Tannoy VXP 12-UL 12" Dual Concentric Powered Sound Reinforcement Loudspeaker (Black) - TA-VXP12-BK

Product Overview

The Tannoy VXP 12 12-inch Dual Concentric powered loudspeaker is a compact, self-powered point-source system for portable and installed sound reinforcement. Built around a 12-inch Dual Concentric driver with 1,600 watts of LAB GRUPPEN Class-D amplification, this powered loudspeaker delivers punchy, articulate output for small-scale performance reinforcement, high-intelligibility speech, and demanding background music applications. Its twin-driver point-source design and flexible mounting make it well suited to front-of-house, floor monitor, and side-fill roles in auditoriums, houses of worship, conference rooms, and multi-purpose venues.

Product Description

The VXP 12 centres on a 12-inch Dual Concentric full-range driver that places the high-frequency unit at the acoustic centre of the low-frequency cone, producing point-source phase coherence for clear, natural vocal reproduction. LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA Class-D amplification provides high output with high sensitivity and efficiency in a compact cabinet, and a switchable full-range or high-pass filter lets integrators tailor low-frequency behaviour when pairing the box with subwoofers. The system handles 400 watts continuous and 1,600 watts peak in passive mode, with a maximum SPL of 125 dB continuous and 131 dB peak, and it can be switched between passive and bi-amp operation to match the amplification and DSP scheme. The vented, internally braced 18 mm plywood enclosure is finished in hard-wearing semi matt black paint with a powder-coated perforated steel grille. Fully balanced input and link output run on Neutrik XLR connectors, while a Neutrik powerCON provides a secure locking mains connection. Mounting is flexible thanks to eight M10 flying inserts for portrait or landscape orientation, eight M10 yoke bracket inserts, two Integrip handles, and a blanking plate for the optional VTH pole mount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the VXP 12 an active or passive loudspeaker?
It is a self-powered (active) loudspeaker with onboard 1,600-watt LAB GRUPPEN IDEEA Class-D amplification, so no external amplifier is required.

What makes the Dual Concentric driver suitable for speech?
The Dual Concentric design places the high-frequency unit at the acoustic centre of the low-frequency cone, giving point-source coherence and clear, natural vocal reproduction for high-intelligibility speech.

How do I connect it in a system?
Fully balanced input and link output use Neutrik XLR connectors, with a Neutrik powerCON locking mains connection, plus speakON NL4 and barrier strip terminals for flexible wiring.

Can it be paired with a subwoofer?
Yes. The switchable high-pass filter mode lets you roll off the low end when adding a subwoofer, or run full-range when used standalone.

How is it mounted?
The cabinet provides eight M10 flying inserts for portrait or landscape mounting, eight M10 yoke bracket inserts, two Integrip handles, and a blanking plate for the optional VTH pole mount.

What warranty and support are available?
The VXP 12 is covered by Tannoy's 10-Year Warranty Program. Contact Creation Networks for system design assistance and a project quote.
