TECHNOLOGY
REFINED RBI WAVEGUIDE
Improved Horizontal Coverage
JBL’s patented Radiation Boundary Integrator combines the high frequency and mid-range sections of the VTX V20 so the transition across each band is uninterrupted, undistorted and seamless.

DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE® TECHNNOLOGY
Enhanced Performance and Dramatically Reduced Driver Weight

JBL’s exclusive dual voice coil, dual magnetic gap Differential Drive technology is at the core of all VTX models, dramatically reducing driver weight while greatly enhancing all critical performance parameters: frequency response, power output and distortion.

ACCESSORIES
VTX-V20-AF ARRAY FRAME

Array Frame used for suspending or ground stacking VTX V20 or VTX S25 enclosures. Includes height-adjustable leveling feet, optional extension bar available.
Features:

  • Compatible with VTX V20 and VTX S25
  • 11 pick points available for single point suspension
  • Flexible front-to-back or side-by-side pick point options
  • Supports up to 24 cabinets (array geometry dependent)

VTX-V20-AF-EB EXTENSION BAR

Extension Bar accessory used in conjunction with the VTX-V20-AF array frame for deploying VTX V20 systems in either compression or tension mode. Five extension bar attachment options provide variable pick point separation (2-point suspension) and added flexibility for single point suspension. The extension bar can be front or rear-mounted for increased array up-tilt or down-tilt, respectively. When rear-mounted, provides an attachment point for compression suspension. A single extension bar can be installed in the array frame central tube, or alternatively, a pair of extension bars can be front or rear-mounted in left/right array frame tubes. Single or dual extension bars can also be front or rear-mounted in Ground Stack applications for extra stability and a wider range of array tilt angle options.
Included:

  • 1 x VTX-V20-AF-EB
  • 1 x Adjustable leveling foot used for ground stacking applications
  • 2 x Quick Release Pins (QRP) for securing the extension bar to the array frame

VTX-V20-PB PULL BACK ACCESSORY

Pull Back accessory for attachment to bottom V20 enclosure to facilitate compression suspension of VTX V20 arrays. Compression can be implemented using a separate chain motor and suspension point (Rear Motor Pullback) or by using an optional VTX-V20-LH chain lever hoist or chain motor that is attached to the VTX-V20-AF-EB extension bar (Extension Bar Pullback).
Included:

  • Central pullback bar including two captive Quick Release Pins (QRPs) on lanyards
  • Two left/right adapter brackets for connection to the bottom VTX V20 cabinet and the central spreader bar
  • 2 x 5/8” shackles for attaching spreader bar to chain bridle
  • 1 x 18” dual leg chain bridle with locking safety hooks and upper master link for attachment of compression device
