Tannoy QFLEX 32-WP Digitally Steerable Powered Column Array Loudspeaker (Weather Protected) - TA-QFLEX 32WP SYSTEM-WH

Product Overview

The Tannoy QFLEX 32-WP digitally steerable powered column array loudspeaker provides electronically aimed speech and music reinforcement for installed applications with challenging acoustics. This steerable column array speaker directs coverage to distant listeners without physical re-aiming, making it well suited to houses of worship, transportation hubs, convention centres, and performing arts centres. At the heart of the system is the proprietary VNET loudspeaker networking platform, combining software and hardware DSP for high speech intelligibility, music reinforcement, and complete system diagnostics and monitoring.

Product Description

The QFLEX 32-WP integrates sixteen 3-inch low-frequency drivers and sixteen 1-inch high-frequency drivers with individual 100-watt Class D amplifiers and integrated DSP across 32 channels of steering control. The high-density transducer layout uses proportional frequency spacing to prevent aliasing artefacts and extend beam control down to 400 Hz. Through the intuitive BeamEngine GUI, AV system designers create asymmetric coverage patterns and balance near-field and far-field SPL with class-leading vertical steering of plus or minus 70 degrees, variable between 10 and 100 degrees. The frequency range spans 130 Hz to 20 kHz with a 120-degree horizontal dispersion, and the array is rated for a typical application distance of 50 m (165 feet). It is fully PA/VA compliant for voice alarm and life-safety roles, and AES3 input and link connections on RJ-45 connectors provide sample rate conversion up to 96 kHz. Accessory options support constant-voltage systems, Audinate Dante digital audio networks, Ethernet control, and an AES3 break-in interface. The architecturally styled aluminium enclosure carries a semi matt white painted finish with a corrosion-resistant perforated aluminium grille, and included custom brackets allow quick, accurate installation.

Key Features

• Digital Beam Steering — Class-leading vertical steering of plus or minus 70 degrees, variable from 10 to 100 degrees, aims coverage precisely without tilting the loudspeaker.
• 32-Channel DSP and Amplification — Thirty-two channels of integrated DSP drive individual 100-watt Class D amplifiers for each transducer for fine pattern control.
• High-Density Transducer Array — Sixteen 3-inch low-frequency drivers and sixteen 1-inch high-frequency drivers with proportional spacing prevent aliasing and extend steering across the band.
• BeamEngine GUI — The BeamEngine software creates asymmetric patterns and even near-field and far-field SPL coverage across the audience.
• Long-Throw Coverage — Rated for a typical application distance of 50 m (165 feet), suiting reverberant and tall venues.
• VNET Networking — The proprietary VNET platform links the array to other Tannoy VNET-enabled products for unified DSP, diagnostics, and monitoring.
• PA/VA Compliant — Full PA/VA compliance supports voice alarm and public address life-safety systems.
• Flexible Inputs — AES3 on RJ-45 with sample rate conversion to 96 kHz, plus accessory options for constant-voltage, Dante, Ethernet control, and AES3 break-in.
• 10-Year Warranty Program — Backed by Tannoy's 10-Year Warranty Program and designed and engineered in the U.K.

Typical Applications

• House of worship
• Auditorium
• Government space
• Multi-purpose room
• Commercial meeting space

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the QFLEX 32-WP steer sound without moving the loudspeaker?
Its integrated DSP independently controls each transducer, electronically aiming the beam plus or minus 70 degrees with vertical dispersion variable from 10 to 100 degrees. The BeamEngine GUI sets asymmetric or multiple beams to match the room.

Can it integrate with a Dante AV network?
Yes. Accessory options support Audinate Dante digital audio networks, constant-voltage systems, Ethernet control, and an AES3 break-in interface, with AES3 input and link on RJ-45 at up to 96 kHz.

What coverage distance and SPL can I expect?
The QFLEX 32-WP has a typical application distance of 50 m (165 feet) and a maximum SPL of 100 dB at 100 ft (30 m), with a 120-degree horizontal dispersion.

What is the frequency range?
The system covers 130 Hz to 20 kHz, with beam control extending down to 400 Hz for consistent pattern control across the speech and music range.

Can it serve a voice alarm or public address system?
Yes. The system is fully PA/VA compliant, so it can fill life-safety voice alarm and public address roles alongside music and speech reinforcement.

What warranty and support are available?
The QFLEX 32-WP is covered by Tannoy's 10-Year Warranty Program. Contact Creation Networks for project design assistance, integration guidance, and a quote.
