Tannoy VXP8 1,600 Watt 8" Dual Concentric Powered Sound Reinforcement Loudspeaker / LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA Class-D Amplification (White)
VXP 8-WH

The VXP 8-WH may be one of the smaller Dual Concentric full range loudspeakers in the VXP range, but it boasts an exceptional performance-to-size ratio – plus includes LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA Class-D amplification. VXP 8-WH provides a compact, yet punchy and sonically articulate solution for small-scale performance sound reinforcement, as well as more demanding background music and high-intelligibility speech applications where clarity and natural vocal reproduction are paramount. Thanks to its twin driver design and flexible mounting options, the VXP 8-WH is also ideally suited for use complimenting much larger systems, making it an excellent choice for both installed and portable applications.

Class-D – Massive Power, Perfect Sound

Equipped with a very efficient and lightweight LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA electronics Class-D power amplifier, the VXP 8-WH provides an impressive 1,600 Watts of output power in a highly portable and lightweight package. Class-D amplification makes all the difference, offering the ultimate in energy efficiency and eliminating the need for heavy power supplies and large heat sinks.

Dual Concentric Driver

The 1,600-Watt 200 mm (8") version of TANNOY’s VXP Series point source loudspeakers, VXP 8-WH’s constant directivity Dual Concentric drive unit technology ensures high power output with high sensitivity and exceptional efficiency. VXP 8-WH delivers precise 90º dispersion for optimum coverage, exceptional forward gain plus the added benefit of improved low-mid extension from the twin driver configuration.

Performance Applications

VXP 8-WH’s trapezoidal enclosure design provides a multitude of placement options including: small scale FOH, floor monitor, delay and stage front fill deployment, and more. A blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting is provided for placement atop a subwoofer in small-scale portable PA applications. An extensive range of optional VXP 8-WH high performance steel mounting hardware (available separately) includes a horizontal yoke bracket, an Omnimount * for wall and ceiling installation, and items to facilitate pole-mounting. All hardware has been tested and certified for a greater than 5:1 safety ratio – giving installers complete peace of mind.

Construction

Finished in a hard wearing semi matt white paint, the vented and internally braced cabinet is constructed from 15 mm (5/8") birch plywood – and includes a rugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille. The rear panel connector plate carries a switch for selecting between full range (FR) or high pass filter (HPF) operation, and fully balanced input and link output on Neutrik * XLR connectors for input and link connections to additional powered enclosures. A secure locking Neutrik powerCON * connector delivers mains power to the electronics, with a selection switch for either manual (MAN) or auto (AUTO) operation. VXP 8-WH loudspeakers are optimized for use LAKE LM Series controllers, and a full range of DSP settings to suit many configurations is available for free download at tannoy.com.
