VT-20
« on: March 26, 2014, 08:36:02 PM »

Does anyone have any experience with the JBL VTX VT-20 boxes? I currently run a 4888 rig and was thinking about an upgrade or simply expanding on what I already have. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Tom,

No personal experience with the VT-20, but the 110 degree dispersion may be a bit wider than you would find useful.

If those are "JLB degrees" it's really 90 at least above 3k, based on my VerTec experience.

As of about a month ago the presets weren't finished for the VT20.  I heard them with what they had, but I can't comment on the sound since the processing wasn't complete.   And, although I didn't whip out my protractor, I was impressed by the wide coverage pattern.

The company I work for just purchased 56 V 20. They sound amazining. The rigging is great. They transport 4 tall on a cart.

The D2 drivers are real beasts. They can deliver a lot more high end than the usual suspects, especially above 10kHz. I haven't heard the V20, but the V25 is really an improvement compared with the VerTec. The V20 is a size previously not offered in the VerTec range. So it depends on what you're trying to replace...

I would be replacing a Vertec 4888 rig. How do the V20s compare?

How do they compare to the Vertec 4888? SPL etc..
Thank you

Shiny.  New.  Better horizontal coverage.  Better top octave.  Better rigging.  Probably louder, too.

Get a demo rig, you're about to spend 200 large...

I don't know aout louder: It's smaller, smaller speakers, power handling seems the same. It would be surprising if it was louder by the module.
