JBL :: Tour Sound Drivepack

VERTEC : VRX : VP : Drive Pack : Application Flexibility

A key feature of the VP Series is its highly adaptable JBL DrivePack
amplifier and signal-processing module. The two-channel DP-2 module
provides 1100 watts of total continuous power to each full-range system while the DP-1 sub-woofer module provides 1800 watts (continuous) power to the loudspeaker. The JBL DrivePack operates on auto-selecting line voltages at 50 or 60 Hz for worldwide operation. Each JBL DrivePack unit incorporates Crown’s BCA (Balanced Current Amplification) Class-I circuitry with temperature-compensated modulation and state of the art feedback circuitry for lower noise and distortion than any other high-powered switching amplifier, providing even higher fidelity than traditional analog amplifier circuitry. An extraordinarily efficient passive cooling system effects heat dissipation for optimal cooling, eliminating expensive and noisy fans.


	Input Module Options
	Each JBL DrivePack® is equipped with a modular input bay that can accept several different options. The full-featured DPDA (DrivePack Digital Audio) Input Module provides the sonic and performance advantages of BSS OmnidriveHD™ signal processing with FIR/IIR filters and LevelMax™ multi-stage limiting, plus AES/EBU digital audio input and analog audio backup capabilities. A built-in 100MB Ethernet switch enables remote control and monitoring functionality with Harman’s HiQnet® System Architect software. As a basic non-networked option, the simpler DPIP (Input) module features analog audio inputs and onboard dbx digital signal processing technology. The DPAN (Analog audio) input module and the DPCN (CobraNet™) digital audio input module support existing systems in the field, and also feature HiQnet network capabilities. Both include Crown’s user-accessible digital signal processing technology with precision bandpass limiting, pre-equalization filters and self-test functions. All modules are fully interchangeable to support retrofit capabilities and an upgrade path when desired by system owners. See DPDA Spec Sheet »


	Sophisticated Control
	A variety of control and monitoring options are available at your fingertips, integrated into Harman Pro’s HiQnet System Architect™ software. This provides complete software control of not only your JBL DrivePack-equipped loudspeakers, but also other HiQnet- compatible audio products in the system such as JBL’s VERTEC^® DP Series, or traditional VERTEC models powered with Crown I-Tech amplifiers. In these applications, VP Series and VERTEC systems are fully compatible to suit project-specific system design requirements.


	HiQnet^™
	Equipped with the most advanced network control capabilities of any loudspeaker system available, all VP Series loudspeaker systems utilize Harman Professional’s HiQnet flexible and intelligent networking protocol, providing the system operator with a complete configuration, control, and monitoring solution. HiQnet protocol provides remote access to loudspeaker preset files in the JBL DrivePack input modules, making system setup easy yet powerful, via an intuitive, user-friendly graphical interface.
