies designed to minimize power compression while ensuring consistent fidelity and feedback stability right up to maximum output.

Features

• Neodymium HF compression driver with 4″ (100 mm) voice coil and Truextent® beryllium diaphragm for exceptional high-frequency clarity and output
• Integrated electro-acoustic system with rack mount V4 Systems Engine that provides specially configured DSP and massive power output for quick setup and zero performance compromises
• Optimized coverage for real-world stage monitoring use
•  Full network monitoring and control via SystemVUE software (Mac OS, Windows & iOS).
• Very low-profile and rugged birch ply-hardwood enclosure with 12-layer coating Dura-Coat LX finish provides clear sight lines and years of reliable service
