Rajchumberis Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Anyone had a play with any of the vrx range?! Powered or unpowered?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenalien Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 No - but I was definitely lusting after these at PLASA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hxc Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 A band brought some of this in to my work last year and I was really impressed. It was a passive system running off a DBX processor. Was the 8" tops and 15" subs, only one sub a side with one top on long throw and one on short and it was one of my favourite sounding rigs. Tiny and crystal clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Lots of the PSW crowd have VRX, maybe a mosey over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlskeats Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Had the vrx932 and vrx918s at University... was an ok system, we had them powered with mc3 amps with I think a dbx processer. from what I remember the rigging was anoying and got in the way when moving them around. I think the main point to remember is that JBL stands for Junk But Loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lewis Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Raj, To do what? Better to define your needs and select a speaker that meets that need, than to pick any number of speakers and ask if they are "any good"?! Simon Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1las32 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi, Yeah I have been fortunate to use VRX on numerous occasions at Merseysound Productions they sound great alone or when paired with SRX. I have engineered bands and also conferences using them they fit the bill for any event which makes me happy. :) I hope this helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lewis Hey Simon, Was looking at them to advise further for an outdoor event, in a marquee of 2000+ attendees. Hire, with potential to purchase. So a stacked array, possibly?! picked the vrx (at the moment) due to brand, quality and durability. If you have other other suggestions then happy to listen, or in this case... read. (Verrrrry early in planning). Hi, Yeah I have been fortunate to use VRX on numerous occasions at Merseysound Productions they sound great alone or when paired with SRX.

Did you set this rig up, I.e made use of the settings on. The back, like the attenuation depending on angles set?! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a stacked array, possibly?! picked the vrx (at the moment) due to brand, quality and durability. If you have other other suggestions then happy to listen, or in this case... read. (Verrrrry early in planning). What type of event? What will the PA be used for? Without knowing what will be going through the system and what levels are required, there's not a lot to spec a system on. To move this forward, let's assume it's a large corporate event (typical awards/speeches, then function band then DJ) with a decent sized dancefloor and lots of seating space. Firstly you'll need a distributed system to maintain even vocal/BGM coverage at comfortable levels throughout the seated part of the tent (before anything happens on the dancefloor). Let's say you're budgeting on dancefloor capacity at 25% of attendance - very ballpark, but normally about right for corporate, you're going to want a fairly meaty FOH system and looking at the 90dB sensitivity and ~120dB output/1m properties of this box, I don't see it gives you either. If flying is an option, (which would be a much better option to achieve even coverage across the dancefloor), the narrow vertical pattern of this box prohibits you dotting single cabinets around from the truss/structure. Ground stacked, a couple of stacks at the front are unlikely to cut the mustard to the back of the dancefloor. Of course, the event could be something totally different - and possibly much more demanding of a PA system than in my example, in which case I expect that VRX would be even less suitable.

carlskeats Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 L-Accoustics Kiva with SB118's could be a potential solution, Its pricey to buy but can be hired. Kiva is a small line array box with good quality sound and only weighs 13kg per box. I have used them in marquees for corporate event with bands etc. youl probably need 2 or 3 per hang so your talking including rigging about 50kg each hang, which is a lot less than youd get with the VRX's if you go with the kiva dont use the kiva sub as the drivers are too small for decent bass responce SB118's make a good companion for the kiva.
