VS15 BP specifications

The Tannoy VS15 BP is a powerful and versatile loudspeaker designed for professional audio applications. Known for its exceptional performance and reliability, it is suitable for a wide range of environments, including live sound reinforcement, installations, and studio monitoring.

At the core of the VS15 BP is its innovative design, featuring a large 15-inch low-frequency driver. This driver is engineered to deliver deep, articulate bass response, making it a preferred choice for genres that require a strong low-end presence. Coupled with a high-frequency compression driver and a precision waveguide, the VS15 BP ensures clear reproduction of vocals and instruments, providing a balanced sound that can fill both small and large venues.

One of the standout features of the VS15 BP is its robust construction. The cabinet is built from high-quality birch plywood, offering durability and resonance control. The rugged exterior is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and installation, ensuring longevity even in the most demanding conditions. Additionally, the enclosure design incorporates a front baffle that minimizes diffraction, enhancing the overall sound clarity.

The speaker’s versatility is further enhanced by its dual power handling capabilities, allowing it to be used in passive or bi-amped configurations. This flexibility enables sound engineers to tailor the system according to specific performance needs, providing a higher level of control over audio output. The VS15 BP includes various input options, making it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and signal processing equipment.

In terms of technologies, Tannoy has integrated advanced acoustic engineering principles into the VS15 BP. The speaker features a unique constant directivity design, which ensures that sound is distributed evenly throughout the listening area. This is particularly beneficial for live events, where audience coverage is critical.

Another notable characteristic is the speaker’s high sensitivity rating, allowing for maximum output with minimal amplification power. This makes the VS15 BP an efficient option for both mobile setups and fixed installations. Overall, the Tannoy VS15 BP stands out for its combination of power, clarity, and durability, making it an excellent choice for sound professionals seeking reliable performance in a variety of applications.
