Tannoy VSX215B Horn Loaded Passive Subwoofer (Black) - TA-VSX215B-BK

Product Overview

The Tannoy VSX215B is a horn-loaded dual 15-inch passive subwoofer engineered for high-output low-frequency reinforcement in clubs, theatres and large commercial AV systems. Rated at 2,000 watts continuous and 8,000 watts peak, it extends usable response to 40 Hz while maintaining the efficiency needed for high-SPL music and speech playback. As a fixed-install and touring subwoofer, the VSX215B pairs with full-range Tannoy systems to anchor the bottom end of demanding sound reinforcement designs.

Product Description

The VSX215B uses an extremely efficient horn-loaded design driven by two 15-inch (381 mm) low-frequency transducers to produce maximum sound pressure with controlled, articulate bass. Its internally braced plywood enclosure is finished in a hard-wearing semi-matt black paint with a powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille for durability in both fixed and portable deployments. The cabinet provides integral M10 rigging points and ergonomically integrated side handles, simplifying flown arrays and ground-stacked configurations alike. Connection is handled by Neutrik speakON NL4 and barrier strip terminals supporting both parallel (4 ohm) and discrete (2 x 8 ohm) wiring, giving system designers flexibility when configuring amplifier channels. With a recommended low-pass crossover of 90 to 250 Hz, the VSX215B integrates cleanly beneath full-range loudspeakers in theatres, clubs and multi-purpose performance venues. It is well suited to foreground music playback where extended, low-distortion bass underpins the program material. The subwoofer is designed and engineered in the U.K. and is covered by Tannoy's 10-Year Warranty Program.
