JBL VLA-C2100-GR Two-Way Horn-Loaded Line Array System
The VLA-C2100-GR delivers precise, controlled directivity in a compact form factor engineered for studio monitoring and critical listening environments. This horn-loaded line array system excels at maintaining consistent coverage across control rooms and tracking spaces where tight horizontal control and clean, articulate output are essential requirements.
Coverage & Output Performance
The system achieves a maximum SPL of 137 dB peak at 1 meter with 100-degree horizontal coverage, allowing controlled sound propagation without excessive off-axis coloration. This combination makes the VLA-C2100-GR effective for medium-sized studios and production facilities where acoustic isolation and boundary control matter for accurate mixing and monitoring.
Design & Build Quality
Construction centers on multi-layer reinforced fiberglass with steel end-panels and an IP55-rated enclosure that resists moisture and dust ingress in varying studio conditions. The zinc-plated, powder-coated 14-gauge perforated steel grille with hydrophobic mesh underlayer and waterproof rail system ensures durability and protection of driver elements across professional studio deployments.
Key Features
- Three D2415 drivers with 1.5" diameter annular diaphragms and neodymium motors for high-frequency reproduction
- Dual 2261 10" Differential Drive 3" voice coil drivers for low-frequency output
- 800W passive 2-way configuration
- Horn-loaded design for maximum sensitivity and optimum pattern control
- Frequency range (-10dB): 86 Hz – 18 kHz
- Frequency response (±3 dB): 109 Hz – 15.3 kHz
- 100-degree horizontal coverage
- Maximum SPL: 137 dB peak at 1 meter
- Inherent rigging system with selectable inter-box angles for array assembly
- IP55-rated enclosure for environmental resistance
- Multi-layer reinforced fiberglass construction with steel end-panels
- Hydrophobic mesh underlayer and waterproof rail system
The VLA-C2100-GR combines professional-grade construction with reliable mounting integration, making it a solid choice for producers and engineers who need predictable coverage, low distortion, and durable components in demanding studio monitoring and critical listening scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum output of the VLA-C2100-GR?
The system achieves a maximum SPL of 137 dB peak at 1 meter. It uses an 800W passive configuration with dual 10" woofers and three high-frequency drivers to deliver high output suitable for medium-sized venues and outdoor installations.
How does the 100° horizontal coverage work in a touring setup?
The 100° horizontal coverage provides tight, controlled directivity across the venue with minimal off-axis spillage. The horn-loaded design and selectable inter-box angles allow you to assemble arrays tailored to your venue's layout while maintaining consistent across-axis response.
Is the VLA-C2100-GR suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The enclosure is IP55-rated and features a hydrophobic mesh underlayer, zinc-plated perforated steel grille with powder coating, and a waterproof rail system. Multi-layer reinforced fiberglass construction with steel end-panels ensures durability in indoor and outdoor deployments.
What frequency range does this speaker cover?
The frequency range at -10 dB is 86 Hz to 18 kHz, with a ±3 dB response from 109 Hz to 15.3 kHz. The dual 10" Differential Drive woofers and horn-loaded high-frequency section deliver extended coverage across the audio spectrum.
How does the rigging system work for line arrays?
The system includes an inherent rigging design with selectable inter-box angles, allowing you to configure multiple units into arrays customized for your venue's coverage needs and sightline constraints.
