JBL VTX A8 SB Line Array Suspension Bar
The JBL VTX A8 SB is a versatile suspension bar that adds pull-back down-tilt to a flown VTX A8 or B18 array, or attaches to the top cabinet as a compact array frame supporting up to 24 A8 or 16 B18 enclosures.Overview
The JBL VTX A8 SB is a lightweight suspension bar used either to implement pull-back on a flown VTX A8 or VTX B18 array or, when attached to the top cabinet, as a compact array frame in its own right. When used for pull-back, it connects the bottom cabinet to a rear suspension point to achieve extra down-tilt beyond what the VTX A8 AF alone can provide. JBL's Line Array Calculator software helps engineers determine the correct down-tilt angle for each configuration.
