The new Ultra Long Excursion 18 inch transducer features dual neodymium magnets, JBL s exclusive Vented Gap Cooling, and robust suspension elements for high excursion and extra long life. The new woofer is capable of a peak-to-peak maximum excursion of 89 mm (3.5).
First field use of the new component has been achieved by ATK Audiotek of Burbank, CA. The world-renowned rental sound firm has already deployed a total of 48 2 x 18 inch subwoofers, JBL s new 2269-equipped VT4880A, for numerous high-profile corporate productions, concerts and awards shows. Included in a diverse list of demanding special events have been Microsoft s Global Briefing at the Georgia Dome, the 2006 Grammy Awards at Los Angeles Staples Center, and the 2006 Academy Awards at L.A.s Kodak Theater.
We ve now deployed the new VT4880A subwoofers in a variety of circumstances. JBL s new Ultra Long Excursion 18 inch component provides significant benefits for ultra low-frequency fidelity, and has proven to be 100% reliable in our professional applications, noted Scott Harmala, CTO/VP Engineering for ATK Audiotek.
The VT4880A is designed to deliver high-fidelity sound reinforcement of sub-low frequencies for a wide variety of live music and A/V support applications. The versatile, centrally vented enclosure houses two 2269H 460mm (18 inch) Ultra Long Excursion transducers.
