TANNOY QFLEX 24 Digitally Steerable Powered Column Array Loudspeaker with 24 Independently Controlled Drivers, Integrated DSP and BeamEngine GUI Control for Installation Applications

TANNOY QFLEX 24 Digitally Steerable Powered Column Array Loudspeaker with 24 Independently Controlled Drivers, Integrated DSP and BeamEngine GUI Control for Installation Applications

The QFLEX 24 stands as a dynamic, digitally steerable multi-channel column array speaker, meticulously engineered to tackle acoustic complexities in various settings. Ideal for spaces like houses of worship, transportation hubs, convention centers, conference facilities, shopping malls, performing arts centers, and museums, it integrates seamlessly into challenging installations. At its core lies our exclusive VNET loudspeaker networking platform, a fusion of software and hardware DSP elements ensuring exceptional speech clarity, powerful music amplification, and comprehensive monitoring and diagnostics for the entire speaker system.

Class-Leading Control

While many competing steerable arrays allow only a modest steering range across specific frequencies, the QFLEX 24 has a class-leading ±70° steering control, plus 24 channels of integrated DSP and amplification for consistent and highly intelligible full-range voice and music applications.

A Revolution in Sound Technology

As the pioneering digitally steerable column array speaker, the QFLEX 24 introduces groundbreaking BeamEngine technology, redirecting full-range sound away from reflective surfaces. Its intuitive GUI empowers designers to pinpoint specific target areas, unlike conventional systems offering limited angle choices. The BeamEngine GUI crafts custom steering algorithms for each designated space, creating asymmetrical patterns that ensure consistent sound pressure levels (SPL) in both close and distant zones. The result? Exceptional coverage, top-notch intelligibility, and all within an aesthetically pleasing design package.

Drivers, Power & DSP

Within the QFLEX 24-column array speaker reside eight 4" low-frequency drivers, eight 3" low-frequency drivers, and eight 1" high-frequency drivers. Each of these units boasts its dedicated 100-watt Class D amplifier and state-of-the-art integrated DSP. Arranged meticulously in a high-density array with proportional frequency spacing, these drivers offer digitally steerable coverage spanning impressive distances of up to 40 meters (131 feet), free from any aliasing artifacts. Powered by a robust internal DSP engine, this system seamlessly collaborates with the proprietary VNET and BeamEngine software, both conveniently available for free download.

Scalability

Engineered for top-tier performance as a self-powered column array, the QFLEX 24 also excels in multi-column setups alongside other TANNOY VNET enabled products. Linking these nodes within the network is achieved through durable Neutrik Ethercon connectors, renowned for their quality and ruggedness, compatible with standard RJ45 plugs and CAT5 cables. What’s more, each speaker possesses a distinct address, facilitating automatic location detection on the network, ensuring effortless integration.

System Add-Ons

Explore an extensive array of accessory options tailor-made for the VNET-enabled QFLEX 24. Choose from the VNET ETHERNET INTERFACE, VNET USB RS232 INTERFACE, VNET2-AES INTERFACE, VNET INTERFACE POWER SUPPLY, VNET INTERFACE RACK MOUNT, SENTINEL SM1 for monitoring networked PA/VA systems, and the QFLEX ISOLATOR designed to eliminate potential ground/hum issues.

PA/VA Compliant

Engineered for the ultimate in reliability, QFLEX 24’s high level of telemetry functionality renders it fully PA/VA compliant for use in any life safety or mass notification environment.

Build Quality

Crafted with architectural finesse, the QFLEX 24 boasts a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure and a perforated grille, all elegantly finished in a semi-matte white paint. For swift and precise installation, the speaker comes equipped with custom mounting hardware. Moreover, its mains input and output link power connectors feature Neutrik powerCON, ensuring reliable connectivity and ease of use.
