Belgium A/V system provider AED Rent has become the first adopter of JBL’s next-generation VTX V25 line array loudspeaker a Strategic Partner in the JBL VTX Network.
AED Rent is a market leader in Europe as a total system provider, making the company a valuable ally for JBL in establishing the VTX Series in the industry.
‘Our mission is quite simple: To develop and maintain a flexible group of companies on a Pan-European base that offers a total solution for the professional in the A/V industry,’ says AED group CEO, Glenn Roggeman. ‘AED Rent is not just a rental company but an equipment bank, not only in sound, but also in lighting, rigging and video equipment. What makes this business quite unique is large quantities, industry standards, state-of-the-art products, and a young rental fleet with fast and accurate service.’
Designed for portable and fixed-venue system operators, the VTX Series features JBL’s legndary sound quality coupled with the most advanced sound reinforcement technology and support available.‘We chose to purchase the JBL V25 because I think JBL has it spot-on for the future,’ Roggeman says. JBL has always been known as the best component builder. Today, thanks to Paul Bauman, they not only have the components, but also the speaker boxes to make a terrific system.’
The VTX V25 is a three-way, high-directivity line array element. The VTX V25 features two 2kW, 15-inch Differential Drive woofers mounted in die-cast aluminum baffles, with four 8-inch Differential Drive mid-range transducers and three of the revolutionary new D2 Dual-Diaphragm Dual-Voice-Coil Compression Drivers mounted on a third-generation waveguide and patented RBI Radiation Boundary Integrator assembly.
‘The technology JBL is using in the V25 is on the cutting edge,’ Roggeman adds. ‘If you see how much power the system is driving, it’s way above any competition. The weight of the cabinets is another attractive element, because in the future, environmental issues will play a bigger role in our business. A cabinet of 110kg that needs to be transported will be more expensive than a cabinet of 82kg.’
‘AED Rent’s technical expertise and leading position in the industry will be tremendous assets in our introduction of the V25 to the market,’ says Paul Bauman, Senior Manager of Tour Sound at JBL Professional.
