Overview

The VQ 60 is a full range, self-powered, three-way loudspeaker system designed for applications which require very high output capability with class leading patten control. The VQ 60 is perfectly suited for use in arrays or singly in demanding applications. Unlike line array solutions, the VQ 60 can produce enough power and clarity to be used individually, or in paired clusters for wider coverage, maintaining your building’s aesthetics and sight lines. With low frequency extension to 90 Hz, the VQ 60 can be combined with various subwoofers From the VSX series for extended bandwidth.

Features

Comprehensive Installation Package
The VQ 60 can be configured for use in Bi-Amp or Tri-Amp mode, in conjunction with a Lake LM26/44 digital signal processor (DSP) or Lab Gruppen PLM+ or D series platforms, with factory pre-sets from Lake Load Library.
Exceptional Sound and Reliability
Our unique approach in keeping what is effectively a Dual Concentric behind a single ho gives us many performance advantages. Performance of the VQ 60 in terms of accuracy & sound quality is second to none. The VQ horn design principles provide definitive and measurable advantages over multiple-horn and co-axial designs. The VQ 60 incorporates a unique driver technology to radiate a coherent single point source for superior dispersion control when coupled to a PSW (Point Source Waveguide). This advanced design aligns the acoustical centres of the transducers providing a single coherent wavefront emanating from the throat. The PSW waveguide achieves an optimum balance of extremely well controlled coverage, smooth frequency response, and natural sound character. The low frequency section, two (12") low frequency transducers, offers high power handling and low power compression for high continuous SPL capability.
