Column Coverage
Eight 3.5" drivers are arranged in an interlocking, 2-segment column array, coupled (via an extension segment) with a 12" subwoofer that can produce up to 130dB SPL. To ensure sound is delivered across an entire audience, the VX8.1 provides a horizontal coverage angle of 120° with the full array in center position, as well as 200° with the two array segments rotated 45° in opposite directions. Meanwhile, the system's subwoofer delivers tight low end down to 40Hz.
Power and Connection
Featuring a lightweight Class D amplifier that delivers 700 watts of power to the system (350W Sub / 350W Array), not to mention onboard 4-preset (Music, Live, Speech, DJ) DSP processing, the VX8.1 has what it takes to fill large rooms with stunning sound. Its 3-channel mixer includes connections for microphones, instruments and line devices. Also, backing tracks or music playback can be conveniently streamed via Bluetooth® from any mobile device.
Gig Ready
Constructed of solid plywood with textured paint and steel grilles, the VX8.1 is durable to handle from gig to gig. In addition, the system's interlocking components make setup a breeze, with no need for cables or stands. Plus, a Thru output enables the ability to integrate a second VX8.1 system and further expand your sound.
Even though it's 2 channels and you can rotate the columns, you can't pan with a mixer!
Aside from not being able to pan, the sound is excellent and crystal clear. Very easy to use and built like a tank! Also not hard to transport. If not for the panning issue I would give it 5 stars.

Sound is SUPER Clean!
This speaker system shattered my expectations. First, all aspects of the sound is CLEAN; Bass hits nicely, and mids to highs are so clear. Used this single system for ~20 person party playing music and karaoke and everyone had positive remarks. Am very pleased with this product!

Great sound and fairly powerful.
I use just one unit for the time being for small public address situations and music. Has fairly decent low end. I use a mixer with it so I haven't plugged direct into it other than Bluetooth which worked great. I would buy again.
