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
