JBL VRX-AF Array Frame
Description
JBL VRX-AF Array Frame
The VRX-AF Array Frame is a precision-engineered rigging solution that anchors large-format line arrays with the mechanical security required for complex studio and live tracking sessions. Built around quick-release pins and heavy-duty shackles, this frame enables straightforward, repeatable array configurations where safety and consistent speaker placement are essential to capturing accurate recordings.
Rigging & Load Capacity
This frame maintains a minimum design factor of 7:1 across all supported speaker configurations, exceeding industry safety standards. The 520 lb working load limit at a 10:1 design factor ensures substantial headroom for complex array builds without compromise.
Array Configuration & Acoustic Flexibility
The VRX-AF suspends JBL VRX932LA-1/P and VRX918S/P enclosures in mixed arrays, accommodating up to 6 VRX932LA units or up to 6 VRX918S units in a single frame. Its modular design—center frame with two side arms—adapts to room-specific array geometry and acoustic tuning, allowing engineers to optimize speaker positioning for optimal mix translation and monitoring coverage during tracking and overdub sessions.
