VRX928LA is the ideal choice when line-array performance is needed but the venue size doesn't call for the very long-throw characteristics of larger line-arrays.

  • Page 12 JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods and design refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original design specifications unless otherwise stated.

  • Page 15 Amplitude Shading Amplitude shading is a technique that allows the coverage pattern of a loudspeaker array to be shaped by adjusting the relative acoustic output of some of the devices in the array. Most often, array shading involves only the mid and high-frequency sections of the array. In a simple system consisting of three VRX932LA/VRX928LAs, the lower speaker (which covers the nearest listeners) may have its high-frequency output reduced.
  • Page 16 Array Configuration Selector (ACS) Below is an example of applying the ACS in a three-speaker array. In this particular configuration, the ACS on the top speaker is set at +3 dB, the middle speaker at 0 dB, and the bottom speaker -3 dB. +3 dB 0 dB -3 dB...

Dual VRX932LA/VRX928LA Unlike most conventional speakers, the VRX932LA/VRX928LA is designed so that a pair of speakers may be safely mounted onto a pole or tripod stand.
