POWERVS15 BP
Product Description
The high power POWERVS15 BP is a compact, versatile and extremely efficient bandpass
subwoofer system, designed to extend the low frequency response of Tannoy POWERV
loudspeakers and increase system headroom. Extending the frequency response of these
systems to below 40Hz this highly efficient design is capable of providing output levels
normally associated with considerably larger enclosures.
The POWERVS15 BP consists of one high efficiency 380mm (15.00”) with a 76mm (3.00”)
voice coil drive unit mounted in a compact and sturdy, black or white painted cabinet
constructed from 15mm (0.62”) multi-ply birch hardwood; robust enough to survive the
punishment that speakers systems are subjected to on the road and in club installations.
Delivering impressive levels of accuracy and performance, the POWERVS15 BP is equipped
with a highly efficient, flexible and reliable Class D power amplifier incorporating
a switching power supply. The amplifier section and power supply were developed
simultaneously and therefore optimally matched to minimise noise and enhance stability.
The power module combines light, efficient and cool-running amplification, comprehensive
driver protection and equalisation into a single compact unit. Clean, undistorted sound is
delivered, even when driven at very high power levels. No cooling fans are required so the
system runs quietly and is not prone to internal dust contamination.
All signal processing functions have been precisely tailored; crossover frequencies and
slopes, EQ, phase corrections and limiting. LED’s on the rear panel indicate signal
presence, signal activity, and power. Signal input and audio link are via XLR, while the
mains connector is a Neutrik locking Powercon type. The full range POWERV models have
a high pass mode that enables a simple top box and subwoofer combination to be created
without the need for an external crossover. Two low pass setting options on the subwoofer
amplifier fully optimise integration with the full range units.
Available in black or white, this versatile powered subwoofer also has, due to effective
acoustic matching to the other POWERV models, a wide range of uses in fully integrated
installations as diverse as theme bars, performing arts centres, high quality public address,
theme parks, leisure venues, audio visual, houses of worship and ‘dry hire’ rental.
The POWERVS15 BP comes complete with recessed carrying handles for ease of
transportation and 10mm flying points provide a quick and secure flying. A blanking plate
covers a recess for the optional VTH pole mount.
