Tannoy VX 8-WH - 520W 8-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The Tannoy VX 8-WH is a compact yet highly capable 8-inch passive loudspeaker that delivers exceptional performance across a range of sound reinforcement applications. Despite being one of the smaller models in the VX series, the VX 8-WH boasts an outstanding performance-to-size ratio, offering a punchy and sonically articulate solution for small-scale performance sound reinforcement, as well as high-intelligibility speech applications where clarity and natural vocal reproduction are essential. Its versatile design also makes it an ideal complement to larger systems, which allows it to seamlessly integrate into both portable and fixed installations.

At the heart of the VX 8-WH is Tannoy's advanced constant directivity Dual Concentric driver technology, which ensures a high power output, exceptional sensitivity, and impressive efficiency. The 200 mm (8") full-range driver is optimized for phase coherence, delivering clear, precise sound with extended low-mid frequency response. This speaker provides a wide 90° dispersion pattern, ensuring uniform coverage and exceptional forward gain across the listening area. The trapezoidal enclosure, constructed from 15 mm (5/8") plywood, is designed to accommodate a variety of placement options, including front-of-house (FOH) sound reinforcement, floor monitoring, stage front fill, and delay applications. The enclosure's durable construction and powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille make the VX 8-WH a reliable solution for both touring and permanent installations.

For added flexibility, the VX 8-WH is equipped with a blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting, allowing easy integration atop a subwoofer in portable PA setups. The speaker also features a range of mounting options, including horizontal yoke brackets and Omnimount inserts for wall and ceiling installation. These mounting solutions, all rigorously tested for a safety ratio exceeding 5:1, ensure that the VX 8-WH can be securely and easily positioned for optimal performance. Ergonomically integrated handles on the top and bottom of the cabinet make it easy to transport the speaker, while the semi-matt white finish provides a professional appearance that blends seamlessly with various environments.

With a continuous power handling of 130W and a peak power rating of 520W, the VX 8-WH is capable of producing a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 119 dB peak, making it an excellent choice for high-performance applications. Its frequency response spans from 85 Hz to 35 kHz, providing a full range of sound for both music and speech reproduction. The Neutrik speakON NL4 connectors ensure secure input and link connections, while the speaker's passive crossover with dynamic HF protection helps maintain sound integrity at higher volumes.

The VX 8-WH is optimized for use with Tannoy amplifiers and controllers, and a wide range of DSP settings are available for download on Tannoy's website to suit various system configurations. Whether used as part of a larger system or as a standalone unit, the VX 8-WH delivers high-quality, consistent sound for a variety of applications, including corporate events, houses of worship, live performances, and portable sound systems.
