2.0: INTRODUCTION
The Tannoy VNET12HP & VNET15 loudspeakers utilise high performance Dual Concentric“ drive units — the 12 (300mm)
PowerDual“ and the 15 (380mm) PowerDual“. The substantially increased efficiency and power handling of these all-new
driver designs ensures that the
VNET12HP and VNET15 are capable of delivering high SPL s in even the most demanding
applications. Like all Tannoy Dual Concentric loudspeakers the Tannoy VNET12HP and VNET15 exhibit true constant directivity,
providing an even frequency response over the entire area of coverage. The output capability makes the Tannoy V12HP and
VNET15 loudspeakers suitable for much larger audience sizes or venues requiring very high SPL s, such as nightclubs.
The VNET300 offers the ultimate in sound quality for critical applications such as theatre, acoustic music venues and houses
of worship. For all applications where performance is the focus and the system should be so accurate that it reinforces, but
remains unobtrusive and acoustically transparent to the audience, the
VNET300 is the natural choice. The 12 SuperDual“
ensures the most even frequency response over a wide coverage area in the medium size venues for which the Tannoy V300
is designed.
The asymmetric cabinet profile of the VNet Products allows flexible and discreet installation. As a foreground system, installation
is made simple with a range of Secur-ET mounting hardware, designed specifically for the V series — or the system can be
flown using the integral M10 inserts. For portable stage use the birch ply cabinet has a recessed carrying handle on the rear
of the cabinet and a blanking plate, which can be removed to install an optional pole mount. As a versatile low profile stage
monitor, the conical coverage pattern gives the performer greater freedom of movement than allowed by conventional horn
loaded designs.
The loudspeakers are factory calibrated for optimum individual performance; this way the user does not have to worry about
whether they have input the correct speaker management settings, or have to painstakingly optimise dynamics.They can
concentrate on room measurement and optimisation alone. The product is shipped with our
VNET“ software package to
facilitate easy on-site commissioning of the system. This intuitive Windows interface controls all of the critical install functions,
as well as providing the interface for the ongoing monitoring of critical system status and performance data, all in real-time.
Implementation of the network could not be simpler;
VNET“ will support Free Network Topology , using twisted pair cable &
RJ45 connectors. Each loudspeaker will contain a unique address so no user input will be required to configure the network
nodes. Each loudspeaker in the system can be individually optimized and acoustically profiled, taking into account its exact
position within the venue relative to the room boundary, and its own performance relative to the acoustic properties of the room
itself.
The Tannoy VNET15BP is a compact, versatile subwoofer system, primarily designed to extend the low frequency response
of the V series loudspeakers and increase system headroom. The VNET15BP will extend the frequency response of these
systems to below 40Hz and is capable of providing output levels normally be associated with considerably larger enclosures.
The
VNET15BP comprises one high efficiency 380mm(15 ) drive unit. The cabinet is constructed from multiple-ply hardwood,
which will survive the punishment that speaker systems are subjected to on the road and in club installations. The compact
dimensions of the
VNET15BP enable it to be used in permanent or portable applications without being obtrusive.
The Tannoy VNET15HL is a horn-loaded subwoofer with very high output capability designed to provide maximum low frequency
impact.The tight and punchy sound of the VNET15HL adds depth and dramatic impact for a wide variety of sound reinforcement
applications. This powerful loudspeaker is capable of delivering remarkable sound pressure levels with extremely low levels
of distortion and power compression, while maintaining a uniform frequency response throughout its dynamic range.
The VNET15HL comprises one high efficiency 380mm (15 ) drive unit. The cabinet is constructed from multiple-ply hardwood,

dimensions of the
VNET15HL enable it to be used in permanent or portable applications without being obtrusive.
The Tannoy VNET18DR is a direct radiating subwoofer designed to compliment Tannoy VNET loudspeakers where high
definition sound reinforcement at low/ultra low frequencies with increased headroom is required. The VNET18DR extends
the frequency response of systems to below 30Hz, making it ideal for club, theatre and concert sound applications. This powerful
loudspeaker is capable of delivering high sound pressure levels with extremely low distortion and power compression while
maintaining a uniform frequency response throughout its dynamic range. The
VNET18DR comprises one high efficiency
457mm(18 ) drive unit. The cabinet is constructed from multiple-ply hardwood, which will survive the punishment that speaker
systems are subjected to on the road and in club installations.
VNET subwoofers feature recessed carrying handles and blank plate for a top-mounted stand socket, which serves as a base
for locating the main full range or mid/high speakers in the air. By using 35mm tubing the need for a tripod stand can be
eliminated.
