The VXP 12-WH-UL features Tannoy's renowned 305 mm (12") Dual Concentric driver, which is designed to produce phase-coherent sound with high sensitivity and exceptional efficiency. This unique configuration provides a well-balanced sound profile, delivering tight bass and articulate midrange and high frequencies. The speaker is engineered to offer precise 90° conical dispersion, ensuring uniform sound coverage across the listening area, with exceptional forward gain. The twin driver configuration, combined with the advanced driver technology, provides improved low-mid extension for a full-range performance that is both clear and powerful.

The trapezoidal enclosure design of the VXP 12-WH-UL makes it highly versatile, offering a range of mounting and placement options. Whether used as a front-of-house (FOH) speaker, floor monitor, or delay speaker, the VXP 12-WH-UL provides clear, consistent sound reproduction. It is also designed to be easily mounted using a blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting, allowing for placement atop subwoofers in portable PA systems. The speaker also includes optional horizontal and vertical mounting yokes, as well as an Omnimount insert for wall and ceiling installation. All mounting hardware has been tested and certified with a greater than 5:1 safety ratio for peace of mind during installation.

The VXP 12-WH-UL is finished in a semi-matte white paint, ensuring it maintains a professional aesthetic that blends seamlessly into most environments. The rugged, powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille protects the driver components while providing a clean, modern look. The rear panel connector plate offers flexibility with a choice of full-range or high-pass filter (HPF) operation, and the fully balanced input and link output are facilitated via Neutrik XLR connectors for seamless integration with other powered enclosures. The mains power connection is provided by a secure locking Neutrik powerCON connector, offering reliable power delivery for consistent performance.

For enhanced control and ease of use, the VXP 12-WH-UL features a recessed level potentiometer and a switch to toggle between manual (MAN) and automatic (AUTO) operation modes. The speaker is designed to work seamlessly with LAB GRUPPEN amplifiers or LAKE LM Series controllers, and a full range of DSP settings are available for download at tannoy.com to optimize its performance in a variety of system configurations.
