Active 550-Watt 2-Way
PA Loudspeaker System with
12"/15" Woofer and 1.75"
Titanium Compression Driver
Modeled after our highly-successful
VP1220 and VP1520 passive loudspeakers
and equipped with our revolutionary
Class-D ampli er technology and
internal switch-mode power supplies,
EUROLIVE VP1220D and VP1520D active
loudspeakers, provide the ideal power-
to-weight ratio. The onboard high and
low frequency amps crank out seriously
deep bass, along with detailed mids
and highs for an amazingly articulate
sound—without the backbreaking weight.
An integrated signal processor ensures
ultra-low distortion and protection of
the custom-engineered drivers, which
we build by hand in our own facility.
Their trapezoidal enclosure design makes
them ideal for use in array deployment.
What’s the Big Deal About Class-D?
Instead of operating relatively
continuously like Class AB circuits, Class-D
amps switch on and o thousands of
times per second, delivering power
only when needed. In other words,
the ampli er is either fully on or fully o ,
which signi cantly reduces power losses
from the output devices given o as heat.
Less heat means our amps don’t need
massive heat sinks, and that means we can
make them lighter. Our no-compromise
design means your EUROLIVE D Series
loudspeakers will deliver full power with
incredible delity all night long, without
the need for lengthy rest cycles.
When used in conjunction with
switching-mode power supplies, which
don’t require huge and heavy transformers,
our Class-D ampli ers provide tremendous
dynamic punch and superior delity.
The resulting speaker systems are much
lighter, making them easy to transport
and set up.
