DESCRIPTION

The VTX A8 SB accessory is a lightweight suspension bar that can be used as an array frame or to implement pull-back of a VTX A8 or B18 array. When used for a pull-back, the VTX A8 SB can be attached to the bottom cabinet of an array and connected to a rear suspension point to allow for extra down-tilt, otherwise not possible to use the VTX A8 AF alone. The VTX A8 SB can also attach to the top cabinet of an array and be used as a compact array frame. In this mode, the suspension bar connects to the top cabinet’s rear rigging points and the down-tilt angle is controlled by the number of cabinets and array geometry. JBL’s Line Array Calculator software application is used to calculate the down-tilt angle. For dual-point applications and added aiming flexibility, two VTX A8 SB suspension bars can be used: one at the top and one at the bottom of the array. The VTX A8 SB can support the weight of up to (24) VTX A8 or (16) VTX B18 enclosures (depending on array geometry) and a 5/8-inch shackle (included) can be attached directly to the bar. For more information about the suspension bar and use cases, refer to the VTX A8 Rigging Manual.
