POWERVS15 BP

Product Description The high power POWERVS15 BP is a compact, versatile and extremely efficient bandpass subwoofer system, designed to extend the low frequency response of Tannoy POWERV loudspeakers and increase system headroom. Extending the frequency response of these systems to below 40Hz this highly efficient design is capable of providing output levels normally associated with considerably larger enclosures.

The POWERVS15 BP consists of one high efficiency 380mm (15.00”) with a 76mm (3.00”) voice coil drive unit mounted in a compact and sturdy, black or white painted cabinet constructed from 15mm (0.62”) multi-ply birch hardwood; robust enough to survive the punishment that speakers systems are subjected to on the road and in club installations. Delivering impressive levels of accuracy and performance, the POWERVS15 BP is equipped with a highly efficient, flexible and reliable Class D power amplifier incorporating

a switching power supply. The amplifier section and power supply were developed simultaneously and therefore optimally matched to minimise noise and enhance stability. The power module combines light, efficient and cool-running amplification, comprehensive driver protection and equalisation into a single compact unit. Clean, undistorted sound is delivered, even when driven at very high power levels. No cooling fans are required so the system runs quietly and is not prone to internal dust contamination.

All signal processing functions have been precisely tailored; crossover frequencies and slopes, EQ, phase corrections and limiting. LED’s on the rear panel indicate signal presence, signal activity, and power. Signal input and audio link are via XLR, while the mains connector is a Neutrik locking Powercon type. The full range POWERV models have a high pass mode that enables a simple top box and subwoofer combination to be created without the need for an external crossover. Two low pass setting options on the subwoofer amplifier fully optimise integration with the full range units.

Available in black or white, this versatile powered subwoofer also has, due to effective acoustic matching to the other POWERV models, a wide range of uses in fully integrated installations as diverse as theme bars, performing arts centres, high quality public address, theme parks, leisure venues, audio visual, houses of worship and ‘dry hire’ rental.

The POWERVS15 BP comes complete with recessed carrying handles for ease of transportation and 10mm flying points provide a quick and secure flying. A blanking plate covers a recess for the optional VTH pole mount.

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.
