INTRODUCTION Precise VTX V25 vertical pattern control requires precise focus for optimum audience coverage and the VTX-LZ laser accessory provides a cost-effective installation tool to help streamline the setup process. Typically a single LZ is installed on the top enclosure of each VTX array to serve as a visual reference while setting the overall array site angle in accordance with JBL Line Array Calculator (LAC) predictions.
ARRAY TRIM HEIGHT AND SITE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT When properly mounted on the top enclosure of a VTX line array, the VTX-LZ laser provides a visual reference to confirm on-axis vertical site angle aiming (focus) of the array. Coverage simulations based on JBL Line Array Calculator II software (LAC II) indicate the desired location where the laser should aim and the VTX-LZ laser provides visual confirmation to assist with actual installation in the field.
USING MULTIPLE VTX-LZ LASERS For advanced system tuning, multiple LZ lasers can be deployed to serve as site angle references for individual array circuits, assisting in physical measurement microphone placement to correspond with virtual measurement microphones shown in LAC. Using JBL HiQnet Performance Manager™ control software and with reference to measured spatial response, circuit level gain shading and JBL Line Array Control Panel (LACP) frequency tapering adjustments are performed as a first step in system tuning.
VTX-LZ INSTALLATION For basic VTX system installation, a single VTX-LZ unit should be mounted on the top VTX enclosure as described in “Array Trim Height and Site Angle Adjustment”. When multiple VTX-LZ units are installed on arrays with nominal enclosure circuiting, secondary lasers are typically attached to the center loudspeaker of 3-enclosure circuits.

CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY Standard 3-pin XLR cables can be used to connect the VTX-LZ-PS power supply to the VTX-LZ laser unit. One XLR cable connects from the power supply to the first laser unit and additional XLR cables can then be used to daisy-chain from the first unit to additional laser units.
OPERATION The laser is activated by pushing the contact button on the power supply unit. Be sure to follow all safety precautions and warnings: Never look directly into the laser, even when switched off since someone may activate the unit without warning. ...
