VTX A12

Dual 12-Zoll-Zeilenarray-Lautsprecher | 90-Grad-Abstrahlcharakteristik

VTX A12

Line-Array-Lautsprecher der nächsten Generation mit zwei 12"-Chassis

Das JBL VTX A12 ist eine komplette Toursound-Lösung für mittlere bis große Touring-Anwendungen und hochwertige Festinstallationen. Das VTX A12 wurde von Grund auf neu entwickelt, um die besonderen Anforderungen von Verleihunternehmen, FOH-Ingenieuren und Toursound-Produktionsteams zu erfüllen. Die JBL Wandlertechnologie der nächsten Generation und ein Hochfrequenz-Waveguide-Design bieten unvergleichliche Leistung, Empfindlichkeit und Abdeckung. Ein patentierter JBL Rigging-Mechanismus und ein neu entwickeltes Aufhängungssystem vereinfachen Transport und Aufbau. Verbesserungen des physischen Designs maximieren Zuverlässigkeit und Vielseitigkeit, während gleichzeitig die Größe minimiert und das Gewicht drastisch reduziert wird. Das VTX A12 ist nicht nur ein überlegenes Line-Array – es ist ein völlig neuer Ansatz für Toursound.

Tests

"I just finished mixing the show, on the VTX A12. Killer set, everything sounded amazing and I feel like the crowd loved it." 
—Reiley Brinser (FOH Engineer Ozomatli)

"Let’s be honest.  JBL is #1 on my list of preferred PA’s and I prefer a loudspeaker that is honest to my mix and the band.  I never run out of headroom, punch or clarity with JBL." 
—Chris "Cookie" Hoff (FOH for Styx)

"Using the VTX A-12 at summer fest was a lot of fun its sounded great. Nick did a fantastic job tuning the pa for the venue. I tuned REO into the pa in about 2 minutes, really had a good time." 
—Joe Walsh (FOH REO Speedwagon)

"Mixing in the box is only as good as the speaker at the end of the chain. The JBL VTX-A system I encountered at Summerfest created a beautiful experience. The sound matched the excitement in the air while the deep bass response surrounded and kept us all grounded." 
—Timothy Burkhead (FOH Engineer Leon Bridges)

"The VTX A12 has the clarity and plenty of volume that I needed.  Also, the new B28 Subs had enough low end to shake the crowd.  It is a very balanced rig that you can run hard. JBL has never let me down."
—Matthew Stevens (FOH Engineer Better Than Ezra)

"As I pulled up in the bus to Summerfest, I saw our stage. Even from afar, I saw the distinct shape of the JBL A12 and I knew It was going to be a good day. The power, signature, and coverage was excellent. "
— Ken "Pooch" Van Druten (FOH Engineer)
