JBL VTX V25-II or VTX V25-II CS

JBL VTX V25-II and V25-II-CS are large-format line array loudspeakers designed to deliver exceptional output, clarity, and flexibility for high-demand touring and installation environments. Both models feature the same powerful acoustic design, utilizing dual 15-inch Differential Drive low-frequency transducers, four 8-inch midrange drivers, and three high-frequency compression drivers based on JBL’s advanced D2 dual-diaphragm, dual-voice coil technology. This combination ensures smooth frequency response, high efficiency, and excellent projection across the full spectrum. The system offers a frequency range that extends deep into the low end while maintaining detailed mids and crystal-clear highs, making it an excellent choice for large-scale concerts, festivals, and arena installations where consistent coverage and maximum SPL are required.

Where the two versions differ is in the rigging system. The standard JBL V25-II uses a more traditional rigging and suspension design, ideal for permanent installs or situations where arrays are flown less frequently. The V25-II-CS, on the other hand, incorporates JBL’s advanced Compression Suspension (CS) rigging system, which allows for more efficient transport, faster deployment, and improved safety when flying large arrays. The CS version is particularly attractive for touring companies or productions that need to assemble and dismantle complex systems on a regular basis, as it simplifies the process and saves valuable setup time without compromising acoustic performance. Despite these differences in suspension and rigging, both models share identical acoustic specifications and output capabilities, delivering the same performance once deployed.

In terms of performance, these systems are capable of producing extremely high SPL while maintaining linearity and low distortion. The wide horizontal coverage pattern makes them ideal for large audiences, and the design allows scalable configurations ranging from smaller arrays to massive systems with dozens of cabinets. Both versions integrate seamlessly with JBL subs, such as the VTX S28 or G28, to deliver extended low-frequency reinforcement. The choice between the V25-II and the V25-II-CS largely depends on the application: for permanent venues, the standard version may be sufficient, while for touring and frequent re-rigging, the CS model offers a clear logistical advantage. Either way, both are considered among the top-tier line array systems in the industry, trusted for their power, clarity, and reliability.
