5 - VTX A12 INTRODUCTION
JBL VTX A12 is a complete tour sound solution for mid- to large-size touring applications and high-end fixed installations. A solution
designed from scratch to address the unique challenges of rental companies, FOH engineers and tour sound production crews.
Next-generation JBL transducer technology and high frequency waveguide design deliver unmatched performance, sensitivity and
coverage. A unique patented JBL rigging mechanism and redesigned suspension system streamline deployment and setup. And,
refinements to the physical design maximize reliability and versatility, while minimizing size and dramatically reducing weight. VTX
A12 isn’t just a superior line array—it’s a completely new way to approach tour sound.
Fast Rigging
Quicker deployment with redesigned suspension system and pat-
ented internal locking mechanism for 1/4-degree increments set-
tings.
Next-generation JBL Loudspeaker Technology
Completely rebuilt acoustic components for best-in-class SPL out-
put and 90-degree directivity down to 250 Hz.
New JBL Transducers
All-new high, mid and low frequency designs and components pro-
vide better tolerances, reduce distortion, and increased power
handling.
Complete set of Accessories
Purpose built, lightweight accessories including a redesigned array
frame, vertical transporter cart, and ground stacking kit.
KEY MESSAGES
PERFORMANCE
JBL Professional is the world’s leading manufacturer of loudspeaker
systems, using custom designed and built transducers for optimal
performance.
VTX A12’s new
high-frequency
(HF) section features three unique-
ly designed drivers that combine the HF phasing-plug and waveguide
into one part, which helps directivity control and increased sensitivity
above 6 kHz, while reducing distortion and overall weight.
Its
all-new patented JBL Radiation Boundary Integrator
combines
four 5.5” mid-frequency drivers into the high frequency waveguide—
providing a smooth horn surface for the high frequency section and
improving horizontal directivity.
A lightweight 12” low frequency woofer (LF) features a 4th generation
Differential Drive design, a
new dual-voice coil, dual-magnet arrange-
ment
for increased linear excursion, power handling and sensitivity.
INNOVATIVE RIGGING
VTX A12 marks a giant leap forward in how the loudspeakers
are rigged and transported. To facilitate quicker deployment, ar-
ray elements are stacked four per vertical transporter cart in a
10-degree collapsed position. A patented internal locking mech-
anism makes it easy to set arrays at high-resolution increments
using selector pins while still on the ground.
EFFICIENT TRANSPORT
The completely redesigned VTX A12 array frame is the lightest
in its class. At 89 lbs. (39 kg) the lightweight frame allows the
system to be deployed in a variety of use cases and venues.
The transport cart and other accessories were purposefully
engineered to meet both U.S. and European truck pack dimen-
sions to help production companies transport the system more
effectively.
