FRANKFURT, Germany – HARMAN’s JBL Professional today announced the introduction
of its VTX Vertical Transporters, three rolling transporter frames that
facilitate the transport of JBL VTX Series line array models for portable tour
sound applications. The new transporters include the VTX-V25-VT and VTX-S28-VT
for the V25 line array speaker and S28 subwoofer, respectively, and the advanced
VTX-V25-VTT tiltable transporter for use with V25. In addition, the VTX-VT-FL
forklift adapter is available for use with either VTX-V25-VT or VTX-S28-VT
transporters.
The
VTX-V25-VT vertical transporter is designed to transport up to four V25 line
array loudspeakers and provides a cost-effective option for transporting blocks
of V25 enclosures that are used for the upper, relatively flat portions of a
variable curvature line array. Supplied in pairs, two VTX-V25-VT caster plates
or “transporter skates” attach to the underside of the lower V25 speaker via
the V25’s built-in suspension frame hardware. The lightweight transporter
skates provide faster, more streamlined operation than conventional transporter
grids and a convenient sliding handle feature allows the individual VTX-V25-VT
skates to be located on either side of the bottom enclosure prior to securing
with integral quick release pins.
The
VTX-S28-VT transporter functions in a similar manner as the VTX-V25-VT and can
be used to move up to three S28 subwoofers in either front-firing or reverse
cardioid mode. Conditioning S28 enclosures in blocks of 3 is ideal from a
circuiting point of view when powering subwoofers using Crown Audio
VRack12000HD amplifier racks.
The
VTX-V25-VT and VTX-S28-VT vertical transporters can both be used with the
optional, removable VTX-VT-FL forklift adapter. The VTX-VT-FL is compatible
with either vertical transporter and provides two slots that enable a forklift
to lift VTX-V25-VT or VTX-S28-VT vertical transporters loaded with four V25 or
three S28 enclosures, respectively.
The
JBL VTX-V25-VTT Vertical Tiltable Transporter is intended for transporting
blocks of V25 enclosures that are used for the lower, high curvature portions
of a variable curvature line array (typically the bottom four cabinets). A
unique tilting system allows all four enclosures mounted on the VTT to be
physically tilted by up to -45 degrees, facilitating attachment of the VTT
enclosure block to the upper enclosures that have been previously suspended
during the setup process. The VTX-V25-VTT features integral forklift adapter
slots, locking tilt adjustment arms and folds down flat for convenient storage
when not in use.
All
VTX vertical transporters feature tour grade casters with locking brakes for
secure, reliable operation. Optional, reinforced protective covers are
available for all VTX vertical transporters. Modular VTX-V25-VT and VTX-V25-VTT
covers are adjustable to accommodate three or four V25 enclosures and the
VTX-S28-VT cover can be used with three S28 enclosures in either front firing
or cardioid configuration.
“The
new VTX vertical transporters make it convenient and easy to move and set up a
VTX line array system,” said Paul Bauman, Senior Manager, Tour Sound, JBL
Professional. “They’re a welcome addition to any tour sound company’s VTX
inventory and we are confident that these accessories will significantly
streamline load in/out and installation operations.”
