Overview
VX 12HP-WH
The VX 12HP-WH is built around a single 300 mm (12") PowerDual driver mounted within a compact, rugged plywood cabinet, and renowned for its exceptional performance and versatility. The latest high powerhandling version of TANNOY’s exclusive point source, constant directivity PowerDual technology ensures high power output with high sensitivity and exceptional efficiency. The point source driver technology allows this unique configuration to deliver exceptionally smooth beam-width characteristics resulting in an even coverage pattern aiding predictable system design. Symmetrical dispersion characteristics enhance speaker placement flexibility, allowing vertical or horizontal mounting of single or multi-cabinet arrays without any compromise in sound quality. The VX 12HP-WH is also ideally suited for use complimenting much larger systems, making it an excellent choice for both installed and portable applications.
The VX 12HP-WH can also be configured for bi-amp operation.
PowerDual Driver
The 1,400-Watt 305 mm (12") version of TANNOY’s VX Series exclusive point source loudspeakers, VX 12HP-WH’s PowerDual driver ensures high power output with high sensitivity and exceptional efficiency. VX 12HP-WH delivers precise 75º dispersion for optimum coverage, exceptional forward gain plus the added benefit of improved low-mid extension from the twin driver configuration.
Performance Applications
VX 12HP-WH’s trapezoidal enclosure design provides a multitude of placement options including: installed performance sound reinforcement, FOH, floor monitor, high SPL delay, and more. A blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting is provided for placement atop a subwoofer in portable PA applications. Mounting options include horizontal and vertical mounting yokes (available separately), and 8 M10 Flying inserts. All hardware has been tested and certified for a greater than 5:1 safety ratio – giving installers complete peace of mind.
Construction
Finished in a hard wearing semi matt white paint, the vented and internally braced cabinet is constructed from a combination of 15 mm (⅝") and 18 mm (¾") plywood – and includes a rugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille. Integrip handles ergonomically integrated into the top and bottom of cabinet make for easy transport. The rear panel connector plate carries Neutrik speakON NL4 and barrier strip connectors for input and link connections to additional enclosures. VX 12HP-WH loudspeakers are optimized for use with LAB GRUPPEN amplifiers, or LAKE LM Series controllers. A full range of DSP settings to suit many configurations are provided for free download at tannoy.com.
