Introduction to the JBL VRX932LA-1

The JBL VRX932LA-1 is a compact, high-output line array element designed for small to medium-sized touring and installed sound systems. As part of the VRX Series, it delivers professional-grade audio in a lightweight, easy-to-rig package. Whether you're equipping a live music venue, a house of worship, or a mobile DJ setup, understanding this speaker's capabilities helps you make an informed investment.

Key Specifications

The VRX932LA-1 features a 12-inch differential drive woofer and three 1.75-inch neodymium compression drivers mounted on a patented constant curvature waveguide. This configuration provides a nominal 100° horizontal coverage and a vertical coverage that depends on the number of cabinets in the array. The speaker handles 800 watts continuous power (1600 watts program) and offers a frequency response of 75 Hz to 20 kHz. Its 8-ohm impedance makes it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers.

Performance and Applications

Thanks to its line array design, the VRX932LA-1 delivers consistent coverage and high SPL with minimal distortion. It excels in applications where speech intelligibility and musical clarity are critical:

  • Live music clubs and bars
  • Corporate AV presentations
  • Houses of worship
  • Theatres and auditoriums
  • Mobile DJ and event production

The cabinet is constructed from 18 mm plywood with a durable black textured finish and includes a steel grille. It can be flown using the optional VRX932LA-AF array frame or pole-mounted with a compatible subwoofer.
