The Tannoy VS 15DR satisfies a specific requirement for applications where an installed VQ Series system needs to deliver more low-frequency response than is possible with simply the 2 x 12" LF element of a full range VQ Series enclosure on its own, or by using VQ MB devices within a modular system.

Description

The VS 15DR satisfies a specific requirement for applications where an installed VQ Series system needs to deliver more low-frequency response than is possible with simply the 2 x 12" LF element of a full range VQ Series enclosure on its own, or by using VQ MB devices within a modular system. Examples of such applications would be nightclub dancefloors, corporate AV applications, performance art theatres or auditoria where the clarity and headroom of a VQ system may be desired without needing to be driven to such an extent that large-scale subwoofers would be required.

A single direct radiating 15" low-frequency transducer offers high power handling capability and extended low-frequency response (down to 50Hz) from this given form factor. With high efficiency (100dB 1W@1m) and with a sustained output of 130dB, the VS 15DR shares the same modular enclosure format as the other VQ Series modules including the VQ MH, allowing the systems designer to create tightly packed arrays or clusters including the use of multiple bass devices for improved vertical pattern control at low frequencies.

An appropriately configured external processor, such as the SC1 can extend LF response and safeguard against cone excursion damage while integrating the subwoofer with VQ systems.

The VS 15DR is part of an expanding line up of VQ Series products, addressing the requirement for compact dimensions without compromising performance in any way.

Applications

  • Theaters
  • Auditoriums
  • School Assembly Halls
  • Sports Arenas / Stadiums
  • Large Corporate AV

Features

  • Designed to extend the low frequency response of VQ full range systems
  • Alleviates the need for large format ground-stacked subwoofer enclosures in many instances
  • Modular enclosure for integration with other VQ Series devices to form compact full-range systems or larger scale flown arrays
  • High sensitivity, therefore high SPL’s can be achieved with a modest amount of amplifier power
