The VSX 12.2BP is a compact dual 12" 3,200-Watt passive bandpass subwoofer that is ideally suited for a broad range of speech and music sound reinforcement applications in both fixed, portable, and touring audio systems. VSX 12.2BP’s superb low-frequency reproduction makes it the perfect choice for deployment in clubs, bars, theatres, and AV applications.
Stunning Performance
A dual ported bandpass system, the VSX 12.2BP features twin 12" low-frequency drivers that provide extended low-frequency response to well below 40 Hz – for chest-pounding bass. Fast and accurate transient response enables the VSX 12.2BP Subwoofer to generate copious quantities of tight low-end output that is virtually distortion-free.
bandpass Enclosure Design
bandpass enclosures are extremely efficient, creating maximum bass output within a specific frequency range by increasing the acoustic load presented to the driver. The low distortion bandpass design utilized in the VSX 12.2BP reinforces the bass musical instrument frequencies, and steep cut-off slopes ensure an effective acoustic transition for use with full-range loudspeakers. A typical application could consist of a VSX 12.2BP providing the low-frequency bass extension for one, or two VX Series top cabinets.
Versatility
VSX 12.2BP Subwoofers can be easily deployed in a multitude of configurations, thanks to the integral M10 rigging points and blanking plate for an optional VTH pole mount. For touring and portable applications, the enclosures also feature our Integrip handles, which are ergonomically integrated into the rear of each cabinet.
Construction and Connectivity
Finished with a hard wearing semi-matte black paint, the cabinet is constructed of internally braced plywood and includes a rugged powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille backed with reticulated foam. The rear panel connector plate carries Neutrik speakON NL4 and barrier strip connectors for input and link connections to accommodate additional subwoofer or satellite full range loudspeakers.
