JBL VRX900 Series

JBL's VERTEC® SERIES Line Arrays lead the industry in large venue sound reinforcement. While intended for smaller venues than VerTec, the VRX900 Series Constant Curvature Line Arrays are designed and built to the same high standards and uses the same advanced, concert-proven drivers. JBL's VRX900 SERIES speakers deliver extraordinary power handling, clarity, flexibility and, of course, stunning JBL sound in an attractive, easy to handle and affordable package.

Constant Curvature Array

JBL VRX900The challenge in designing a world-class line array is to create a controlled, coherent coverage pattern regardless of the number of cabinets used in the array. JBL's Constant Curvature Array Design does that and more. The VRX waveguide mounts three compression drivers on a continuous arc enabling them to work together acoustically as if they were a single driver, while dramatically increasing the power handling and acoustic output when compared to a single driver system. Additional enclosures can be added creating an uninterrupted, continuous arc with all of the drivers working together seamlessly as if they were one driver on a very long waveguide. This innovative technology provides unprecedented output coherence and stunning, clear high-frequency sound quality regardless of the configuration.

Amplitude Shading

Covering a venue with a smooth, consistent sound field is key to the success of any professional sound reinforcement project. The VRX accomplishes this with JBL's Array Configuration Selector, a convenient series of switches on each enclosure that controls the output of each high-frequency section in the array. With the VRX's amplitude shading you can set the upper enclosures in an array configuration to deliver more output for reaching a distant balcony while the lower enclosures can be 'shaded back' with less output for the front rows of the venue. Each section of the venue can be fine tuned for a balanced, seamless overall coverage pattern.

VRX900 Line Array

Addressing the growing need for a small format professional sound system, JBL developed the VRX932LA and VRX928LA Constant Curvature Line Arrays for sound rental companies, fixed installations, Musicians and DJ's looking for the ultimate in performance and portability. Featuring the performance of high end line arrays in two compact 8 inch and 12 inch formats. It is affordable, flexible and provides outstanding coverage and coherence. The VRX900 series shares components with the JBL VERTEC(r) Line Array Series, the worldwide touring industry standard. It is perfectly suited for use in smaller venues and small to medium sound reinforcement projects. Delivering extraordinary power handling, clarity and flexibility, the VRX900 Line Array speakers feature the hallmark of all JBL products - Stunning, legendary JBL sound.

VRX900 Subwoofer

For applications requiring the sonic and practical advantages of integrating the subwoofers into the flying array JBL offers the VRX918S and the VRX915S, two compact, high power, suspendable subwoofer systems using 15 inch and 18 inch Differential Drive(r) woofers in front loaded vented enclosures. The VRX918S was designed specifically for use in arrays with the VRX932LA, as the VRX915S complements perfectly the VRX928LA. Both subwoofers are equipped with a topmounted, threaded, M20 socket that can receive the optional SS4-BK adjustable pole.

VRX915M Stage Monitor

The VRX915M is a dedicated, compact and lightweight 15 inch touring-class floor monitor. Its symmetrical designed enclosure enables convenient left-right orientation. With its low stage height and JBL's latest neodymium-magnet transducers, it delivers world class performance in the most demanding applications.

Suspension and Rigging

Ease of set up and takedown is critical to ensuring high quality sound reinforcement that meets both time and cost restrictions. JBL's exclusive integral rigging hardware for the VRX900's allows the enclosures to be quickly and securely locked to one another by simply swinging a hinged bar into place and securing it with the included quick release pins. The optional VRX-AF or VRX-SMAF array frame attaches to the rigging hardware of each enclosure providing an easy to use, elegant suspension system for flown arrays. A second array frame may be installed at the bottom of an array for applications where the system must be aimed down sharply.

Construction

VRX900 Series enclosures are constructed with premium quality birch plywood. Coated in JBL's rugged DuraFlex(tm) finish and heavily braced the systems are extremely durable, not to mention rigid and resonance free. The heavy duty steel grilles are internally lined with acoustically transparent foam to provide additional driver protection.

Differential Drive Woofers

Sound reinforcement professionals constantly ask for more power but less weight so JBL designed the VRX's drivers with much less weight than comparable drivers and yet significantly increased its power handling and output. Super lightweight neodymium magnets positioned inside the voice coil of each driver, a key feature of JBL's patented Differential Drive woofer design, reduce the massive steel top plates, back plates and pole pieces found in the 'magnetic circuits' of conventional loudspeakers. The VRX's dual voice coil design delivers greater power handling while maximizing the performance of each driver. An integrated heat sink ensures excellent heat dissipation and consistent, reliable performance. Overall, the VRX weighs less, has more power capacity, lowered distortion and lower power compression than any comparable system.

Configurations

Fly your VRX900 Array

VRX900 line arrays and subwoofers may be suspended using the VRX-AF and VRX-SMAF array frame. For fixed installations, 10mm forged eyebolts may also be used. See the VRX900 User Guide for details.

Pole Mount

To create a small, compact non-flying system, the VRX may be mounted on a tripod. For greater power and low-frequency extension, one or two VRXs may be pole-mounted over their companion subwoofer, such as JBL's SRX718S, VRX918S, or VRX915S.

Single Cabinet

When configured for smaller venues, or musicians working alone, the compact size, portability, light weight and stunning performance of the VRX allow it to be used as a single cabinet two-way utility speaker system that can be conveniently mounted on a tripod.

Ground Stack

For reaching bleacher and stadium seating from ground level, the VRX's ingenious cabinet design allows it to be ground stacked in configurations of up to 4 enclosures delivering all of the power, clarity and control of a full flown line array system without the additional labor and expense.
