• Users may choose to use the same size amplifier to power all components / passbands. • DSP crossover presets provided by JBL assume that the same amplifier models with equal voltage gain, are used for each bandpass.
NOTES ON SUBWOOFER WIRING • VT4880: Users may choose to wire both 2258 (18”) components in parallel to one (1) channel of a MA-3600 or MA-5002 for (4) ohms load. In this case each amplifier channel drives one VT4880. If two VT4880 are wired in parallel, the load is two ohms and there will be no amplifier power headroom.
NOTES REGARDING LIMITER SETTINGS • The recommended limiter threshold settings provide 3 dB of headroom before the component or bandpass peak voltage is reached. • The component or bandpass peak voltage is 6 dB above the voltage used at continuous maximum power. •...

• Clusters of combined models (i.e. VT4887s attached under a VT4889) use ADAPTER FRAMES to interconnect the various models. • These frames are the: VT4800-DA to adapt VT4887 under VT4889 or VT4880. VT4800-CA to adapt VT4887 under VT4888. VT4800-UA to adapt any model to any model.

VERTEC SYSTEMS: SUSPENSION HINGE BARS High-grade steel alloy hinge bars are used to couple adjacent boxes together. There are several different types. To ensure ease and proper inter-connection, make certain that the correct hinge bar model is matched to the appropriate Array Frame or Short Frame as well as the correct V model.
TYPICAL 8-BOX HANGING ARRAY The VT4889 full size, the VT4888 mid size, and VT4887 compact line array elements can be suspended from either the “AF” (long) or “SF” (short) array frame. Shown here, eight VT4887 suspended from a VT4887-AF array frame. Page 19...
