JBL VRX915M Stage Monitor

Compact and lightweight, the VRX915M is a 15 inch two way touring-class floor monitor, with only a 14.75 inch stage height and JBL’s latest neodymium-magnet transducers. Bi-amp or full-range passive operation may be selected. The NL4 input connectors are located in the handle cups for convenient loop-thru connections to minimize cable runs on stage.

Constant Curvature Array

The VRX waveguide mounts three compression drivers on a continuous arc enabling them to work together as though they were a single driver. Power handling is dramatically increased and when multiple enclosures are used together in an array they work together seamlessly as if they were a single driver on a very long waveguide. The result: unprecedented coherence projecting the sound energy directly to the audience and stunning, clear high frequency sound quality regardless of the configuration.

Horizontal Coverage

No matter how many enclosures in a VRX array the horizontal coverage is a constant 100°. Rather than stacking and arraying systems side by side and running the risk of an inconsistent sound field as the coverage patterns overlap, with the VRX, the array is built vertically, and sound is projected from a single waveguide. With no overlapping coverage patterns, not only is the sound filed extremely consistent a great stereo image is guaranteed.

Amplitude Shading
	The Array Shading Configuration selector enables an array to be fine tuned for an even more consistent sound field. Each high-frequency section in an array can be boosted or cut. For example, the upper enclosures in an array can be boosted to project the high frequencies to the back of the venue, while the lower enclosures can be cut, shaded back for less output for the front rows of the venue.

Differential Drive Woofers

VRX uses JBL's Differential Drive woofers with dual voice-coils and neodymium magnets. Neodymium's magnetic properties allow a few ounces to replace pounds of conventional magnetic material. In the Differential Drive configuration the magnet is positioned inside the two voice coils making traditional big steel pole plates redundant, further decreasing the size and weight of the driver. The use of neodymium and the dual voice coil design delivers a very light-weight driver with massive amounts of power capacity, low distortion and reduced power compression.

Durable Construction
	VRX900 Series enclosures are constructed with premium quality birch plywood. Coated in JBL's rugged DuraFlex finish and heavily braced the systems are extremely durable, not to mention rigid and resonance free. The heavy duty steel grilles are internally lined with acoustically transparent foam to provide additional driver protection.

Simplified Rigging
Ease of set up and takedown is critical to ensuring high quality sound reinforcement that meets both time and cost restrictions. JBL’s exclusive integral rigging hardware for the VRX900's allows the enclosures to be quickly and securely locked to one another by simply swinging a hinged bar into place and securing it with the included quick release pins.
