The VXNET 12HP is a complete installation solution that combines the extraordinary sonic advantages of Tannoy's PowerDual™ true point-source driver with integrated digital signal processing, Class D amplifier technologies and robust network control. Together with other models in the VXNET Series, the VXNET 12HP affords unprecedented flexibility and scalability across the full range of installed sound applications, including commercial and hospitality, bars and nightclubs, and other small performance spaces.

The VXNET 12HP is built around a single 300 mm (12") PowerDual driver mounted in a compact, rugged birch plywood cabinet. As the latest high power-handling version of Tannoy's famed Dual Concentric™ technology, PowerDual ensures high power output with exceptional efficiency together with exceptionally smooth beamwidth characteristics for even coverage at all frequencies. The symmetrical dispersion characteristics allow vertical or horizontal mounting of single cabinets or multi-cabinet arrays without compromising sound quality.

For greater ease in system configuration, as well as precise performance optimisation, all VXNET models incorporate a VNET™ amplifier, DSP and network control module. The integrated VNET concept encompasses intuitive setup software, integrated processing, tuning control, remote performance diagnostics and system protection, together providing a high-performance solution that's easy to install and commission. To enable quick network set-up, VNET modules are interconnected using rugged Neutrik etherCON™ connectors which are compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and Cat-5 type cable. Each VXNET loudspeaker has a unique address for auto-location on the network, and the VNET network supports free topology so VXNET loudspeakers can be arranged in daisy-chain or star configurations, or a combination of both. System commissioning and venue network control -- including real-time diagnostics of the drive unit -- are managed by the VNET Windows-based software program. Using a standard LAN-to-serial bridge, wireless network control is accommodated via a WiFi-enabled laptop computer.

The VXNET 12HP cabinet, featuring aesthetically profiled edges and an Airnet™ backed and powder-coated steel grille, is available in standard black or white textured finishes with custom-matched RAL colours as an option. The extensive range of mounting hardware options includes eyebolt location points, a yoke bracket for wall or ceiling location, and a VTH top-hat for pole mounting. For absolute security and installers' peace of mind, all hardware has been tested and certified to guarantee greater than 5:1 safety ratio.
