Overview
VXP 15HP-WH
The 1,600-Watt VXP 15HP-WH is built around a single 380 mm (15") PowerDual driver mounted within a compact, rugged plywood cabinet, and renowned for its exceptional performance and versatility. The latest high power-handling version of TANNOY’s exclusive point source, VXP 15HP-WH’s constant directivity PowerDual technology and LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA Class-D amplification ensure 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 VXP 15HP-WH is also ideally suited for use complimenting much larger systems, making it an excellent choice for both installed and portable applications.
Class-D – Massive Power, Perfect Sound
Equipped with a very efficient and lightweight LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA Class-D power amplifier, the VXP 15HP-WH provides an impressive 1,600 Watts of output power in a highly portable and lightweight package. Class-D amplification makes all the difference, offering the ultimate in energy efficiency and eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and large heat sinks.
PowerDual Driver
The 1,600-Watt 380 mm (15") version of TANNOY’s VXP Series exclusive point source loudspeakers, VXP 15HP-WH’s PowerDual driver ensures high power output with high sensitivity and exceptional efficiency. VXP 15HP-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
VXP 15HP-WH’s trapezoidal enclosure design provides a multitude of placement options including: FOH, floor monitor, delay and stage front fill deployment, and more. A blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting is provided for placement atop a subwoofer in small-scale portable PA applications. Mounting options include horizontal and vertical mounting yokes (available separately), an Omnimount * 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 18 mm (3/4") birch plywood – and includes a rugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille. The rear panel connector plate carries a switch for selecting between full range (FR) or high pass filter (HPF) operation, and fully balanced input and link output on Neutrik * XLR connectors for input and link connections to additional powered enclosures. A secure locking Neutrik powerCON * connector delivers mains power to the electronics, with a selection switch for either manual (MAN) or auto (AUTO) operation. VXP 15HP-WH loudspeakers are optimized for use LAKE LM Series controllers, and a full range of DSP settings to suit many configurations is available for free download at tannoy.com.
