Samson RESOUND-VX8.1 12 Portable Column Array System, 700W

Constructed of solid plywood with textured paint and steel grilles, the Resound VX8.1 from Samson is a 12" portable column array system that delivers premium sound in a sleek, easy-to-transport package. Ideal for mobile DJs, bands, singer-songwriters and other performers that require high-quality sound reinforcement, the active 700-watt system includes a 12" subwoofer with a 3-channel mixer and eight 3.5" drivers.

Arranged in a vertical column array that provides 120°–200° of horizontal coverage this portable column array system features onboard 4-presets (Music, Live, Speech, DJ) and DSP processing, the VX8.1 has what it takes to fill large rooms with stunning sound. Its 3-channel mixer includes connections for microphones, instruments and line devices. Also, backing tracks or music playback can be conveniently streamed via Bluetooth® from any mobile device.

Eight 3.5" drivers are arranged in an interlocking, 2-segment column array, coupled (via an extension segment) with a 12" subwoofer that can produce up to 130dB SPL. To ensure sound is delivered across an entire audience, the VX8.1 provides a horizontal coverage angle of 120° with the full array in center position, as well as 200° with the two array segments rotated 45° in opposite directions. Meanwhile, the system's subwoofer delivers tight low end down to 40Hz.

The VX8.1 is durable to handle from gig to gig and the system's interlocking components make setup a breeze, with no need for cables or stands. Plus, a Thru output enables the ability to integrate a second VX8.1 system and further expand your sound.
