DEPLOYING THE SYSTEM
The VRX932LA-1/VRX928LA is a flexible speaker system that can be deployed in ground-supported or
suspended applications. The following information will help you set up your VRX932LA-1/VRX928LA
system safely and effectively.
POLE AND TRIPOD SAFETY WARNINGS!
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.
• Be certain that the surface on which the system is to be stacked is flat, stable and solid.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple the speakers.
• 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 two VRX932LA-1/VRX928LA loudspeakers on a stand or pole.
• When mounting two VRX932LA-1/VRX928LA speakers on a pole or tripod, integral rigging
hardware must be used to secure the speakers to each other.
• Always be cautious when deploying the system outdoors. Unexpected winds may topple a system.
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.
• One or two VRX932LA-1/VRX928LA cabinets may be mounted onto either a JBL SS2-BK
tripod stand or with the SS4-BK adjustable pole mount to their companion VRX918S,VRX915S
or SRX718S subwoofers.
Do not mount VRX932LA-1 cabinets on top of the compact VRX915S subwoofer!

SINGLE VRX932LA-1/VRX928LA
A single VRX932LA-1 may be used on a tripod stand (JBL SS2-BK) or on a
pole (JBL SS4-BK) over its companion subwoofer the VRX918S or the
SRX718S. The use of a subwoofer is recommended for applications requiring
more low-frequency power and extension. Usually, the Array Configuration
Selector (ACS) switches on the input panel should be set to the “Short Throw
(-3 dB)” position when a single speaker is used.
A single VRX928LA may be used on a tripod stand (JBL SS2-BK) or on a pole
(JBL SS4-BK) over its compact companion subwoofer the VRX915S or the
larger VRX918S/SRX718S subwoofer models.
The VRX932LA-1/VRX928LA includes a dual angle 36 mm pole mount socket.
By selecting the appropriate pole socket and adjusting the height of the tripod
or pole, optimum coverage may be achieved. Ideally, the audience should not
be able to see either he bottom or the top surfaces of the speaker. This will
insure that all listeners are within the "included coverage angle" of the loud-
speaker. The rear pole-socket will position the speaker with the baffle 2.5° to
the floor while the forward socket will position the speaker with the baffle
angled down by 15°. System illustration shows the available JBL SS2-BK
tripod stand.
NOTE: VRX932LA-1WH/VRX928LA-WH does not include pole mount features
and is designed specifically for fixed installations.
All of the information in this section for VRX932LA-1 also applies to previous VRX932LA systems.
