Tannoy VXP 6 - 1600W 6-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The Tannoy VXP 6 is a compact yet powerful 1600W powered loudspeaker that combines excellent performance with portability. Featuring Tannoy's renowned Dual Concentric driver technology, the VXP 6-UL provides exceptional sound clarity, phase coherence, and efficiency, making it an ideal solution for both small-scale portable PA systems and installed applications. Whether used for front-of-house (FOH) sound reinforcement, as a floor monitor, or in side-fill configurations, the VXP 6-UL delivers remarkable audio reproduction with tight, accurate coverage and outstanding vocal clarity.

At the heart of the VXP 6-UL is the 6-inch (150 mm) PowerDual driver, which integrates both low-frequency and high-frequency drivers into a single point-source configuration. This driver ensures optimal phase coherence and delivers a smooth, natural sound across the full frequency range. The VXP 6-UL benefits from a finely tuned, controlled 90° conical dispersion pattern, which guarantees wide coverage and exceptional forward projection, making it a versatile option for both live sound and installed applications. The driver's performance is backed by LAB GRUPPEN's IDEEA Class-D amplification, which offers 1,600 watts of output power in a lightweight and energy-efficient design.

Class-D amplification provides multiple advantages, including increased energy efficiency, reduced size, and minimized heat generation, which allows the VXP 6-UL to deliver high output with minimal weight and bulk. This makes the speaker particularly suitable for both portable and permanent installations, where space and portability are essential considerations. Additionally, the VXP 6-UL features a dynamic range of 106 dB and a peak SPL of 123 dB, ensuring that it can handle demanding sound reinforcement tasks with ease while maintaining crystal-clear sound even at high volumes.

The trapezoidal enclosure design of the VXP 6-UL maximizes versatility, offering a range of mounting and placement options. Whether placed as a floor monitor, used in a delay line setup, or deployed as part of a front-of-house system, the speaker's design allows for consistent and reliable sound coverage. The inclusion of a blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting makes it even easier to integrate the VXP 6-UL atop subwoofers or use it in pole-mounted applications in portable PA systems. For installations, optional horizontal mounting yokes and an Omnimount for wall and ceiling installation further expand the speaker's flexibility.

The VXP 6-UL's robust construction includes an 18mm (3/4") plywood front and 12mm (1/2") plywood enclosure, which is vented and internally braced to provide durability and prevent unwanted resonance. The speaker is finished in a semi-matte black paint, with a rugged, powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille that ensures the protection of the internal components during transport or on-stage use. Additionally, the rear panel offers convenient features such as a switch for selecting between full-range and high-pass filter operation, fully balanced input and link output via Neutrik XLR connectors, and a locking Neutrik powerCON connector to ensure secure and reliable mains power delivery.

Optimized for use with LAKE LM Series controllers, the VXP 6-UL provides full compatibility with a wide range of digital signal processing (DSP) settings available for download on Tannoy's website. This makes it an adaptable solution for various sound reinforcement configurations, allowing users to tailor the speaker's performance to meet the specific demands of different venues and applications.

Overall, the Tannoy VXP 6-UL stands out as a compact, highly efficient, and versatile powered loudspeaker that is well-suited for a wide variety of professional sound applications. Its high output, excellent sound clarity, and flexible mounting options make it a valuable addition to any portable or installed sound system.
