Thank you

Thank you for purchasing one of our EUROLIVE VP series 
loudspeakers. These loudspeakers offer powerful, pristine sound 
reinforcement in a lightweight, portable package. Furthermore, 
they can act as pieces to an expandable sound system, with both 
¼" TS and professional locking-style inputs and outputs, pole 
mounting sockets and recessed handles. Heavy duty low-frequency 
drivers deliver thumping bass and powerful midrange clarity while 
high-frequency compression drivers cut through the mix with 
smooth, shimmering treble. The VP1800S subwoofer matches 
perfectly with the full range counterparts to create an absolutely 
massive sound. We’re certain these versatile loudspeakers will bring 
you years of faithful sound reinforcement and ensure that your 
music is heard the way it should be!
