Key Features:
JBL’s exclusive neodymium magnet
Differential Drive
®
woofer for high-
power capacity and light-weight.
Three neodymium, Annular Ring
Diaphragm drivers for high power
capacity and high-frequency extension.
Constant Curvature waveguide for
unprecedented array coherence.
Dual angle pole socket for aiming flexi-
bility. One or two speakers may be
mounted to a 35 mm pole or tripod
stand.
Integral rigging hardware for simple
connection of enclosures and optional
array frame. Arrays of up to six enclo-
sures may be flown.
Array Configuration Selector permits
“array shading” in passive mode.
Application:
Music playback and sound reinforce-
ment in mid-size venues.
Entertainers, corporate A/V professional
and sound system hire companies.
VRX932LA 12" Two-Way
Line Array Speaker
The VRX932LA is a light-weight
(48 lb / 22 kg) compact 12" two-way
line array speaker system designed for
use in arrays of up to six units.
VRX932LA is the ideal choice when line
array performance is needed but the
venue size doesn't call for the very
long-throw characteristics of larger line
arrays such as JBL's VerTec
®
.
The Constant Curvature waveguide
mounts three compression drivers on a
continuous arc. When additional
VRX932LA speakers are added to the
array the uninterrupted arc continues.
In effect, all the drivers work together
as if they were a single driver on a
very long waveguide. Since there are
three drivers in each VRX932LA, the
combined power handling and acoustic
output of the system is far greater than
a single driver could achieve.
VRX932LA uses “amplitude shading”
to shape the coverage of the array.
Switches on the input plate allow, for
example, the upper box in an array to
reach a distant balcony while the lower
HF section is shaded back to reduce
excessive level at the front of the listen-
ing area.
One or two VRX932LAs may also be
used on a tripod or over subwoofers.
The integral rigging hardware is used
to securely lock the array together
while the dual-angle pole socket pro-
vides aiming flexibility.
As many as six VRX932LA speaker
systems may be suspended in a single
array for a nominal vertical coverage of up to 90°. Suspended applications
require the JBL VRX-AF array frame (available separately). For applications in
which the array must be aimed sharply down, a second array frame may be
installed to the bottom of the array serving as a pull-back.
The VRX932LA was designed with SRX700 series compatibility in mind.
VRX918S subwoofers are the ideal choice for a ground-stacked or flown
VRX932LA system.
The VRX932LA is manufactured and sold under U.S. patents 5,748,760;
6,112,847; 6,394,223 and 6,847,726.
