Product Description
Conceived, engineered and built with precision in the United Kingdom, VXP Series
represents the latest evolution of Tannoy’s core philosophies in self-powered loudspeaker
system design. The Tannoy VXP 6 features the brand new IDEEA™ (IntelliDrive Energy
Efficient Amplifier) integrated power module from Lab.gruppen. The result is a highly
compact, ultra-reliable and exceptionally efficient self-powered loudspeaker. VXP 6 offers
a punchy and sonically superior solution for small-scale sound reinforcement as well as
for critical-quality speech reproduction where clarity and natural vocal characteristics are
paramount. The VXP 6 been sonically matched with the wider range of VXP Series models,
this allows consistency in installations where a mix of products is utilised.
The VXP 6 is built around a single 150 mm (6”) Dual Concentric™ driver mounted in
an ultra-compact, rugged birch plywood cabinet with aesthetically profiled edges and
an Airnet
TM
-backed, powder-coated steel grille. The latest version of Tannoy’s exclusive
point source, constant directivity Dual Concentric drive unit ensures high sensitivity
and exceptional efficiency. More than 60 years of research into Dual Concentric
technology allows this unique configuration to deliver exceptionally smooth beam-width
characteristics resulting in an even coverage pattern at all frequencies aiding predictable
system design. Symmetrical dispersion characteristics enhance loudspeaker placement
flexibility, allowing vertical or horizontal mounting of single or multi-cabinet arrays
without compromising sound quality.
The perfectly matched Lab.gruppen IDEEA) integrated power module efficiently and
effectively handles the demands of both fixed installation and portable audio. IDEEA
modules are designed for superlative audio performance, robust power output and
long-term durability – even with extended duty cycles up to round-the-clock operation.
Extensive features to safeguard internal circuits and connected drivers ensure a long and
trouble-free service life. At the heart of the IDEEA module is a patented Class D output
stage capable of high power levels with very low distortion and minimal current draw – all
with a net operating efficiency in excess of 80%. A universal switching power supply
accepts any mains voltage from 70 – 265 V (+/- 10%) at 50 Hz or 60 Hz through the
appropriate IEC cord. In Auto mode, the speaker turns on with signal present and
switches to standby mode after 20 minutes of no input, with standby power consumption
of less than 1 W. Manual control mode allows the speaker to be turned on and off as
required. A switchable 90 Hz high-pass filter tailors response for use with a subwoofer.
Rear panel connections are provided for audio input (XLR-F), audio link (XLR-M) and AC
power (Neutrik
