SPECS

DESCRIPTION

The VTX A8 SB accessory is a lightweight suspension bar that can be used as an array frame or to implement pull-back of a VTX A8

or B18 array. When used for pull-back, the VTX A8 SB can be attached to the bottom cabinet of an array and connected to a rear sus-

pension point to allow for extra down-tilt, otherwise not possible using the VTX A8 AF alone. The VTX A8 SB can also attach to the top

cabinet of an array and be used as a compact array frame. In this mode, the suspension bar connects to the top cabinet’s rear rigging

points and the down-tilt angle is controlled by the number of cabinets and array geometry. JBL’s Line Array Calculator software applica-

tion is used to calculate the down-tilt angle. For dual-point applications and added aiming ﬂexibility, two VTX A8 SB suspension bars can

be used: one at the top and one at the bottom of the array. The VTX A8 SB can support the weight of up to (24) VTX A8 or (16) VTX B18

enclosures (depending on array geometry) and a 5/8-inch shackle (included) can be attached directly to the bar. For more information

about the suspension bar and use cases, refer to the VTX A8 Rigging Manual.

JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods and design reﬁnements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design speciﬁcations unless otherwise stated.
