JBL VTX A12 System

The JBL VTX A12 is a high-performance dual 12-inch, three-way line array loudspeaker designed to meet the most demanding requirements of professional touring and large-scale sound reinforcement. This system stands out for its superior acoustic quality, next-generation rigging system, and road-ready construction, making it a go-to solution for front-of-house engineers, rental companies, and installation firms seeking powerful, reliable audio performance.

At the core of the VTX A12’s acoustic design are two JBL 2264H Differential Drive 12-inch woofers, engineered to deliver deep and defined low frequencies while reducing overall system weight. These are complemented by four 5.5-inch midrange drivers and three 2-inch annular diaphragm compression drivers in the high-frequency section. The combined output ensures excellent vocal clarity, precise imaging, and consistent coverage across the listening area. The system’s frequency response ranges from 46 Hz to 19 kHz, with a nominal 90-degree horizontal coverage pattern that remains constant throughout the midrange. With peak SPLs reaching 146 dB, the A12 delivers sound pressure levels capable of reaching every seat in an arena or large outdoor venue without distortion.

One of the VTX A12’s key advantages is its innovative rigging system, which simplifies the deployment process for touring crews. The patented auto-locking mechanism allows angle selection while the cabinets are still on the ground and automatically locks into place during suspension. This makes array setup faster, safer, and more efficient. The enclosure is made from premium birch plywood and coated with a durable finish to withstand the rigors of transport and outdoor use. With an IP55 weather protection rating, it is fully capable of handling environmental challenges without compromising performance.

The JBL VTX A12 integrates easily with Crown I-Tech HD amplifiers and features NL8 connectors for reliable power and signal routing. It’s compatible with JBL’s line of array frames, transport carts, and protection accessories, making it a complete and flexible system package. Whether deployed in stadiums, amphitheaters, or festival stages, the VTX A12 offers unmatched clarity, headroom, and reliability for professional live sound applications.
