JBL VRX932LAP - 1750W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Line Array Loudspeaker with 100 x 15-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The JBL Professional VRX932LAP is a compact, powered, 12-inch two-way line array loudspeaker designed to deliver outstanding performance in a variety of mid-sized venues. Weighing just 57 lbs (26 kg), the VRX932LAP is equipped with JBL's innovative DrivePack DPC-2 amplifier module, offering 1750 watts of peak power to drive the system's high-performance components. Ideal for applications where large line arrays are unnecessary, the VRX932LAP is perfect for events that require superior sound quality with fast and easy setup. It delivers exceptional clarity, coverage, and output while maintaining a compact form factor, making it a versatile choice for live sound reinforcement in venues like theaters, auditoriums, and houses of worship.

Designed with JBL's renowned Differential Drive technology, the VRX932LAP features a 12-inch woofer with a dual voice coil and a neodymium magnet, ensuring high power capacity while keeping the speaker lightweight. The speaker's high-frequency section is driven by three JBL 2408H Annular Ring Diaphragm compression drivers, delivering clear and detailed treble. These drivers are mounted on JBL's proprietary Constant Curvature waveguide, which creates a seamless, uninterrupted arc. This unique design allows for improved array coherence and ensures that all drivers work together as a single entity, even as more units are added to the array. The result is a more consistent sound field, ensuring that both front and rear sections of the venue receive clear audio.

The VRX932LAP also utilizes JBL's "amplitude shading" technology to optimize sound distribution across the venue. This feature allows the user to adjust the array's coverage, providing enhanced sound at distant areas of the venue while reducing excess levels at the front. This reduces the risk of feedback and ensures a more balanced listening experience across the entire space. The speaker is capable of producing a maximum peak output of 136 dB SPL, with a frequency range from 57 Hz to 20 kHz and a nominal coverage of 100° x 15° (horizontal x vertical).

For ease of installation, the VRX932LAP comes with integral rigging hardware for simple connection to the optional VRX-AF array frame, allowing up to five speakers to be suspended together to achieve vertical coverage of up to 75°. The system's flexible mounting options include dual-angle pole mounts, making it easy to set up on tripods or poles for portable applications. Additionally, the built-in signal processing, including DSP-based limiters for mechanical and thermal protection, ensures that the system operates within safe parameters, even during high-demand use.

For added convenience, the VRX932LAP includes user controls such as an input attenuator and a high-frequency level adjustment to customize the sound to the venue's specific requirements. The system also features an array configuration selector, allowing for passive or bi-amp operation. In bi-amp mode, the low-frequency driver can handle up to 750 watts, while the high-frequency drivers are powered by 125 watts. The Neutrik PowerCon connectors provide reliable power input, with options for loop-through connections for easy daisy-chaining in larger setups.

The enclosure is built from durable 25 mm birch plywood and coated in JBL's rugged black DuraFlex finish, ensuring longevity and resistance to wear in demanding environments. The grille is made of 16-gauge perforated steel with acoustically transparent foam backing, offering protection to the drivers without compromising sound quality. The system also features a rear-mounted power input, designed for easy access and secure connection to the amplifier and power source.
