Tannoy VX 8.2 Passive 8" 2-Way Full-Range Loudspeaker (White)

Tannoy TVX82 Overview

Optimized for both installed and portable applications in a range of environments, the white VX 8.2 Loudspeaker from Tannoy employs the same VX-series point source technology found in the rest of the VX line, albeit with powerful 800W peak 8" drivers for an incredibly precise 90° conical dispersion. Ideal for a wide range of sound reinforcement scenarios, especially those centered around the human voice, the VX 8.2 offers an excellent size-to-power ratio.

With one 8" full-range driver sporting optimal point-source phase coherence and an 8" LF driver for enhanced bass response, exceptional clarity and definition can be attained. Dynamic high-frequency crossover protection ensures protection of your drivers and the ears of your audience without the need for intervention. Neutrik speakON NL4 and barrier strip I/O are provided for input and link connections to further loudspeakers. Intergrip handles on the top and bottom allow for easy, ergonomic handling during installs, and numerous insert points allow for flexible mounting, whether flown or surface mounted. The VX 8.2 includes a blanking plate for covering an optional VTH pole mount socket, allowing you to mount the VX 8.2 atop a subwoofer in portable PA systems.

Ideal for Vocal Clarity

The VX 8.2 is a new concept for this type of device, adding new capabilities to the range with its exceptional acoustic clarity, definition and all round acoustical performance. Boasting an exceptional performance-to-size ratio, VX 8.2 provides a compact, yet punchy and sonically articulate solution for medium scale performance sound reinforcement as well as high-performance speech reproduction where clarity and vocal character are paramount. The versatile twin driver design and mounting options also make the VX 8.2, due to acoustic matching with the wider range of VX Series models, perfectly capable components within much larger installations.

Dual-Concentric Driver

The 800W 8" version of TANNOY's VX Series point source loudspeakers, VX 8.2's constant directivity Dual-Concentric drive unit technology ensures high power output with high sensitivity and exceptional efficiency. VX 8.2 delivers precise 90° dispersion for optimum coverage, exceptional forward gain, plus the added benefit of improved low-mid extension from the twin driver configuration. An additional 8" low-frequency driver is employed to provide extended bass response.

Performance Applications

VX 8.2's trapezoidal enclosure design provides a multitude of placement options including: installed performance sound reinforcement, medium scale FOH, floor monitor, high SPL delay, and more. A blanking plate for optional VTH pole mounting is provided for placement atop a subwoofer in portable PA applications.

An extensive range of optional VX 8.2 high-performance steel mounting hardware (available separately) includes a horizontal yoke bracket, and Omnimount spaced inserts for wall and ceiling installation.
