The VQ100 is a full range, three-way loudspeaker system designed for applications which require high output capability with class leading pattern control. The VQ100 features a wide and exceptionally well defined dispersion characteristic.

For a variety of uses, a single VQ100 can produce more power and clarity over it’s 100 degree beamwidth area than many arrayed solutions using multiple cabinets, a great advantage when considering your building aesthetics.

With low frequency extension to 90Hz, the VQ100 can be combined with various subwoofers for extended bandwidth. The VQ100 can be configured for use in Bi-Amp or Tri-Amp mode, in conjunction with a suitable digital signal processor (DSP).
