Harman's JBL Professional Earns MIPA Award in "PA System" Category for VTX Line Array Series

The Harman JBL Professional's VTX line array series earned a 2012 MIPA Award in the PA System category at the Prolight + Sound show in Frankfurt.

"Since its introduction in January, the VTX line array series has received an overwhelmingly positive response from the pro audio community, and this MIPA Award is further indication of the success we have already enjoyed with VTX," said Paul Bauman, senior manager, tour sound, JBL Professional. "It is an honor to receive the MIPA Award and I wish to thank MIPA and its voters for this recognition!"

A revolutionary product that builds on the company's 65-year heritage of loudspeaker development, the VTX series is designed for portable and fixed-venue system operators alike. The company says the VTX series features JBL's sound quality coupled with the most advanced sound reinforcement technology and support available.

The first product from the VTX line array series is the VTX V25-a full-size, three-way, high-directivity line array element. The VTX V25 features two 2000W, 15" Differential Drive woofers mounted in die-cast aluminum baffles, with four 8" Differential Drive mid-range transducers and three of the new D2 dual-diaphragm dual-voice-coil compression drivers mounted on a third generation waveguide and patented RBI Radiation Boundary Integrator assembly.

At Prolight + Sound, JBL Professional expanded the VTX Series with the addition of two subwoofer models, the VTX S28 and VTX G28. The VTX S28 and G28 are dual 18" subwoofers, each employing two 2269H 18" transducers featuring Differential Drive technology with two voice coils, two neodymium magnets and extremely high peak-to peak excursion capabilities to deliver extended low-frequency performance. Both models are reverse cardioid-arrayable.
