The blackTannoy VLS 15is a passive column array loudspeaker designed for background/foreground music and speech reproduction in both indoor and outdoor settings. The speaker offers an EN 54-24 rating, making it compatible with European fire detection and alarm systems. In addition, its IP65 rating for dust and water resistance makes it well suited for use in challenging architectural spaces such as indoor pools and saunas as well as other work areas with high moisture and dust levels including transportation centers, theme parks, and hotels.
The VLS 15 offers 800W peak and 400W RMS power handling. The enclosure houses a total of 15 drivers: eight 1″ high-frequency drivers and seven 3.5″ low-frequency driversserving up a peak SPL of 120 dB. The loudspeaker’s FAST (Focused Asymmetrical Shaping Technology) is designed to deliver even and precise coverage, gently oriented toward downward so the speaker requires less tilting for optimal mounting, even enabling flush mounting for a sleek, refined appearance.
