More about Yamaha'c VC Ceiling Speakers

Made for commercial installations, Yamaha’s VC series of ceiling speakers deliver high-quality sound without breaking the bank. These speakers are designed to offer wide coverage areas for large spaces such as retail, offices, restaurants, healthcare facilities, transportation terminals, and more.

Ideal for environments with limited ceiling or wall space, VC speakers boast a lightweight, low-profile design with reduced physical depth. Their elegant aesthetics effortlessly blend into the installation for a polished, professional look.

Easily adaptable to a wide range of installations, VC speakers offer 16-ohm capacity and support both high- and low-impedance connections. Depending on your application’s needs, you can install a large number of speakers on either impedance connection. In addition, speaker wattage can be switched easily, even after installation.

VC Series is comprised of six models: three with back cans and three without. The three without back cans (N) are lighter in weight and have a smaller price point; these models come with back covers to protect the speaker unit and interior circuitry from dust and moisture.

The mechanical features of VC Series speakers allow them to be installed safer and faster. Large mounting clamps with non-slip treads ensure secure mounting.
