About the Tannoy VXQ 12Q 12" PowerDual Full Range Loudspeaker w/ Q-Centric Waveguide for Portable and Installation Applications
The Tannoy VXQ 12Q is a powered, full-range loudspeaker that integrates a 12-inch PowerDual driver and a proprietary Q-Centric waveguide, engineered for high-performance in both portable sound reinforcement and permanent installation settings. This active speaker system combines amplification, processing, and transducer technology into a single, cohesive unit, designed to deliver exceptional sonic clarity, consistent coverage, and user-friendly operation. It is particularly well-suited for live music applications, mobile DJ performances, corporate AV events, and fixed installations in clubs or houses of worship where a powerful, self-contained audio solution is required. The integrated design eliminates the need for external amplifiers and complex system tuning, providing a streamlined, reliable setup that consistently delivers optimized sound quality directly out of the box.
The core of the VXQ 12Q's performance lies in its advanced 12-inch PowerDual driver, a co-axial design where a 1.4-inch compression driver is mounted at the center of the LF cone, and the innovative Q-Centric waveguide. This specialized waveguide is engineered to work in tandem with the co-axial driver to provide a significantly broader and more uniform dispersion pattern compared to standard designs, particularly in the critical mid-high frequency range. The result is a consistent, coherent sound field with reduced "beaming" and excellent off-axis response, ensuring even coverage and tonal balance throughout the listening area. An onboard, custom-designed DSP engine actively manages crossover functions, driver protection, and system EQ, applying precise filtering to maximize headroom, control excursion, and tailor the frequency response for the enclosure's specific acoustics.
Built into a durable, multi-ply wood enclosure with a textured, road-ready finish, the VXQ 12Q is designed for professional use. It features a comprehensive rear panel with multiple input options, including XLR and 1/4-inch jacks, and balanced loop-through outputs for daisy-chaining additional cabinets. Intuitive controls allow for input level adjustment, basic EQ shaping, and selection of preset operational modes. Integrated M10 rigging points and a pole mount socket offer versatile deployment options. By merging sophisticated co-axial driver technology, active DSP optimization, and a purpose-built waveguide into a single powered enclosure, the Tannoy VXQ 12Q delivers a potent combination of sonic precision, coverage control, and operational simplicity for the demanding professional user.
