Overview

VXP 8

The VXP 8 may be one of the smaller Dual Concentric full range loudspeakers in the VXP range, but it boasts an exceptional performance-to-size ratio – plus includes LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA Class-D amplification. VXP 8 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. The VXP 8 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 8 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.

Dual Concentric Driver

The 1,600-Watt 200 mm (8") version of TANNOY’s VXP Series powered point source loudspeakers, VXP 8’s constant directivity Dual Concentric drive unit technology ensures high power output with high sensitivity and exceptional efficiency. VXP 8 delivers precise 90º dispersion for optimum coverage with exceptional forward gain.

Performance Applications

VXP 8’s trapezoidal enclosure design provides a multitude of placement options including: small scale 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. An extensive range of optional high performance steel mounting hardware (available separately) includes a horizontal yoke bracket, and Omnimount * spaced inserts for wall and ceiling installation. 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 black paint, the vented and internally braced cabinet is constructed from 15 mm (5/8") 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.
