JBL VRX932LA-1 + VRX918S GA Bundle – Passive Line Array and Subwoofer with Gas-Assist Poles

Product Overview

The JBL VRX932LA-1 + VRX918S GA Bundle is a complete passive line array and subwoofer ground stack system featuring the VRX932LA-1 12-inch 2-way line array module, the VRX918S 18-inch high-power subwoofer, and gas-assist speaker poles for effortless single-operator positioning. The VRX932LA-1 is a lightweight compact line array module designed for arrays of up to six units, and the VRX918S is a compact high-power subwoofer housing a JBL 2268H Neodymium Differential Drive 18-inch woofer in a front-loaded vented enclosure. This bundle provides scalable full-range reinforcement for corporate events, rental production, and portable commercial AV applications requiring passive line array deployment with external amplification.

Product Description

Unlike the self-powered VRX932LAP, the VRX932LA-1 is a passive line array module requiring external amplification and processing — giving system designers flexibility to specify their preferred amplifier and DSP ecosystem for the installation. The VRX918S subwoofer uses JBL's exclusive 2268H Neodymium Differential Drive 18-inch woofer in a front-loaded vented enclosure for high-power low-frequency extension matched to the VRX932LA-1 line array. The included gas-assist speaker poles use JBL's Air-Power pneumatic shock technology, allowing a single operator to raise and lower the line array cabinet with minimal effort — and the metal die-cast collars eliminate the breakage issues of plastic twist-tighten designs. This bundle supports arrays of up to six VRX932LA-1 modules per side, providing scalable coverage and SPL for medium-to-large venue applications including corporate general sessions, worship, and portable rental production.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the VRX932LA-1 and the VRX932LAP?

The VRX932LA-1 is a passive line array module requiring external amplification, while the VRX932LAP is self-powered with an integrated Crown amplifier. The passive VRX932LA-1 offers amplifier and DSP flexibility; the powered VRX932LAP offers simplified deployment without external amp racks. The VRX932LA-1 also supports arrays of up to six units versus five for the VRX932LAP.

Does this bundle include amplification?

The VRX918S subwoofer's powering should be verified per the specific bundle configuration. The VRX932LA-1 line array module is passive and requires external amplification. Contact Creation Networks for the complete amplifier and DSP recommendation for this system.
