Yamaha VXS8 Overview

Ideal for use in commercial audio installs such as in restaurants, bars, stores, and schools, the Yamaha VXS8 is a surface-mount loudspeaker with a 8" LF driver, a 1" soft-dome tweeter, and support for up to 360W of power handling. With a 60W 70/100V multi-tap transformer and an 8-ohm bypass option, the VXS8 can handle both high-impedance and low-impedance systems.

The 100° conical dispersion provides a balanced spot coverage for install spaces. Installation of the speaker onto surfaces or ceilings is made easy with the flexible mounting bracket design, which include gear guides and the option to install the speaker temporarily to free up your hands. The stylish hexagonal grille fully covers the baffle and the enclosure can be fully painted to fit any environment. Input and thru connectivity on the loudspeaker is provided over block connections. Sold in a pair, the VXS8 includes two mounting brackets and two terminal covers.

Highly Adaptable Design
VXS Series is equipped with internal transformers that allow them to operate at both high or low impedance simply by changing the tap on the rear of the speaker. These models also offer IP35-rated protection, ensuring worry-free use in outdoor applications.
Flexible Mounting
VXS speakers come with a dedicated bracket for safe, trouble-free speaker installation. Speakers can be mounted temporarily, freeing your hands to adjust mounting angles, which can now be configured consistently with ease thanks to the gear guides in the bracket connectors. Furthermore, the bracket base allows VXS Series speakers to be mounted on both walls and ceilings without the need to prepare a different set of brackets.
Optimal Sound for Installations
Both the VXC and VXS series feature newly customized transducers with large, powerful magnetic circuits that increase driving and braking force substantially as well as dedicated tweeter diaphragms and speaker cone paper made from a carefully created blend of materials that help optimize sound reproduction.

Cabinets are built tough to meet the demands of a wide variety of commercial environments, constructed from a carefully selected plastic with just the right tensile strength, and designed with optimized bass-reflex tuning to offer a firm, tight low end. From the networking components and the materials used for wiring and soldering, right down to the optimal placement of acoustic absorption material, a great deal of attention has been paid to the smallest details of the series' design.

Speaker Design
Several aspects of these speakers' design reflect a strong emphasis on functionality as well as the aesthetic features of their construction—effectively enhancing sound quality and speaker performance without disturbing the interior décor of the installation. This concept is evident in the hexagonal design featured on the grille that actually improves sound clarity by raising the aperture ratio. Similarly, the smooth curves of the surface-mount cabinet's simple yet sophisticated design allow the speakers to be mounted closely to the wall, while still fully capable of panning and tilting to target service areas.
Paintable Speakers for Your Unique Room
The VXS series comes with paintable speaker bodies, grilles, and brackets. Not only filling the desired room with premium sound, VXS series enhances the design of interior by painting its grille in any color, such as a light color, deep color, or simply the best matching color.
