Overview
VX 5.2-WH
Although the VX 5.2-WH is the smallest Dual Concentric full range loudspeaker in the VX range, it boasts an exceptional performance-to-size ratio. VX 5.2-WH provides a compact, yet punchy and sonically articulate solution for small-scale performance sound reinforcement, as well as more demanding background music and high-intelligibility speech applications where clarity and natural vocal reproduction are paramount. Thanks to its twin driver design and flexible mounting options, the VX 5.2-WH is also ideally suited for use complimenting much larger systems, making it an excellent choice for both installed and portable applications.
Dual Concentric Driver
The 520-Watt 125 mm (5") version of TANNOY’s VX Series point source loudspeakers, VX 5.2-WH’s constant directivity Dual Concentric drive unit technology ensures high power output with high sensitivity and exceptional efficiency. VX 5.2-WH delivers a well defined 120 degree horizontal by 90 degree vertical dispersion for optimum coverage, exceptional forward gain plus the added benefit of improved low-mid extension from the twin driver configuration. An additional 125 mm (5") low frequency driver is employed to provide extended bass response.
Performance Applications
VX 5.2-WH’s trapezoidal enclosure design provides a multitude of placement options including: small scale FOH, floor monitor, delay and stage front fill deployment, and more. M6 inserts for an external pole mount socket are provided for placement atop a subwoofer in small-scale portable PA applications. An extensive range of optional VX 5.2-WH high performance steel mounting hardware (available separately) includes a horizontal yoke bracket, and Omnimount spaced inserts for wall and ceiling installation, and items to facilitate pole-mounting. 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 12 mm (½") plywood – and includes a rugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille. The rear panel connector plate carries Neutrik speakON NL4 and barrier strip connectors for input and link connections to additional enclosures. VX 5.2-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.
