Tannoy VQ MB Dual 12" Mid-Bass Large Format Loudspeaker for High Performance Installation Applications

$2,099.00

The VQ MB is a high powered low/mid frequency module that replicates the low frequency section of the VQ 60 & VQ 100 full range loudspeakers and can be flown or ground stacked to provide improved LF pattern control with full range or mid/high systems in the VQ series. Two (12”) low frequency transducers offer high power handling and low power compression for high continuous SPL capability. A newly designed LF loading design provides the highest possible sensitivity for low/mid frequency output (105 dB/w). The VQ MB is principally intended for use with the VQ 60, VQ 100, VQ MH & VQ DF full range systems and can be used construct arrays with extended low frequency pattern control. By fixing a VQ MB at the opposing end of a VQ full range loudspeaker we can effectively extend pattern control to below the cutoff point of the Mid/High PSW waveguide.

About the Tannoy VQ MB Dual 12" Mid-Bass Large Format Loudspeaker for High Performance Installation Applications

The Tannoy VQ MB is a large-format, high-power mid-bass loudspeaker engineered as a dedicated low-frequency component within Tannoy's premium VQ Series installation loudspeaker systems. Its primary function is to deliver robust, articulate, and powerful low-mid and bass reinforcement in large-scale fixed installations such as performing arts centers, houses of worship, major conference halls, and high-end entertainment venues. The cabinet houses two high-performance 12-inch drivers, configured to maximize output and control in the critical frequency range that provides punch, warmth, and impact to music and speech. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the VQ Series main loudspeakers and subwoofers to create a full-range, multi-way system with exceptional clarity and dynamic range.

Constructed with a durable, void-free birch plywood enclosure and a rugged textured finish, the VQ MB is built for longevity in demanding commercial environments. It incorporates Tannoy's advanced bass reflex porting and internal bracing to optimize efficiency and minimize unwanted resonance. The speaker includes integrated rigging points that are compatible with the VQ Series flying hardware, allowing for secure and precise arraying or mounting alongside other system components. Connectivity is provided via robust NL4 Speakon connectors, and the system is designed for use with external active crossovers and high-power amplification, typically within a bi-amplified or tri-amplified system topology managed by system DSP.

As part of the professional VQ Series, the MB model offers system designers a scalable, tour-grade solution for installed sound. Its dual 12-inch driver configuration provides the necessary headroom and output to fill large spaces with clean, distortion-free low-mid energy, forming the foundational "chest" and "punch" of the audio system. When properly integrated, it ensures seamless transitions between the main high-frequency enclosures and the sub-bass units, resulting in a coherent, powerful, and immersive listening experience suitable for the most critical musical and reinforcement applications.
