JBL Professional VLA901Hi High Output Three-Way Full Range Loudspeaker
The JBL VLA901Hi is a high-output, three-way full-range loudspeaker engineered for permanent installations requiring superior coverage, precision, and high SPL at long throw distances. Part of JBL’s Variable Line Array (VLA) Series, the VLA901Hi is designed to deliver exceptional clarity, high-impact sound reinforcement, and reliable performance for arenas, large venues, and outdoor applications.
This premium line array module features dual 15-inch Differential Drive® low-frequency drivers, four 8-inch mid-frequency drivers, and six 1.5-inch exit high-frequency compression drivers, providing a 90° nominal horizontal dispersion from 400 Hz to 16 kHz. The integration of JBL’s advanced component transducers ensures maximum output per weight, while the rugged DuraFlex™ exterior finish and optional WRC or WRX weather protections make this speaker suitable for both sheltered and direct exposure outdoor environments.
Engineered for versatility, the VLA901Hi includes 16 suspension points, allowing precise line array configurations. The enclosure is constructed of exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood with DuraFlex™ finish, ensuring durability and resilience against the demands of professional touring and installation. Its high sensitivity and multiple driver configuration deliver a coherent sound field with extended frequency response from 41 Hz to 20 kHz, achieving a maximum SPL of 149.6 dB at 1 meter.
Whether deployed as part of a large-scale array or as a standalone high-output module, the VLA901Hi provides clear, powerful audio performance. Its advanced engineering and reliable rigging system make it a preferred choice for sound designers and AV professionals seeking a robust, high-performance loudspeaker for permanent installations and high-demand venues.
