with a full digital control from the input socket up to the loudspeaker coil, made us decide to accept

this challenge. In fact, Verse is total sound purity, giving results whose quality is unrivalled in such

small dimensions.

Verse systems are built to astonish for their incredible quality and, thanks to their compactness and

light weight, can always fit in alongside you anywhere. Follow us in our new venture and make it

yours, re-discovering your universe of sounds.

OPEN SYSTEMS FOR OPEN MINDS

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING A VERSE D:SIDER SERIES PRODUCT.

THIS GUIDE WILL GIVE YOU INFORMATIONS AND USEFUL TIPS FOR A CORRECT USE OF YOUR

close to strong magnetic fields.

• When possible, do not place the speaker close to units which generate strong

interference, such as radio and TV sets, monitors, etc.

• Never insert objects or liquids of any kind inside the device, for any reason.

• Clean using a soft brush or an air jet only; never use detergents, solvents or

alcohol.

• When disconnecting cables from sockets, always take hold of them by the

connector and not by the cable itself, and when winding take care to avoid

knots or twisting.

• Do not expose the speaker to direct sunlight.

• Always use good quality screened cables.

• Before making the connections, check that all the speakers you are about to

connect are switched off. You will avoid noisy, if not hazardous, signal peaks.

IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION

• In case of malfunction, contact only an authorised service centre.

Verse speakers are developed from the idea that speech and music satisfy us

when they are intelligible, undistorted and pleasant to listen to.There’s no such

thing as a system suited to one musical genre or another – these are just

illusions caused by our personal taste. A real sound system can follow you

anywhere: whether you’re in a lounge bar accompanying an aperitif, in a

• really precise presence for vocals, with a clear image of the other instruments

• natural, dynamic low frequencies that are not pumped up, but give an

unforgettable physical sensation

• crystal-clear high frequencies that are upfront, but never disturb

• a great natural reaction to equalization, to satisfy users’ personal taste,

thanks to the great reserve of dynamics and the capacity of the new

transducers

TECHNOLOGY

DIGITAL AMPLIFIERS

The new digital technology totally changed the way a professional audio amplifier is

has an average power density of 40% of the maximum level, conventional amplifiers

can easily generate 10 times more heat than VERSE ones for the same volume of

sound.

To grant reliability and durability, VERSE amplifiers are provided with short-circuit

protection, thermal protection with fan-speed control (that avoid temperature rising

over 60° C) and amplifier disactivation system thus preventing amplifier breakdown if

temperature rise to intolerable values.

And also: protection circuit to cancel direct current component, protection from

ultrasonic components in input and output. The I.T.P (Intelligent Thermal Protect) is

warranty of perfect-working and long-lasting speakers.

and dynamic bass, high acoustic pressure and mild weights.

The horns, spheric waveguide type, are asymmetrical and can be turned to have a

controlled dispersion cone of 50° in a direction and 100° in the opposite one. This

feature let every speaker to be used as a satellite in a system or a monitor speaker.

The drivers are made with neodynium magnets and are provided wiht aluminium coil

winding that increase the efficiency in the high frequency range, extend the

frequency response, achieve a better factor of acceleration and a higher reliability.

DIGITAL PROCESSING

The processing system included in every D:SIDER loudspeaker is based on a

performing DSP processor with PC-based remote control using dedicated software.

and immediately suppressing it, without any phase distortion.

The processing unit includes as well a multi-band compressor, a delay line, six full

parametric equalizers and a dynamic loudness controller. The digital delay line

makes it possible to compensate for vertical alignment differences between

subwoofer and satellites or to create distributed lines of speakers whose output

reaches the listening point simoultaneously, eliminating echo effects.

The multicomp processor and the Dynamic Loudness section can be extremely

useful for the system's dynamic EQ. While the Dynamic Loudness try to adapt the

output level according to the well known "Fletcher&Munson" curves, in order to keep

the original sound richness also at low level signals, the Multicomp offers a more

available. This allows to connect to the speakers, editing equalizers and parameters,

but also displaying levels, and checking the status and "health" of every single

loudspeaker connected to this network, showing real time temperature, signal

overloads, limiter activities and other status information of the D:SIDER.

The VERSE flying kit sold for D:SIDER speakers includes:

- 2x flying bar

- 4x doubles stud&ring

- 16x screws

- 1x eyebolt

- 1x hex key

Note: metal chains are not included in the kit.

The content of the flying kit is shown in the picture below.

4. The studs can be slided upwards and downwards into the flying bar in order to

fit to the needs, by pulling the head of the studs.

Repeat the procedure for the other side of the speaker.

Warning: store the screws from the metal palette in a safe place, for further uses,

right after unscrewing them, in order not to lose them.

Note: for security reasons, the use of eyebolts is recommended. An eyebolt

system and its components in any particular circumstance or venue conforms to all

applicable laws and regulations in force at the time.
