Five vertically arrayed 3.5\" full-range drivers provide 130° horizontal by 45° vertical nominal dispersion, while 120W average and 480W peak power handling support demanding commercial sound systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in black VLS5 and white VLS5WH versions, this column loudspeaker suits airports, transportation facilities, conference centers, houses of worship, stadium concourses, museums, hotels, and long corridors. A rear rotary selector supports 12-ohm low-impedance operation or 70V and 100V distributed systems through an integrated 100W line transformer with multiple power taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VLS 5 uses a passive frequency-shading network to control the output of its vertical driver array while maintaining a slim architectural profile. Its aluminum enclosure and powder-coated perforated steel grille are rated IP64 for resistance to dust and moisture ingress. Internally paralleled barrier-strip connectors simplify system linking, while included mounting and weather-protection hardware supports permanent indoor and suitable outdoor installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Color Variants\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVLS5:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black finish, RAL
