The JBL VRX 932LAP is a powered, 12-inch, two-way Line Array Loudspeaker System designed for constant curvature. It features an integrated Crown DPC-2 amplifier module and is intended for mid-size venues where quick setup and high output are required.
Key Features & Design
- Constant Curvature Waveguide: Allows multiple enclosures to be arrayed for a continuous arc, acting as a single driver for unprecedented coherence.
- Array Configuration Selector (ACS): A series of switches that allow “array shading,” enabling you to adjust the output level of each cabinet’s high-frequency section (+3 dB, 0 dB, -3 dB) based on its position in the array.
- Mounting Options: Includes an integral rigging system for suspension (up to 5 units) and a dual-angle pole socket for tripod mounting.
- Connectivity: Features XLR inputs with loop-through and Neutrik PowerCon connectors for daisy-chaining power across multiple units.
Performance & Comparison
Compared to the passive VRX 932LA-1, the LAP version is slightly heavier due to the internal amplifier and DSP, but offers the benefit of factory-optimized tuning and simplified cabling. In professional reviews, it is noted for its bright, articulate sound, though some users recommend using it with subwoofers like the VRX 918SP for full-range performance in live music settings.
