About the Tannoy VX 12.2Q 12.2Q 12" PowerDual Full Range Loudspeaker w/ Low Frequency Driver and Q-Centric Waveguide for Portable and Installation Applications
The Tannoy VX 12.2Q is a professional-grade, high-output 12-inch two-way powered loudspeaker designed for versatile use in both portable PA and permanent installation applications. Its core innovation is Tannoy's proprietary Q-Centric waveguide, which houses a 1.4-inch exit compression driver concentrically mounted within the LF driver's pole piece. This true coaxial alignment ensures perfect time and phase coherence between the high and low-frequency sound sources, resulting in exceptional stereo imaging, a wide and consistent coverage pattern, and a well-defined sweet spot, even when listeners are off-axis. The integrated Class-D amplifier module is specifically tuned to the speaker's components, providing optimized power and dynamic performance with built-in system protection.
Engineered for durability and ease of use, the VX 12.2Q features a rugged plywood enclosure with a textured, road-ready finish and ergonomic steel handles. The integrated amplifier offers comprehensive onboard processing, including user-selectable presets for different applications (e.g., Main, Monitor, Speech), a 3-band EQ, and delay. Connectivity is extensive, featuring both XLR and 1/4-inch inputs with a mix-thru link output, as well as a dedicated XLR input for an optional wireless microphone receiver. Multiple rigging points and an integrated pole mount socket provide flexible deployment options, whether as a standalone floor monitor, on a speaker stand, or flown in an array using optional hardware.
As a member of the VX Series, the 12.2Q delivers tour-grade performance in a highly practical, self-powered format. It excels as a main PA speaker for live bands and DJs, as a powerful stage monitor, or as a primary loudspeaker in fixed installations such as houses of worship or performance venues. Its combination of coaxial clarity, high output, integrated amplification, and robust build makes it a complete, reliable audio solution that eliminates the need for external crossovers and amplifier matching, streamlining setup and ensuring consistent, high-fidelity sound reinforcement.
