JBL VRX932LAP 2-Way Active Line Array Speaker
The JBL VRX932LAP Active Line Array consists of a 2-way system intended for small venues. JBL builds the VRX932LAP to the same high standards as their VerTec series. The JBL VRX932LAP Constant Curvature Line Array is designed and built using the same advanced, concert-proven drivers as the VerTecs. It delivers extraordinary power handling, clarity, flexibility and, of course, stunning JBL sound in an attractive, easy-to-handle and affordable package. The JBL VRX932LAP is a perfect fit for medium-sized venues that dont want to sacrifice sound quality just because theyre not as big as other professional facilities. For compact power, its the JBL VRX932LAP.The VRX932LAP is a lightweight (52 lb.) compact, 12", 2-way powered speaker system, designed for use in arrays of up to 6 units. It is the ideal choice when line-array performance is needed, but the venue size doesnt call for the very long-throw characteristics of larger line-arrays (such as JBLs VerTec). The Constant Curvature waveguide mounts two compression drivers on a continuous arc. When additional VRX932LAP speakers are added to the array, the uninterrupted arc continues. In effect, all the drivers work together as if they were a single driver on a very long waveguide.Since there are three HF drivers in each VRX932LA, the combined power handling and acoustic output of the system is far greater than a single driver could achieve. It uses "amplitude shading" to shape the coverage of the array. Switches on the input plate allow, for example, the upper box in an array to reach the distant rear of a room, while the lower box is shaded back to reduce excessive level at the front of the listening area.One or two VRX932LAPs may also be used on a tripod or over the VRX915S subwoofer. The integral rigging hardware is used to securely lock the array together. You can use up to six of these speaker systems, and they may be suspended in a single array, for a nominal vertical coverage of up to 90 degrees. Suspended applications require the JBL VRX932LAP-SMAF array frame (available separately). For applications in which the array must be aimed sharply down, a second Array Frame may be installed to the bottom of the array serving as a pull-back.
