JBL VRX932LAP + VRX918SP GA Bundle – Powered Line Array with Gas-Assist Poles

Product Overview

The JBL VRX932LAP + VRX918SP GA Bundle is a complete powered line array and subwoofer ground stack system featuring two VRX932LAP 12-inch powered line array modules, two VRX918SP 18-inch powered subwoofers, and gas-assist speaker poles for effortless positioning. The gas-assist (GA) pole variant incorporates JBL's Air-Power technology — a pneumatic shock-assisted mechanism that allows a single operator to raise and lower the VRX932LAP cabinets with minimal effort, reducing setup time and physical strain in corporate AV, rental production, and multi-day commercial event deployments. The bundle delivers the same 1,750W Crown DrivePack DPC-2 amplification, onboard DSP, and matched JBL 2408J compression driver performance as the standard bundle — differentiated by the upgraded ergonomic speaker pole system.

Product Description

The VRX932LAP combines JBL's Neodymium Differential Drive 12-inch woofer with 3 × JBL 2408J Annular Ring Diaphragm HF compression drivers, driven by the Crown-designed DPC-2 DrivePack module (1,750W peak, DSP-based system optimization and EQ). The VRX918SP provides matched 18-inch direct-radiating powered subwoofer extension for the VRX932LAP line array system. The JBL Gas-Assist Speaker Pole (JBLPOLE-GA) uses an internal pneumatic shock to do the heavy lifting during speaker elevation — ergonomic handles provide built-in grip for guiding the raise-and-lower operation, and metal die-cast collars eliminate over-tightening and breakage issues inherent in conventional twist-tighten plastic pole designs. For commercial AV integrators and rental operators deploying the VRX system repeatedly across multiple events, the GA bundle reduces setup time and crew physical load compared to standard poles. Up to five VRX932LAP modules can be arrayed per side for increased SPL or vertical coverage in medium-large venue applications.

Key Features

• Gas-Assist Speaker Poles — Air-Power pneumatic shock mechanism allows single-operator elevation of VRX932LAP cabinets with minimal physical effort, reducing setup time in repeated commercial AV deployments.
• Complete Ground Stack Bundle — Two VRX932LAP line array modules, two VRX918SP powered subwoofers, and GA poles provide a ready-to-deploy self-contained system.
• JBL DrivePack DPC-2 Crown Amplification — 1,750W peak power with integrated Crown amplifier module and DSP-based system optimization and EQ.
• Metal Die-Cast Pole Collars — Eliminate over-tightening and breakage issues associated with plastic designs, ensuring reliable repeated assembly across commercial AV and rental deployments.
• Ergonomic Handle Design — Built-in grip on GA poles provides controlled guidance during elevation and lowering operations.
• 3 × JBL 2408J HF Compression Drivers — Current-generation Annular Ring Diaphragm technology delivers high-output, accurate high-frequency reproduction per VRX932LAP cabinet.
• VRX918SP Matched Subwoofer — 18-inch powered direct-radiating sub specifically engineered for VRX932LAP system integration.
• Scalable to 5-Unit Arrays — VRX932LAP modules array in up to five-unit configurations for increased SPL and vertical coverage control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of gas-assist poles over standard poles?

The gas-assist poles use Air-Power technology — an internal pneumatic shock mechanism — to support the weight of the VRX932LAP cabinet during elevation and lowering. A single operator can position the cabinets without heavy lifting, reducing crew requirements and physical strain in repeated commercial AV deployments. Metal die-cast collars also eliminate the breakage risk of plastic twist-tighten designs used in standard pole variants.

Is this bundle suitable for repeated rental or event production deployment?

Yes. The GA pole system is specifically designed to reduce setup time and physical effort in commercial AV rental and event production environments where the system is assembled and broken down repeatedly.

What is the difference between this GA bundle and the standard VRX932LAP + VRX918SP bundle?

The GA bundle is identical in audio specification to the standard bundle. The only difference is the speaker poles — gas-assist versus standard. Choose the GA bundle when single-operator or fast-setup deployment is a practical requirement.
