Point-source driver technology
At the heart of VX Series is the latest generation of Tannoy’s acclaimed
Dual Concentric driver. The term “Dual Concentric” is dened by Tannoy as a
coincident point source, where the low frequency cone acts as a seamless,
direct extension of the high frequency waveguide, yielding a constant
directivity pattern with linear amplitude and phase response on both the
horizontal and vertical axis. The high-frequency unit is positioned
on the back of the low frequency driver so that they are effectively on the
same axis. With this system the sound energy is propagated from the same
point and delivered through the centre of the low frequency cone – a true
point source. The Dual Concentric delivers a spherical Wave-front that
ensures even dispersion in the horizontal and vertical planes, providing
exceptional off-axis performance.
Discrete loudspeakers have an inherent design aw in that each drive unit
is an acoustic source of its own. While the components are physically
aligned on the vertical axis they cannot remain so except for at one listening
point. The constant directivity characteristic of the Tannoy Dual Concentric
overcomes such time alignment problems and ensure that high sound
pressure levels are delivered effortlessly with outstanding clarity, crystal clear
intelligibility, denition and detail.
VX Series sees the debut of the new 12” and 15” Q models, featuring
Tannoy’s innovative Q-Centric Waveguide (QCW) allowing for more specic
constant directivity pattern control in either axis (can be rotated 90 degrees
as required) to suit specic installation or live situations.
Robust renement, unmatched versatility
VX Series introduces a brand new cabinet design, featuring double-
chamfered edges for aesthetic renement and an innovative new
Integrip handle ergonomically integrated into all but the two smallest
enclosures, making one-hand or two-handed lifting of even the largest
models easy – ideal for portable PA applications. Each cabinet benets
from a range of xed-install and portable mounting points as well as sleek
prole road-ready powder-coated steel grille and ush inset rear panels.
The passive devices benet from both connector strip and NL4 speakON
while, in the case of VXP Series, Lab.gruppen’s new IntelliDrive Energy
Efcient Amplier™ (IDEEA™) module features XLR connectors for input
and link and powerCON mains inlet.
...working together as one
Rock-solid power package
Lab.gruppen ampliers have earned an enviable worldwide reputation
for sonic excellence and rock-solid durability in both touring sound
and demanding high-end installed sound applications. These same
qualities are now available fully integrated into the new VX loudspeaker
line in the form of the self-powered VXP Series. By offering an attractive
combination of operating efciency, high-quality audio and reliability, the
new VXP Series amplier package delivers convincing performance and
cost-saving advantages.
The perfectly matched Lab.gruppen IDEEA power modules are designed
to handle the demands of xed installation audio, with the inherent
extended duty cycles of around-the-clock operation and very high
performance demands, while offering the durability, unmatched power
output and clarity required by portable applications. To ensure a long
and trouble-free service life, IDEEA modules incorporate extensive features
to safeguard internal circuits and driver compliment.
At the heart of the IDEEA module is a patented Class D output stage
capable of sustained high power levels with very low distortion – all with
near 90% efciency. A universal switching power supply accepts any mains
voltage from 70 – 265V (+/- 10%) at 50 Hz or 60 Hz through the appropriate
IEC cord. The power control selector supports two operational modes. In
Auto mode, the speaker turns on with signal present and turns off after
20 minutes of no input. (This complies with international energy saving
standards, minimizing power consumption should the operator forget to turn
off the speaker.) The manual control mode allows the speaker to be turned
on and off as required. Also provided is a switchable 90 Hz high-pass lter
for use when adding a subwoofer.
This precision engineered combination of electronics, transducer and cabinet
acoustics gives system designers and audio technicians the sort of reliable
class-leading performance in a self-powered loudspeaker that others can
only aspire to.
VXP Series
Powered sound reinforcement
Many applications, across both xed installation and portable, are better addressed with a self-powered loudspeaker solution.
Increasingly in some sectors, the powered speaker has become the norm for audio professionals as the simplicity and scalability
of these systems is the big draw, especially in the portable PA and corporate AV markets where ease of setup and operation is
paramount. After all, what could be easier than just connecting the output of your mixer directly to the speaker and turning everything
on? In addition, xed installation is simplied, with no need for space consuming racks of external amplication and outboard
processing. Setup is faster because fewer components need to be connected and commissioned, delivering vital cost efciencies.
Each VXP Series loudspeaker benets from Lab.gruppen’s new IntelliDrive Energy Efcient Amplier module, bringing ultra reliable
and perfectly matched power to the equation for audible superiority in a self-powered box.
