The VXP 15HP-UL utilizes Tannoy's proprietary point-source PowerDual driver technology, which delivers clear, phase-coherent sound with extended low-mid response. This speaker is engineered to handle the demands of high SPL environments while maintaining clarity and power. The dual driver configuration adds low-mid extension to the overall sound profile, ensuring a full-range experience without sacrificing definition. The 75° conical dispersion provides excellent control over the sound field, allowing the VXP 15HP-UL to cover large areas with consistent sound quality and no hot spots.

Equipped with a very efficient LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA Class-D power amplifier, the VXP 15HP-UL achieves 1,600 Watts of peak power output in a lightweight, portable package. The Class-D amplifier is energy-efficient, reducing the need for bulky power supplies and large heat sinks, making the VXP 15HP-UL a highly portable solution for demanding sound reinforcement tasks. The speaker's high power output, coupled with the highly sensitive driver, delivers exceptional dynamic range and clarity, reaching a maximum SPL of 131 dB peak. This makes the VXP 15HP-UL ideal for use in loud environments where high output levels are essential, such as concerts, festivals, and large venues.

The VXP 15HP-UL's trapezoidal enclosure design allows for a variety of mounting and placement options. It is equipped with a blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting, enabling easy integration with subwoofers in portable PA applications. The speaker is also compatible with horizontal and vertical mounting yokes (available separately), as well as Omnimount inserts for wall and ceiling installation, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications. All mounting hardware has been certified with a safety ratio of greater than 5:1, ensuring reliable performance in both temporary and permanent installations.

Finished in a semi-matte black paint, the VXP 15HP-UL is designed for durability and aesthetics. Its rugged, powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille provides protection to the driver components while maintaining an attractive, professional appearance. The rear panel includes a switch for selecting between full-range or high-pass filter operation, as well as fully balanced input and link outputs using Neutrik XLR connectors for seamless connection to additional powered enclosures. A secure locking Neutrik powerCON connector is included for reliable mains power delivery, with a selection switch for manual or automatic operation modes.

For ease of use, the VXP 15HP-UL includes a recessed level potentiometer for volume adjustment and an intuitive design that ensures quick and easy setup. The speaker is optimized for use with LAKE LM Series controllers, and a full range of DSP settings are available for download at tannoy.com to ensure optimal performance in various configurations.
