JBL V R X 9 1 5 S - Manual (Page 3)

Pole Mount
To create a small, compact non-flying system, the VRX may be mounted on a tripod. For
greater power and low-frequency extension, one or two VRXs may be pole-mounted over
their companion subwoofer, such as JBL’s SRX718S, VRX918S, or VRX915S.
Configurations
Suspension and Rigging
Ease of set up and takedown is critical to ensuring high quality sound reinforcement that meets both time and cost
restrictions. JBL’s exclusive integral rigging hardware for the VRX900's allows the enclosures to be quickly and
securely locked to one another by simply swinging a hinged bar into place and securing it with the included quick
release pins. The optional VRX-AF or VRX-SMAF array frame attaches to the rigging hardware of each enclosure
providing an easy to use, elegant suspension system for flown arrays. A second array frame may be installed at
the bottom of an array for applications where the system must be aimed down sharply.
Construction
VRX900 Series enclosures are constructed with premium quality birch plywood. Coated in JBL's rugged
DuraFlex™ finish and heavily braced the systems are extremely durable, not to mention rigid and
resonance free. The heavy duty steel grilles are internally lined with acoustically transparent foam to
provide additional driver protection.
Differential Drive
®
Woofers
Sound reinforcement professionals constantly ask for more power but less weight so JBL designed the VRX’s
drivers with much less weight than comparable drivers and yet significantly increased its power handling and
output. Super lightweight neodymium magnets positioned inside the voice coil of each driver, a key feature of JBL’s
patented Differential Drive woofer design, reduce the massive steel top plates, back plates and pole pieces found
in the 'magnetic circuits' of conventional loudspeakers. The VRX’s dual voice coil design delivers greater power
handling while maximizing the performance of each driver. An integrated heat sink ensures excellent heat
dissipation and consistent, reliable performance. Overall, the VRX weighs less, has more power capacity, lowered
istortion and lower power compression than any comparable system.
Dual Angle Pole Socket
JBL’s dual angle pole sockets allow great flexibility in aiming the enclosure. By selecting the socket that best
directs the sound towards the listeners, unwanted acoustic reflections are reduced and overall system
performance is improved.
Ground Stack
For reaching bleacher and stadium seating from ground level, the
VRX’s ingenious cabinet design allows it to be ground stacked in
configurations of up to 4 enclosures delivering all of the power,
clarity and control of a full flown line array system without the
additional labor and expense.
Fly your VRX900 Array
VRX900 line arrays and subwoofers may be suspended using the
VRX-AF and VRX-SMAF array frame. For fixed installations, 10mm forged eyebolts
may also be used. See the VRX900 User Guide for details.
Single Cabinet
When configured for smaller venues, or musicians working alone, the
compact size, portability, light weight and stunning performance of the
VRX allow it to be used as a single cabinet two-way utility speaker system
that can be conveniently mounted on a tripod.
