Product description
TheVXNET12QisacompleteinstallationsolutionthatcombinestheextraordinarysonicadvantagesofTannoy’s
PowerDual™truepoint-sourcedriverinthesamecabinetwithintegrateddigitalsignalprocessing,ClassDamplier
technologiesandrobustnetworkcontrol.TogetherwithothermodelsintheVXNETSeries,theVXNET12Qaffords
unprecedentedexibilityandscalabilityacrossthefullrangeofinstalledsoundapplications.
TheVXNET12Qisbuiltaroundasingle300mm(12”)PowerDualdrivermountedinacompact,ruggedbirch
plywoodcabinet.Asthelatesthighpower-handlingversionofTannoy’sfamedDualConcentric™technology,
PowerDualensureshighpoweroutputwithexceptionalefciency.BycouplingPowerDualwiththenewQ-Centric
Waveguide™,VXNET12Qofferstruepointsourceperformancecombinedwithhighlycontrolled75x40degree
dispersionforlessunwantedshadingeffectsandoptimizedforwardgain.Thedriverassemblycanberotated90
degreestoallowversatilemountingoptions.
Forgreatereaseinsystemconguration,aswellaspreciseperformanceoptimisation,allVXNETmodels
incorporateaVNET™amplier,DSPandnetworkcontrolmodule.TheintegratedVNETconceptencompasses
intuitivesetupsoftware,integratedprocessing,tuningcontrol,remoteperformancediagnosticsandsystem
protectionforasolutionthat’seasytoinstallandcommission.
Toenablequicknetworkset-up,VNETmodulesareinterconnectedusingruggedNeutriketherCON™connectors
whicharecompatiblewithstandardRJ45connectorsandCat-5typecable.EachVXNETloudspeakerhasaunique
addressforauto-locationonthenetwork,andtheVNETnetworksupportsfreetopologysoVXNETloudspeakers
canbearrangedindaisy-chainorstarcongurations,oracombinationofboth.Systemcommissioningandvenue
networkcontrol–includingreal-timediagnosticsofthedriveunit–aremanagedbytheVNETWindows-based
softwareprogram.UsingastandardLAN-to-serialbridge,wirelessnetworkcontrolisaccommodatedviaa
WiFi-enabledlaptopcomputer.
TheVXNET12Qcabinet,featuringaestheticallyprolededgesandanAirnet™-backedandpowder-coatedsteel
grille,isavailableinstandardblackorwhitetexturednisheswithcustom-matchedRALcoloursasanoption.The
extensiverangeofmountinghardwareoptionsincludeseyeboltlocationpoints,ayokebracketforwallorceiling
location,andaVTHtop-hatforpolemounting.Forabsolutesecurityandinstallers’peaceofmind,allhardwarehas
beentestedandcertiedtoguaranteegreaterthan5:1safetyratio.
VNET Network
TheTannoyVNETnetworkprovidesarobustandexiblemeansforcontrollingandmonitoringVXNETSeries
loudspeakers.VNET’srobustRS485interfacetransmitsandreceivesserialdataoveratwistedpairtoahigh
numberofnodesoververylongdistances.VNETalsooperatesasasharedbussystem,allowingasinglecomputer
tocontrolanynodeonthatbusandgatherstatusinformationfromanyofthedevices.Toensurethatanynetwork
faultwillnotaffectaudiooperation,onlydatatocontrolsetupfunctionsandongoingsystemdiagnosticsiscarried
overthenetwork.EachVXNETloudspeakercontrolsitsownDSPfunctions,soanyunforeseenproblemwouldbe
isolatedtothatparticularnodeandaudiowouldnotbeaffected.Duringsetup,speakersareautomaticallyidentied
onthesoftwareset-upscreenwithfactorydefaultnames.Namescanbeeditedtoreecttheiractuallocationon
thenetwork,withphysicallocationconrmedbya‘Flash’LEDonthefrontoftheloudspeaker.
