. Description
JBL VLA-C125S-GR Compact Line Array Subwoofer
The VLA-C125S-GR is a weather-resistant subwoofer engineered to extend the low-frequency performance of the JBL VLA Compact line array system. Built with dual 15" drivers and a reinforced fiberglass enclosure, this compact sub delivers controlled bass integration across medium to large outdoor and portable applications without the footprint of traditional larger designs.
Rugged Construction & Environmental Protection
The enclosure combines a fiberglass shell with 18 mm birch plywood internal bracing and multi-layer steel end-panels, creating a structure that resists impact and elements. An IP-55 rating ensures protection against dust and water jets, making this unit reliable for outdoor venues, mobile tours, and permanent installations in challenging environments.
Low-End Integration & Cohesive Blending
Dual 15" Differential Drive® transducers generate maximum output of 133 dB Peak (127 dB continuous average) at 1 meter, with the integrated rigging system allowing angle selection during array assembly for optimal coverage matching and bass reinforcement. This design prioritizes seamless integration with companion line array modules, delivering a unified low-end foundation that locks into the mix rather than standing out as a separate subwoofer character.
