VX 12Q // issue 1.00 // 10.06.11

Product Description

Conceived, engineered and built with precision in the United Kingdom, VX Series  

represents the latest evolution of Tannoy’s core philosophies in professional loudspeaker 

design. VX 12Q is a new class of device that adds more versatility and performance  

capabilities. It provides a higher impact solution for medium scale sound reinforcement 

for high-SPL applications such as bars and clubs as well as being well suited for  

portable PA applications. 

The VX 12Q is built around a brand new 300 mm (12”) PowerDual™ driver featuring a 

Q-Centric Waveguide™ (QCW), mounted within a rugged birch plywood cabinet with 

aesthetically profiled edges and airnet-backed, powder-coated steel grille. The latest 

higher power handling 300 mm (12”) version of Tannoy’s exclusive point source, 

constant directivity PowerDual drive unit technology, coupled with the QCW device, 

brings best of both worlds – true point source acoustical performance combined with 

more tightly controlled 75 x 40 degree dispersion, resulting in less unwanted shading 

effects and optimized forward gain. The driver assembly can be rotated 90 degrees in 

the cabinet to allow for versatile mounting without compromise to coverage.

Audio connection is via flush-mounted, recessed termination panel with both NL4 

speakON and connector strip while an extensive range of high performance steel 

mounting hardware is available, custom designed for VX 12Q and manufactured by 

K&M. This includes a yoke bracket and omni-mount for wall and ceiling location as 

well as eyebolt location points and a VTH top-hat for pole-mounting. Ergonomic 

Integrip™ recessed handle makes one and two-handed lift of the cabinet easier than 

ever for optimum portability.

The VX 12Q is available in black or white textured paint finish as standard, with matching 

grilles, and is also available in custom matched RAL colours as an option. A weather 

proof specification (WP) is also available as an option. Thus includes LINE-X™ cabinet 

outer-coating, internal prism sealing and treated transducers with perforated Grade 

316 Stainless Steel grilles. All steel hardware is upgraded to Grade 304 SS, while all 

connector panel points are protected by a cover plate and weather-proof cable gland. 

Additional lead time applies to all non-standard specifications.
