Tannoy VX 12 - 800W 12-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The Tannoy VX 12 is a powerful and compact 800-Watt passive 2-way loudspeaker, delivering impressive sound reinforcement for a wide range of applications, both fixed and portable. Perfect for small-scale performance sound reinforcement, as well as high-intelligibility speech applications, the VX 12 provides clear, natural vocal reproduction with excellent low-mid extension. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for both installed systems and portable setups, delivering top-tier audio in environments such as clubs, theaters, AV installations, and small events.

The VX 12 features Tannoy's renowned Dual Concentric driver design, utilizing a single 12" (305 mm) full-range driver that combines both low-frequency and high-frequency drivers into a single point source. This design ensures optimal phase coherence and high output with exceptional sensitivity and efficiency. The result is a loudspeaker that produces precise, consistent sound reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum, from 70 Hz to 25 kHz. The 12" driver configuration provides improved low-mid extension for deep, rich bass, making it an ideal choice for background music playback, as well as foreground applications that demand high fidelity sound.

The Q-Centric waveguide technology used in the VX 12 ensures precise 90° horizontal dispersion, providing excellent coverage and forward projection. This tight pattern control allows the VX 12 to deliver clear, focused sound while minimizing unwanted reflections, ensuring an immersive listening experience. Whether used as a front-of-house (FOH) speaker, floor monitor, or side-fill speaker, the VX 12 maintains excellent clarity and power delivery in a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications.

The VX 12's rugged, vented plywood enclosure is constructed from a combination of 15 mm (5/8") and 18 mm (3/4") plywood, providing durability and resonance control. The trapezoidal design of the cabinet allows for various placement options, including FOH, delay systems, or floor monitoring. The speaker is finished with a hard-wearing semi-matte black paint, giving it a professional appearance while ensuring the cabinet can withstand the rigors of touring and installation. A rugged, powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille protects the driver while maintaining acoustic transparency, ensuring consistent performance throughout its lifespan.

For easy transportation, the VX 12 is equipped with ergonomic Integrip handles integrated into the top and bottom of the cabinet, making setup and movement effortless. The rear panel features Neutrik speakON NL4 connectors and barrier strip terminals for both input and link connections, allowing for easy integration with additional speakers or subwoofers in a larger system. A blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting allows the VX 12 to be placed atop a subwoofer in portable PA applications, further enhancing its versatility. The speaker is also compatible with optional horizontal and vertical mounting yokes (sold separately), and features M10 flying inserts for easy rigging in both portrait and landscape orientations. All mounting hardware has been rigorously tested and certified for a greater than 5:1 safety ratio, ensuring secure and safe installation in various settings.

The VX 12 loudspeaker also offers full range of DSP settings, downloadable from Tannoy's website, for tailored configurations based on specific application needs. Whether used in standalone mode or part of a larger system, the VX 12 provides flexibility in tuning and optimization for maximum performance in every scenario.
