JBL VLA-C125S-GR Dual 15" Subwoofer with Differential Drive (Gray)

JBL VLA-C125S – Dual 15" Line Array Subwoofer (Gray)

Product Overview

The JBL Professional VLA-C125S-GR is a dual 15-inch subwoofer in the VLA Compact Series, built for permanent installation in arenas, stadiums, and outdoor performance venues. It is engineered to complement the VLA-C2100 and VLA-C265 full-range modules, adding extended low-frequency reinforcement with high output and IP55 weather resistance. This listing is the gray (-GR) finish.

Product Description

The VLA-C125S-GR uses two JBL 2275H 15-inch Differential Drive® woofers, each with dual 3-inch voice coils and neodymium magnets, for deep, low-distortion bass with improved thermal management under sustained high drive levels. The system covers a frequency range of 52 Hz to 210 Hz and reaches 127 dB continuous / 133 dB peak SPL, providing the low-end foundation required for large-scale reinforcement. With 1,600 W RMS power handling (6,400 W peak) at a 4-ohm nominal impedance, it pairs efficiently with Crown DCi amplifiers featuring onboard DSP.

The enclosure is constructed from multi-layer fiberglass with internal birch plywood bracing, topped by a powder-coated 14-gauge steel grille with hydrophobic mesh, earning an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance outdoors. An integrated rigging system supports multiple inter-enclosure configurations, including cardioid operation via the optional cardioid accessory kit, which lets sound designers control low-frequency directivity and reduce unwanted rear output. The subwoofer is designed to array with other VLA Compact modules for scalable system designs. The gray finish suits venues where loudspeaker hardware should match lighter ceilings and architectural surfaces.

Key Features

• Dual 15-inch Differential Drive® woofers — dual 3-inch voice coils for deep, controlled bass.
• 52 Hz – 210 Hz frequency range — extended low-frequency foundation for large systems.
• 127 dB continuous / 133 dB peak SPL — high output for arenas and outdoor venues.
• 1,600 W RMS (6,400 W peak) at 4 ohms — efficient pairing with Crown DCi amplifiers.
• IP55-rated enclosure — fiberglass shell with powder-coated steel grille and hydrophobic mesh.
• Cardioid-capable — optional accessory kit controls low-frequency directivity.
• Integrated rigging — multiple inter-enclosure configurations for flexible arrays.
• VLA Compact Series integration — arrays with VLA-C2100 and VLA-C265 modules.
• Gray finish — blends with lighter architectural surfaces.

Typical Applications

• Arenas, stadiums, and large outdoor venues requiring high-output low frequencies.
• Low-frequency reinforcement paired with VLA-C2100 / VLA-C265 full-range arrays.
• Cardioid subwoofer arrays for controlled rear rejection.
• Permanent installations exposed to weather requiring IP55 protection.

Technical Specifications

Competitor Comparison

The VLA-C125S pairs naturally with the VLA Compact full-range modules and offers passive operation on standard Crown DCi amplification, with an optional cardioid kit for rear rejection. Compared with the native-cardioid d&b V-SUB or the single-21" L-Acoustics KS21, its dual-15" format and IP55 rating target install systems needing weather resistance and finish-matched aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which full-range modules pair with the VLA-C125S? It is designed to complement the VLA-C2100 (100°) and VLA-C265 (65°) modules within the VLA Compact Series.

Can it be configured for cardioid operation? Yes. An optional cardioid accessory kit enables cardioid arrays to control low-frequency directivity and reduce rear output.

Is it weatherproof? It carries an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, suitable for outdoor installations.

How does the gray model differ from the other finish? The BK and GR models are functionally identical; only the enclosure finish differs to match venue aesthetics.
