More about Yamaha's VXC In-Ceiling Speakers

Superb music reproduction and clear speech intelligibility are at the heart of Yamaha’s VXC Series of in-ceiling loudspeakers.

Combining premium acoustics with an elegant design, VXC delivers quintessential quality in models that have been optimized for safe, easy installation.

This series is comprised of a comprehensive range of models that vary in coverage patterns and frequency response, while their enclosures are available in black or white finishes and can be painted to better match any décor or interior design for seamless integration into your space.

VXC speakers are designed to emphasize aesthetics without compromising functionality, so you get the sound you want without visual distraction.

From network component selection and the placement of acoustic absorption material to premium transducers and enclosures that optimize low-frequency response, VXC is characterized by a build that offers unprecedented natural sound reproduction. For example, an innovative tweeter design provides unrestricted woofer movement for improved sound clarity, which is further enhanced by the hexagonal grille.

An internal transformer enables high-impedance operation while the 8-ohm bypass switch supports low-impedance functionality.

In addition, VXC models feature anti-drop tabs that enable them to be temporarily mounted in the ceiling for safer, easier installation.
