TANNOY VX Net™ 15Q ลำโพง Active, DSP-enabled speakers
The VXNET 15Q is a complete installation solution that combines the extraordinary sonic advantages of Tannoy’s PowerDual™ true point-source driver in the same cabinet with integrated digital signal processing, Class D amplifier technologies and robust network control. Together with other models in the VXNET Series, the VXNET 15Q affords unprecedented flexibility and scalability across the full range of installed sound applications.
The VXNET 15Q is built around a single 380 mm (15”) PowerDual driver mounted in a compact, rugged birch plywood cabinet. As the latest high power-handling version of Tannoy’s famed Dual Concentric™ technology, PowerDual ensures high power output with exceptional efficiency. By coupling PowerDual with the new Q-Centric Waveguide™, VXNET 15Q offers true point source performance combined with highly controlled 75 x 40 degree dispersion for less unwanted shading effects and optimized forward gain. The driver assembly can be rotated 90 degrees to allow versatile mounting options.
For greater ease in system configuration, as well as precise performance optimisation, all VXNET models incorporate a VNET™ amplifier, DSP and network control module. The integrated VNET concept encompasses intuitive setup software, integrated processing, tuning control, remote performance diagnostics and system protection for a solution that’s easy to install and commission.
To enable quick network set-up, VNET modules are interconnected using rugged Neutrik etherCON™ connectors which are compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and Cat-5 type cable. Each VXNET loudspeaker has a unique address for auto-location on the network, and the VNET network supports free topology so VXNET loudspeakers can be arranged in daisy-chain or star configurations, or a combination of both. System commissioning and venue network control – including real-time diagnostics of the drive unit – are managed by the VNET Windows-based software program. Using a standard LAN-to-serial bridge, wireless network control is accommodated via a WiFi-enabled laptop computer.
The VXNET 15Q cabinet, featuring aesthetically profiled edges and an Airnet™-backed and powder-coated steel grille, is available in standard black or white textured finishes with custom-matched RAL colours as an option. The extensive range of mounting hardware options includes eyebolt location points, a yoke bracket for wall or ceiling location, and a VTH top-hat for pole mounting. For absolute security and installers’ peace of mind, all hardware has been tested and certified to guarantee greater than 5:1 safety ratio.
