Description
Overview
The Samson Resound VX8.1 is a professional, portable column array system designed to deliver premium, high-fidelity sound reinforcement in a sleek and transportable package. Engineered for mobile DJs, live bands, singer-songwriters, and corporate presenters, this active system combines a powerful subwoofer with a sophisticated vertical array to fill large rooms with stunning clarity and impactful low-end response.
Key Details
- Powerful Amplification: Equipped with a lightweight Class D amplifier delivering a total of 700 watts (350W dedicated to the subwoofer and 350W to the column array).
- Advanced Driver Configuration: Features a 12″ active subwoofer for deep bass and eight 3.5″ full-range drivers arranged in a 2-segment vertical column for superior mid-to-high frequency projection.
- Flexible Coverage: Offers adjustable horizontal dispersion, providing 120 degrees of coverage when the array is centered, or up to 200 degrees when the two array segments are rotated 45 degrees in opposite directions.
- Integrated Mixing: A top-mounted 3-channel mixer on the subwoofer allows for immediate control of microphones, instruments, and wireless sources.
- DSP Presets: Onboard digital signal processing includes four tailored presets—Music, Live, Speech, and DJ—to optimize sound based on the application.
- Rugged Construction: Built for the road with solid plywood enclosures, textured paint, and heavy-duty steel grilles.
Use Cases
- Mobile DJing: Rapid deployment for weddings and parties with Bluetooth streaming for background music and high-SPL output for dance floors.
- Live Performance: Ideal for singer-songwriters and small acoustic acts requiring a professional PA that is easy to transport without needing separate speaker stands.
- Corporate Events: The “Speech” DSP preset and wide horizontal coverage ensure clear vocal intelligibility across large conference rooms.
- Expanded Soundscapes: Use the Thru output to daisy-chain a second VX8.1 system for larger venues requiring increased coverage and volume.
Installation
The Resound VX8.1 is designed for rapid, tool-free setup. The system utilizes interlocking components, meaning the column array and extension segment lock directly into the subwoofer, eliminating the need for external cables or tripod stands between the sub and the tops.
Once assembled, simply connect your power source and plug your inputs into the top-mounted mixer. For wireless playback, pair your mobile device via Bluetooth to Channel 3.
