The VRX Series loudspeakers covered by this manual are not intended for fixed installation in outdoor or high

moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause corrosion of electrical

contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture. Keep loudspeakers out of extended or

intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and finished surfaces may be degraded by

long-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light.

The VRX Series loudspeakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as

polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be

taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.

Make sure the selected AC line voltage is correct.

STAND MOUNTING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Some VRX Series models can be used with an optional stand mount accessory allowing mounting on tripod

stands or on a pole over subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:

• Check the stand or pole specification to be certain the device is designed to support the weight of the

speaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer.

• Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer / pole) is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface and be

sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs do not present a

trip hazard.

• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip over them and pull the

speaker over.

• Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with

worn, damaged, or missing parts.

• Do not attempt to place more than two VRX932LAP Series loudspeaker on a stand or pole.

• Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight (i.e.

sandbags) on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners or similar items to

any part of a speaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.

• Unless you are confident that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person to help

you get it onto the tripod stand or pole.

HEARING DAMAGE, PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE SPL

VRX Series loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause

permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to

avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.

VRX_Powered_UsersGuid012808 copy 3.qxp 1/30/08 4:52 PM Page 7

SECTION 3 : INTRODUCTION TO THE VRX932LAP

The VRX932LAP is a powered, two-way, full-range line array speaker system. It is intended for small to mid size

venues. The JBL DrivePack®DPC-2 amplifier module provides the power and the integrated DSP based input

module system optimization and EQ. Since each VRX932LAP has a vertical coverage of 15°, line arrays up to

5 x 15° = 75° vertical included angle can be attained. Each cabinet houses 3 HF drivers mounted at equal

distance on a waveguide. When combining multiple cabinets, (creating a continuous arc) the distance between

the drivers to the adjacent cabinets remains the same creating a constant curvature line source. Furthermore

the coverage can be optimized by means of the Array Configuration Selector (ACS), an amplitude shading

feature (see page 19 and 20). Built-in rigging hardware, a dual angle pole mount socket and an array frame

provide a variety of suspension options.
