The Tannoy VSX 10BP is a compact and powerful 10-inch passive band pass subwoofer, designed to provide exceptional low-frequency reproduction in both fixed and portable sound reinforcement applications. With a power handling capability of 800 Watts peak and 200 Watts continuous, the VSX 10BP is ideally suited for a wide range of environments, including clubs, bars, theatres, and AV applications, where deep, impactful bass is required. This subwoofer is specifically engineered for applications where a combination of low distortion and efficient bass output is critical, making it the perfect choice for high-performance audio systems.
At the heart of the VSX 10BP is a high-quality 10-inch low-frequency driver that delivers extended bass response well below 40 Hz. The subwoofer's dual ported band pass design increases the acoustic load presented to the driver, optimizing bass output within a specific frequency range. This design ensures that the VSX 10BP generates fast, tight, and accurate transient responses with virtually no distortion, making it an excellent choice for applications that require punchy, chest-thumping bass. Additionally, the band pass enclosure's low distortion performance enhances the clarity of bass-heavy musical instrument frequencies, making it an ideal complement to full-range loudspeakers in a sound system.
The VSX 10BP's frequency response spans from 42 Hz to 110 Hz (+3 dB), with the ability to extend down to 36 Hz (-10 dB), ensuring deep bass reproduction that can easily fill large spaces. With a maximum SPL of 116 dB continuous and 122 dB peak, the VSX 10BP produces high sound pressure levels, making it suitable for both background music playback and demanding live sound environments. To optimize system integration, the recommended low pass crossover range for the VSX 10BP is between 80 Hz and 110 Hz, with a 24 dB/Oct slope, ensuring smooth acoustic transitions when paired with full-range loudspeakers.
The subwoofer's rugged construction includes an internally braced plywood enclosure, which provides durability and minimizes resonance, while the powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille offers additional protection for the driver. The cabinet is finished with a hard-wearing semi-matte black paint, ensuring it blends seamlessly into a wide variety of environments. For ease of deployment, the VSX 10BP is equipped with integral M10 rigging points and a blanking plate for an optional VTH pole mount, allowing for easy integration into permanent installations. Additionally, the subwoofer features ergonomically integrated Integrip handles on the rear for convenient transport, making it well-suited for portable and touring applications.
The rear panel of the VSX 10BP features Neutrik speakON NL4 connectors and a barrier strip for input and link output connections, making it easy to link additional subwoofers or satellite full-range loudspeakers in a system. Whether you're building a compact system for a nightclub or an extensive setup for a large venue, the VSX 10BP is designed for easy integration and flexible deployment.
