Product Overview
The Tannoy VX 12Q is a 12-inch PowerDual full range loudspeaker engineered for high-SPL, low-distortion sound reinforcement in medium-to-large commercial and live spaces. Its point-source PowerDual driver and Q-Centric waveguide deliver controlled 75-degree by 40-degree coverage, making it well suited to installed sound systems, portable PA, and front-of-house reinforcement. The cabinet supports both passive full-range and bi-amp operation for flexible AV system integration.
Product Description

The VX 12Q combines a 305 mm PowerDual transducer with a Q-Centric waveguide to produce point-source phase coherence and tight pattern control, giving AV integrators predictable coverage when arraying or aiming cabinets. With 350 W continuous and 1,400 W peak power handling and rated maximum SPL up to 129 dB peak in passive mode, it delivers the output headroom required for bars, clubs, and mid-scale live reinforcement. The defined 75-degree horizontal by 40-degree vertical dispersion supports front-of-house, floor monitor, and side-fill roles, and the cabinet can be reconfigured for bi-amp operation when greater system control is needed. A vented and internally braced birch plywood enclosure finished in hard-wearing semi-matt black paint stands up to the demands of permanent installation and touring use alike. Eight M10 flying inserts in portrait or landscape orientation, M10 yoke-bracket inserts, and a blanking plate for an optional VTH pole mount give designers multiple rigging and stand-mount options. Neutrik speakON NL4 and barrier-strip connectors handle input and link-through wiring for straightforward daisy-chaining. Integrip handles at the top and bottom ease handling and deployment. Browse the full Tannoy loudspeaker collection at Creation Networks to pair the VX 12Q with amplifiers and accessories. For a fixed-coverage alternative, compare the VX 12Q-WH in white.
Key Features
- 12-inch PowerDual Driver — A single 305 mm PowerDual transducer provides point-source phase coherence for natural, coherent full-range reproduction.
- Q-Centric Waveguide — The waveguide enables tighter vertical or horizontal pattern control, helping integrators direct sound precisely within a room.
- Controlled 75° x 40° Coverage — The defined conical dispersion delivers consistent coverage and forward projection for front-of-house and fill duties.
- High SPL Output — 350 W continuous and 1,400 W peak power handling support rated maximum SPL up to 129 dB peak for demanding high-SPL venues.
- Bi-Amp Configurable — The cabinet can be reconfigured from passive full-range to bi-amp operation for greater processing and system control.
- Flexible Rigging Options — Eight M10 flying inserts, yoke-bracket inserts, and a VTH pole-mount blanking plate support portrait, landscape, flown, and stand-mount installs.
- Braced Plywood Enclosure — A vented, internally braced birch plywood cabinet with semi-matt black finish withstands installed and portable use.
- Professional Connectors — Neutrik speakON NL4 and barrier-strip terminals provide input and link output for reliable daisy-chaining.
