Introduction
The latest addition to Tannoy’s extensive line of column loudspeakers, VLS Series introduces another
proprietary Tannoy innovation: FAST™ (Focussed Asymmetrical Shaping Technology). By combining
transducer technology from the acclaimed QFlex Series with an innovative new passive crossover
design, FAST provides exceptional acoustical benefits, including an asymmetrical vertical dispersion
pattern which gently shapes acoustical coverage toward the lower quadrant of the vertical axis.
The VLS 7 and 15 are EN54 certified for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems.
