The VTX F12 and F15 loudspeakers feature the large-format JBL D2 dual diaphragm dual driver employed in the VTX V25 fullsize line array loudspeaker and the M2 Master Reference Monitor. All F Series models also feature JBL’s lightweight, high-power Differential Drive™ transducer technology.
The F Series is named for five key features:
1) Fill: For point-and-shoot fill such as stacked stereo in-fill/out-fill, the F12 and F15 are an excellent sound design complement to VTX V25 due to the sonic consistency provided by common large-format D2 driver technology.
2) Flexible: Pole mount and suspension options allow F Series to be used in a wide variety of distributed fill configurations for corporate/industrial applications such as ballroom delay rings and trade show booths. The F Series is a versatile sound design tool.
3) FOH (Front of House): Standalone (pole-mounted) or when paired with the F18S subwoofer, the F12 and F15 can be used as a premium-quality, compact format front-of-house or sidefill monitoring system.
4) Floor Monitor: With their clean lines, high-performance components and dedicated V5 processing, F-Series loudspeakers are perfectly suited for demanding tour sound stage monitoring requirements.
5) Firehouse: The F Series is a design collaboration between JBL Professional and the world-renowned Firehouse Productions of Red Hook, New York. Essentially, the VTX F Series is a premium transducer upgrade of a tried-and-tested design that has always delivered for Firehouse Productions and its most demanding tour sound clients.
