Spread Your Sound Around.
Eight 3.5" drivers are arranged in an interlocking 3-segment column array, coupled with a 12" subwoofer capable of producing up to 125dB SPL. To ensure that sound is delivered to the entire audience, the VX8.1 provides a horizontal coverage angle of 120° with the full array in the center position, as well as 200° with the two array segments rotated 45° in opposite directions. Meanwhile, the system's subwoofer delivers tight bass down to 40 Hz.

Its 3-channel mixer provides connections for microphones, instruments and line devices. You can also stream backing tracks or music playback from any mobile device via Bluetooth®. Plus, a Thru output allows you to integrate a second VX8.1 system and expand your sound even further.
