VPA-K column loudspeakers strike a balance between the sound quality of ordinary speakers and the directivity of horn systems. Several drivers in a vertical enclosure form a narrow horizontal directivity pattern — the sound travels along the site rather than dispersing up and down. This makes them ideal for railway platforms, open markets, high streets, car parks and sports venues that need a long corridor of even coverage with minimal reflections off surfaces.
The VPA-K20 is a PA column loudspeaker: 20 W, 70/100 V line, 80 Hz – 20 kHz, IP65, 92 dB, white, 340 × 130 × 123 mm, 2.1 kg. Weatherproof and speech-optimised, it delivers even coverage for indoor and outdoor public address.

VPA-K20 (20 W, IP65) — for stretches 15–25 metres long
VPA-K30 (30 W, IP65) — for medium distances of 25–40 metres, the classic choice for platforms
VPA-K40 (40 W, IP65) — for long sites and open stadiums
Advantages of column loudspeakers
Unlike horn loudspeakers, column speakers reproduce a much wider frequency range — 80 Hz – 20 kHz — delivering high-quality sound for both music and speech. They are the choice for sites where not only announcement intelligibility matters but also sound quality: railway stations, airports, central squares and city parks. The IP65 rating allows outdoor installation in any climate, including direct rainfall.
