Know before you buy
Yes, while it is specifically engineered for seamless integration with the VRX928LA-WH, it functions as a high-performance standalone subwoofer that can be paired with a wide range of professional satellite speakers.
The white DuraFlex™ finish is designed for durability in permanent indoor installations. While it is rugged, it is not rated for direct exposure to harsh weather conditions, so it should be protected if used outdoors.
The subwoofer features a switch that allows you to select between +1/-1 or +2/-2 pin configurations on the Neutrik Speakon connectors. This provides flexibility in how you route your audio signal, especially when running multiple cabinets on a single amplifier channel.
Yes, the unit includes a built-in pole socket on the top panel, allowing you to securely mount a satellite speaker using a standard speaker pole.
This subwoofer has a continuous power rating of 800W and a peak rating of 3200W. To get the best performance and headroom, we recommend an amplifier capable of delivering at least 800W to 1600W into a 4-ohm load.
Yes, the VRX915S features integral rigging hardware designed for array connection. This allows you to easily integrate it into a flown or ground-stacked array system with compatible JBL components.
