Vue audiotechnik's e-351 PoE is a “Nano” coaxial speaker, which incorporates Dante-enabled VUEDrive electronics, including 30W of fully optimized bi-amplification that is powered via ethernet form a POE+ (802.3at) switch. Like it’s passive sibling, the e-351 PoE combines an ultra-rigid aluminum enclosure with a revolutionary 3.5-inch coaxial driver that utilizes VUE’s highly-lauded Beryllium HF component to deliver a level of output, fidelity, and efficiency that’s far beyond more conventional compact systems

The es-269V subwoofer brings a full arsenal of VUEDrive electronics inside the cabinet of VUE’s popular es-269 ACM subwoofer. The “V” version offers 2000W of internal amplification, making it the ultimate Dante endpoint for delivering high definition audio at professional levels when combined with VUE’s e-class loudspeakers. The built-in VUEDrive Systems Engine sends 1000W to the internal dual 6x9-inch transducers while providing two 500W output channels, or zones, for adding up to four e-351 or two e-352 passive models. Output channels can also be used to drive a second es-269 passive subwoofer. The es-269V features full network control via SystemVUE software, along with Analog and Dante audio inputs. Acoustically, the es-269V delivers impressive size-to-SPL performance thanks to VUE’s patent-pending Active Compliance Management (ACM) technology. ACM places two high-performance 6x9-inch drivers into a unique arrangement that leverages the benefits of both band-pass and vented alignments.

The es-269 compact ACM subwoofer system redefines small subwoofer capabilities by producing high output exceptionally high-quality sound from a very compact dual driver system.  The es-269 compact ACM subwoofer system redefines small subwoofer capabilities by producing high output exceptionally high-quality sound from a very compact dual driver system. With reference quality flat low-end response from 200 to 45 Hz, the es-269 is capable of output levels of systems typically twice the size. The es-269 apples VUE’s patent-pending ACM -Active Compliance Management- technology from the hm-class subwoofers, to a new compact even “mini” subwoofer breaking the normal size ratio to SPL output standards. ACM technology combines both band-pass and vented alignments into a single enclosure. The s-269 places two high performance, 6×9-inch transducers into this configuration, with both woofers sharing a common vented chamber. One woofer’s frontal radiation is direct, while the second woofer’s frontal radiation drives the band-pass chamber. Using sophisticated DSP the two ACM subsections combine acoustically precisely aligning the phase arrivals of the front facing woofer, the common chamber vent, and output of the bandpass chamber vent. The powerful amplifier sends 200W of pure sine wave power (350W “burst”) with a unique optimized signal to each woofer. The combination of 700 watts of burst power produces over 124 dB peak output in a half space environment (ground stacked). The combination of ACM, precision-engineered transducers, and sophisticated electronics allows the s-269 to deliver much higher output throughout its operating bandwidth from a remarkably small enclosure.

Achieving a better balance of output and musicality starts by focusing on those frequencies that matter most — the critical “sweet spot” between 35 and 80 Hz. After all, a properly designed full-range speaker should be more than capable of operating effectively down to 80 Hz. Most manufacturers design subwoofers that move as much air as possible in order to achieve maximum output. At VUE Audiotechnik, our designers believe that a high-performance subwoofer shouldn’t sacrifice definition in favor of SPL alone.

After all, a properly designed full-range speaker should be more than capable of operating effectively down to 80 Hz.
