The JBL VLA301 offers 30° of horizontal coverage, the vertical coverage will vary with the array size and configurations.
Variable Line Array Series (VLA Series) is a revolutionary product providing high-impact sound reinforcement at throw distances beyond the reach of traditional loudspeaker designs. The modular design concept provides the system designer the ability to build large line array systems for larger venue applications or to design smaller line array systems for use as distributed clusters in arenas, domed stadiums and larger performance spaces, including large housesof- worship. VLA is designed specifically for permanent installation applications where even coverage, intelligibility, and levels capable of overcoming crowd noise are required.
VLA modules are based on the same advanced engineering used in the highly successful VERTEC® Series line array systems. VLA goes one step further than VERTEC by providing six large format horn-loaded modules with three horizontal horn coverage patterns (30°, 60°, & 90°). This modular concept provides the designer the additional flexibility to vary the horizontal pattern within a vertical array by incorporating different modules with wider or narrower coverage patterns while still maintaining the vertical directivity.
