Tannoy QFLEX 64-WP - 6400W 16 x 3-inch/32 x 4-inch Powered 2-Way IP54-Rated Column Loudspeaker with 16 x 1-inch HF Drivers and 120-Degree Horizontal Coverage in Black Finish

The Tannoy QFLEX 64-WP is a groundbreaking, powered, digitally steerable column array loudspeaker that offers an advanced solution for challenging acoustical environments. Designed for a wide range of applications such as houses of worship, transportation hubs, convention centers, shopping malls, performing arts centers, museums, and more, the QFLEX 64-WP delivers powerful, clear, and intelligible sound across large spaces. Certified with an IP54 rating, it is highly resistant to water and dust, making it an excellent choice for installations in high-moisture areas such as indoor swimming pools or outdoor applications in moderate weather conditions. This speaker is built to handle demanding environments while delivering premium-grade performance for both speech and music reinforcement.

The QFLEX 64-WP is powered by the proprietary VNET loudspeaker networking platform, which combines advanced hardware and software DSP components. The integration of 64 channels of DSP and amplification allows the speaker to offer exceptional control over sound dispersion, ensuring superior intelligibility and audio quality. The class-leading +70° steering control is one of the key features of the QFLEX 64-WP, providing the ability to direct sound precisely where it is needed. This ensures consistent and even coverage, ideal for applications requiring high speech intelligibility over a broad area.

One of the most advanced technologies integrated into the QFLEX 64-WP is the BeamEngine, which steers the full-range sound away from reflective surfaces, improving audio clarity and reducing unwanted reflections. The intuitive BeamEngine GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows sound engineers to customize the speaker's beam configuration based on the acoustic challenges of the environment. This customizable, asymmetrical pattern design delivers uniform sound pressure levels (SPL) across both the near and far fields, optimizing audio distribution for larger venues. By preventing sound wave interference and ensuring balanced SPL, the QFLEX 64-WP maintains high-quality audio in both small and expansive spaces.

At the core of the QFLEX 64-WP's exceptional performance is its configuration of transducers. The speaker is equipped with 32 x 4" low-frequency drivers, 16 x 3" low-frequency drivers, and 16 x 1" high-frequency drivers. Each of these drivers is individually powered by a 100W Class D amplifier, ensuring each channel operates efficiently. With a high-density array and proportional frequency spacing, the QFLEX 64-WP is designed to provide digitally steerable coverage over long distances - up to 100 meters (328 feet) - without the risk of aliasing artifacts. This means that listeners will experience clear, distortion-free sound over vast areas, even in environments with difficult acoustics.

The QFLEX 64-WP's internal DSP engine works seamlessly with the VNET and BeamEngine software, which are available for free download at Tannoy's website. These tools enable sound professionals to fine-tune the system for optimal performance, whether the speaker is used alone or as part of a larger Tannoy VNET-enabled network. The speaker is designed for flexible integration into existing PA/VA systems and is fully PA/VA compliant, meeting the necessary standards for life safety and mass notification applications.

Constructed with a robust aluminium enclosure and corrosion-resistant perforated grille, the QFLEX 64-WP ensures durability in both indoor and outdoor settings. The speaker's semi-matt white painted finish and sleek design allow it to blend into various environments seamlessly. The QFLEX 64-WP also includes custom mounting hardware, making installation quick and easy. The speaker supports AES3 input and link connections via high-quality RJ-45 connectors, ensuring reliable audio transmission with internal sample rate conversion up to 96 kHz.

This speaker's versatility is further enhanced by its support for both analogue and AES/EBU audio inputs. Additionally, the QFLEX 64-WP supports various accessory options, including the VNET USB Interface, VNET Ethernet Interface, VNET2-Dante Bridge, VNET Interface Power Supply, Sentinel SM1 System Monitor, and the QFLEX Isolator, which eliminates potential ground/hum issues for optimal audio performance.

The QFLEX 64-WP is an ideal solution for installations where high-quality sound reinforcement is required across large, acoustically challenging spaces. Its advanced digital steering capabilities, combined with the robust design and flexible integration options, make it an invaluable tool for modern audio installations.
