Product Description
The VQ 100 is a full range, three-way loudspeaker system designed for applications
which require high output capability with class leading pattern control. The VQ 100
features a wide and exceptionally well defined dispersion characteristic.
For a variety of uses, a single VQ 100 can produce more power and clarity over its
100 degree beamwidth area than many arrayed solutions using multiple cabinets, a
great advantage when considering your building aesthetics.
With low frequency extension to 90Hz, the VQ 100 can be combined with various
subwoofers for extended bandwidth.
The VQ 100 can be configured for use in Bi-Amp or Tri-Amp mode, in conjunction with a
suitable digital signal processor (DSP).
Horn design involves balancing compromise…..until now.
Key performance parameters that can be controlled by the designer include:
frequency response (both on and off-axis), horizontal and vertical beamwidth, directivity
index, electrical impedance, harmonic distortion, and low frequency cut-off. Our unique
approach in keeping what is effectively a Dual Concentric™ behind a single horn gives
us many performance advantages. Performance of the VQ 100 in terms of accuracy &
sound quality is second to none.
The VQ 100 incorporates a unique driver technology to radiate a coherent single
point source for superior dispersion control when coupled to a PSW™ (Point Source
Waveguide). This advanced design aligns the acoustical centres of the transducers
providing a single coherent wavefront emanating from the throat. The PSW™
waveguide achieves an optimum balance of extremely well controlled coverage,
smooth frequency response, and natural sound character.
The low frequency section, two (12”) low frequency transducers, offers high power
handling and low power compression for high continuous SPL capability. A newly
designed LF loading design provides the highest possible sensitivity for low/mid
frequency output.
The VQ 100 is part of an expanding line up of VQ products, addressing the requirement
for compact dimensions without compromising performance in any way.
