Weather-Resistant Line Array Speaker For Outdoor And Indoor Sound
The Yamaha VXL1B-16-WR is a slim-profile, high-performance line array loudspeaker designed to deliver powerful, clear sound in both outdoor and indoor environments. Built to withstand exposure to dust and moisture, this IP55-rated model is ideal for use in theme parks, sports facilities, outdoor event spaces, and other venues where durability is just as important as audio quality.
Rugged Build For Harsh Environments
Equipped with 16 waterproofed 1.5-inch full-range drivers, the VXL1B-16-WR maintains exceptional sound clarity while resisting the elements. The robust enclosure and weather-sealed components make it a reliable choice for permanent installations where environmental conditions can challenge conventional speakers.
Slim Design For Unobtrusive Installation
Measuring just 54 mm in width, this loudspeaker offers a discreet appearance that integrates seamlessly into architectural designs. Despite its slim build, the line array configuration ensures focused projection with minimal vertical dispersion, making it possible to deliver clear speech and music even to distant areas without excessive reflection.
Flexible Mounting And Positioning Options
For secure installation, Yamaha offers the PWMB-L1-WR stainless steel outdoor mounting bracket, allowing up to 180° horizontal adjustment and up to 10° vertical tilt for the 16-driver model. This flexibility ensures optimal aiming for maximum coverage, whether the speaker is installed as a standalone unit or paired with others.
Selectable Vertical Coverage Patterns
The VXL1B-16-WR provides a rear-panel switch to adjust vertical dispersion to match the venue’s acoustic needs. Normal mode offers a 17° vertical spread (8.5° up and down), while Wide mode expands to 22° (11° up and down). This adjustability allows installers to fine-tune coverage based on the speaker’s mounting height and the audience layout.
Wide Horizontal Coverage With High Output
With a horizontal coverage angle of 170° and a frequency range from 128 Hz to 18 kHz, the VXL1B-16-WR delivers even, consistent sound across wide listening areas. It handles up to 160 watts of program power at 12 ohms, making it suitable for large spaces requiring uniform sound levels.
Ideal Choice For Professional Installations
From open-air stadiums to multipurpose halls and large meeting rooms, the VXL1B-16-WR combines weather resistance, sleek design, and versatile coverage options. Its adaptability and performance make it a dependable solution for professional audio installations demanding both style and substance.
