SECTION 1 : SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has
two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus
to rain or moisture.
16. Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, are placed on the equipment.
17. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply
cord plug from the AC receptacle.
18. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.

SECTION 2 : BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The VP Series loudspeakers covered by this manual are not intended for fixed installation in outdoor
or high moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause
corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture.
Keep loudspeakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely
dry out and finished surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV)
light.
The VP Series loudspeakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface
such as polished wood or linoleum, the speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output.
Precautions should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it
is placed.
Stand mounting safety precautions
Some VP Series models can be used with an optional stand mount accessory allowing mounting
on tripod stands or on a pole over subwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the
following precautions:
Check the stand or pole specification to be certain the device is designed to support the
weight of the speaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer.
Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer / pole) is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface
and be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs
do not present a trip hazard.
Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip over them and
pull the speaker over.
Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use
equipment with worn, damaged, or missing parts.
Do not attempt to place more than one VP Series loudspeaker on a stand or pole.
Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional
weight (i.e. sandbags) on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners
or similar items to any part of a speaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and
topple the system.
Unless you are confident that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person
to help you get it onto the tripod stand or pole.
Hearing damage, prolonged exposure to excessive SPL
VP Series loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to
cause permanent hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution
should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.

SECTION 3 : INTRODUCTION TO VP SERIES
POWERED LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS
VP (Venue Performance) Series
The VP Series is a family of powered integrated audio loudspeaker systems featuring the JBL DrivePack®
amplifier modules, designed in cooperation with Crown International. The JBL DrivePack features cutting-
edge technology such as patented high efficiency Class-I power amplifier circuitry. Loudspeaker components
include patented JBL Differential Drive®woofers. The full-range models feature the JBL 2452H-SL large
format 1.5” exit compression driver. This high frequency driver is coupled to a JBL Progressive Transition™
(PT) Waveguide for excellent pattern control, smooth frequency response, and low distortion. Waveguides
can be rotated for either a horizontal or vertical orientation.
