The Yamaha VXS8W is a 2-way, bass-reflex surface-mount loudspeaker designed for commercial installations, such as restaurants, retail stores, and banquet halls. The “W” in the model name indicates that the speaker comes in a white finish, while the VXS8 has a black finish.
Key features
Dual impedance capability: The VXS8W features a built-in transformer that allows it to be used in both high-impedance (70V/100V line) distributed audio systems and low-impedance (8Ω) systems.
High-quality sound: The speaker is equipped with an 8″ cone woofer for low and mid-frequencies and a 1″ soft dome tweeter for high-frequency clarity. Its bass-reflex design provides a firm and tight low-end response.
Weatherproof construction: With an IP35 rating, the VXS8W is protected against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Adjustable mounting: The included wall/ceiling mount bracket allows for flexible installation. The speaker can be mounted and temporarily positioned, leaving hands free to adjust the pan and tilt angles to precisely target the service area.
Paintable enclosure: The speaker body, grille, and bracket can all be painted to match the interior décor of any commercial space.
Elegant design: The curved enclosure and hexagonal grille are designed to not only perform well acoustically but also to blend aesthetically into sophisticated environments.
Overload protection: An internal protection circuit helps safeguard the network and transducers from damage due to excessive power.
