VQ 60The VQ 60 is a full range, three-way loudspeaker system designed for applications which require very high output capability with class leading pattern control. The VQ 60 is perfectly suited for use in arrays or singly in demanding music or speech applications. Unlike line array solutions, the VQ 60 can produce enough power and clarity to be used individually maintaining your building's aesthetics. With low frequency extension to 90Hz, the VQ 60 can be combined with various subwoofers for extended bandwidth. The VQ 60 can be configured for use in Bi-Amp or Tri-Amp mode, in conjunction with a suitable digital signal processor (DSP). 
VQ 60
Horn design involves balancing compromise…..until now.
Our unique approach in keeping what is effectively a Dual Concentric behind a single horn gives us many performance advantages. Performance of the VQ 60 in terms of accuracy & sound quality is second to none. The VQ horn design principles provide definitive and measurable advantages over multiple-horn and co-axial designs.
The VQ 60 incorporates a unique driver technology to radiate a coherent single point source for superior dispersion control when coupled to a PSW™ (Point Source Waveguide). This advanced design aligns the acoustical centres of the transducers providing a single coherent wavefront emanating from the throat. The PSW™ waveguide achieves an optimum balance of extremely well controlled coverage, smooth frequency response, and natural sound character. The low frequency section, two (12”) low frequency transducers, offers high power handling and low power compression for high continuous SPL capability.
For outdoor applications, weather resistant enclosures which incorporate stainless steel hardware are available.
Features
• “PSW™ Waveguide” - Point source design (Patent applied for). • Modular Design • Excellent Phase Coherence • Perfect time alignment without the associated problems of multi source interference • Compact Dimensions • Class leading directivity characteristics • Extremely high sensitivity, therefore high SPL’s can be achieved with a very modest amount of amplifier power • Exceptional transient response

VQ 60Tannoy has commissioned NWAA Labs, an independent laboratory providing uniform product testing of loudspeakers and materials to the audio and acoustics industry, to undertake an extensive specification verification programme for its loudspeaker products. With eighty years experience in the manufacture of loudspeakers Tannoy is justifiably proud of the audio performance of their acoustic technologies, such as the point source, constant directivity Dual Concentric™ driver. As one of the worlds leading manufacturers of premium quality loudspeakers we are fully confident in our product performance and the veracity of our internally generated specifications and performance data. However, we are delighted now to have established an ongoing working relationship with NWAA Labs; one that enables us to present an independently verified folio of technical data for each product, eliminating the need for this to be repeatedly commissioned by consultants and specifiers across the world.  Unlike any other laboratory in the world, NWAA Labs has the ability to do MACH™ Testing (Multi Angle Computerised High-speed Testing™) to meet ISO and ASTM standards. Based just north of Los Angeles, California, the laboratory facilities include an anechoic chamber and two reverberation chambers uniquely fitted with the MACH™ Testing system.
Led by former NASA design engineer and scientist, Ron Sauro, the NWAA Labs team combines the talents of well-respected researchers, acousticians and consultants to provide unmatched state-of-the-art testing. Well known in the audio and acoustics industry as a consultant and a member of the EASE and EASERA computer software development team, Ron brings over 20 years of field experience to the company. MACH™ Testing and what it delivers:
Originally developed by NASA in 1968 for use in testing the Pioneer, Explorer and Voyager spacecrafts in addition to the manned Apollo lunar program, the MACH™ Testing method has been reformulated into a revolutionary process for evaluating loudspeakers and materials. This cross-pollination of technology from the realm of space research to the world of sound and acoustics research has produced a high-speed testing system unlike any other. The new MACH™ testing method uses a proprietary array comprised of 19 matched microphones and a precision turntable capable of one tenth degree accuracy. It simultaneously samples impulse responses within an anechoic chamber and uses these to create loudspeaker radiation balloons in a fraction of the time used by other testing methods. This data is gathered by a multi-channel version of EASERA, using appropriate stimuli, and then is converted to EASE V4, EASE V3, CLF 1 and 2 formats for distribution to consultants and specifiers.
All the EASE and CLF data, plus the certified specification files, can be accessed by going to the main site downloads section or clicking the download tab on this product page.
