JBL VTX B28 DUAL 18-INCH SUBWOOFER NEXT GENERATION DUAL 18-INCH SUBWOOFER

August 17, 2020

JBL has introduced the new JBL VTX B28 subwoofer, designed to support live entertainment applications and complement JBL VTX full-range sound reinforcement systems. Boasting a brand new 4th generation JBL Differential Drive woofer and an exclusive port design, the B28 delivers uncompromised low-frequency performance, even for the most demanding applications. Featuring our strongest, lightest and most efficient wooden enclosure to date, and our innovative two-point rigging system for safer, simpler and faster rigging; the B28 exemplifies our commitment to safety, ease of installation and performance.

The VTX B28 is JBL Professional’s next-generation dual 18-inch subwoofer, designed to complement the company’s flagship VTX full-range sound reinforcement systems, and capable of delivering uncompromised low-frequency performance, even for the most demanding shows on the planet. The B28 boasts JBL Differential Drive transducers, an exclusive port design, and the same industrial design found in JBL’s VTX A-Series products. It is equally ideal flown or ground stacked, in omnidirectional or cardioid configurations. Simple and fast rigging, a selection of accessories, and software support make the B28 an exceptional choice for rental, AV, and touring companies, as well as in high-end fixed installations.

A simple, integral, two-point rigging system allows flown arrays of up to 16 B28 enclosures. Three M20 pole mount attachments on the enclosure’s top can interface with standard Base Plate accessories for the A12, A8, and V20 systems to create ground stacked systems. B28 systems are powered exclusively by Crown I-Tech HD amplifiers and are fully integrated into JBL’s software ecosystem.

 

PERFORMANCE Proprietary double-flared ports precision-engineered for greater low frequency extension and reduced turbulence.

JBL TRANSDUCERS JBL 2288H-M 18-inch Differential Drive® transducer with dual voice coils and dual-gap neodymium magnet for long excursion and improved cooling.

FAST RIGGING Captive, spring-loaded, quick-release mechanism for easy assembly, quick deployment and quiet operation.

FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATIONS Form cardioid arrays simply by orienting the cabinets and selecting a preset.

The VTX B28 is JBL Professional’s next-generation dual 18-inch subwoofer, designed to complement the company’s flagship VTX full-range sound reinforcement systems. The VTX B28 features two JBL 2288H-M 18-inch woofers engineered for improved linearity, efficiency, and extra-long excursion. The 2288H-M employs Differential Drive – JBL’s dual voice coil, dual-gap technology – to deliver better heat dissipation, lower power compression and wider dynamic range than conventional single-coil designs. The B28 incorporates a double-flared, exponential, low frequency port design to improve airflow and reduce audible turbulence, even at high output levels. The B28 shares the industrial design of the VTX A-Series products, and features an innovative and simple-to-use two-point rigging system. The all-captive rigging system utilizes a spring-loaded mechanism to deploy the link bars and a unique locking system that complies with all safety requirements without using traditional quick release pins. B28 subwoofers can be deployed in omnidirectional or cardioid arrays, ground stacked, or in suspended configurations of up to 16 enclosures.
