Product Description
Conceived, engineered and built with precision in the United Kingdom, VXP Series
represents a brand new evolution in Tannoy’s core philosophies in self-powered
loudspeaker design. The Tannoy VXP 12.2Q features the brand new IDEEA™
(IntelliDrive Energy Efcient Amplier) integrated power module from Lab.gruppen
The result is an ultra-reliable and efcient, self-powered loudspeaker offering a punchy
and sonically superior solution for medium-scale sound reinforcement. The VXP 12.2Q
has been sonically matched with the wider range of VXP Series models, this allows
consistency in installations where a mix of products is utilised.
The VXP 12.2Q is built around two discrete transducers, 1 x 300 mm (12”) PowerDual™
with Q-Centric waveguide and a 1 x 300 mm (12”) bass driverfor greatly improved LF
extension, mounted within a compact rugged birch plywood cabinet with aesthetically
proled edges and an AirnetTM-backed, powder-coated steel grille. The latest higher
power handling 300 mm (12”) version of Tannoy’s exclusive point source, constant
directivity PowerDual drive unit technology, coupled with the QCW device, brings
best of both worlds – true point source acoustical performance combined with highly
controlled 75 x 40 degree dispersion, resulting in less unwanted shading effects and
optimized forward gain. The driver assembly can be rotated 90 degrees in the cabinet
to allow for versatile mounting without compromise to dispersion requirements.
The perfectly matched integrated Lab.gruppen IDEEA (IntelliDrive Energy Efcient
Amplier) modules are designed to handle the demands of xed installation audio,
with the inherent extended duty cycles of around-the-clock operation and very high
performance demands, while offering the durability, unmatched power output and
clarity required by portable applications. To ensure a long and trouble-free service
life, IDEEA modules incorporate extensive features to safeguard internal circuits and
driver compliment.
At the heart of the IDEEA module is a patented Class D output stage capable of high
power levels with very low distortion and minimal current draw – all with a net operating
efciency in excess of 80%. A universal switching power supply accepts any mains
voltage from 70 – 265V (+/- 10%) at 50 Hz or 60 Hz through the appropriate IEC cord.
In Auto mode, the speaker turns on with signal present and switches to standby mode
after 20 minutes of no input, in doing so reducing power consumption to less than 1 W
(while in standby). Manual control mode allows the speaker to be turned on and off as
required. Also provided is a switchable 90 Hz high-pass lter for use when adding
a subwoofer.
Audio connection is via XLR Input and power via PowerCON (included) on rear panel.
VXP 12.2Q is available in black or white textured paint nish as standard, with
matching grilles, and is also available in custom matched RAL colours as an option.

DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGS
The loudspeaker shall consist of a 305 mm (12”) full-range, point source Power Dual transducer and a discrete 305 mm (12”) bass driver. The
low and high frequency elements shall be driven by an integrated single-channel Class D amplier through an internal passive crossover network
operating at 1.5 kHz. A low-pass lter operating at 300 Hz shall limit midrange response of the bass driver to prevent destructive interference. The
amplier module shall incorporate an auto power down (APD) circuit that places the loudspeaker in standby mode with less than 1 W power
consumption when input signal is absent for more than 20 minutes, resuming full operation when signal is again present at the input.
Performance of the loudspeaker shall meet or exceed the following criteria: Frequency response measured at 1 metre on axis with swept sine wave
shall be 60 Hz to 25 kHz (3 dB) in full-range mode and 100 Hz to 25 kHz in high-pass mode. Rated average SPL shall be 125 dB (anechoic) on axis
at 1 metre. The dispersion of the loudspeaker shall be 75 degrees horizontal by 40 degrees vertical (-6 dB).
The enclosure shall be an optimally tuned 57 litre vented 15 mm (0.62”) birch plywood cabinet with 18 mm (0.71”) birch plywood front bafe.
Connectors shall be 1 x female XLR (input), 1 x male XLR (link) and 1 x Neutrik powerCON. The speaker shall be tted with the following controls
and indicators: level control, blue power LED, green signal LED, red limit LED, full range / high pass switch (110 Hz) and a power switch. The
enclosure shall be tted with 8 x integral M10 inserts for ying hardware, 8 x M10 yoke bracket inserts and an integrated carrying handle. There
shall be a blanking plate for an optional pole mount adaptor.
The enclosure shall not exceed the following dimensions: 780 x 370 x 360 mm or 30.7 x 14.6 x14.1” (H x W x D). The loudspeaker shall be the
Tannoy VXP 12.2Q.
