Yamaha has launched its VC series of ceiling loudspeakers, a low profile, cost-effective range designed to deliver high-quality music reproduction in commercial spaces, including hospitality, entertainment and corporate premises.
The six models in the range include the VC8, with 8-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter, VC6 (6.5-inch woofer, 0.8-inch tweeter) and VC4 (4-inch woofer, 0.8-inch tweeter). All include back cans. There are also ‘N’ versions of each speaker – VC8N, VC6N and VC4N – with the same specifications, but no back can. These models include a back cover that protects the speaker unit and circuitry from dust and moisture.
All VC models use a lightweight, low-profile housing that allows them to be installed where space above ceilings or behind walls is very restricted. All models are available in both black and white finishes. The supplied grilles can also be painted in any colour to match interior decor.
Connections for both high- and low-impedance audio systems are provided. With the VC series’ nominal impedance of 16Ω, a higher number of speakers can be installed with either type of system. This reduces the need for additional units and, with the input wattage easily switched with a tap on the front of the speaker (even after installation), allows systems to be created that precisely meet the needs of any location.
VC loudspeakers also include features to help fast, safe installation. All models are lightweight, easily portable and feature a smart mechanism for safe and quick installation. This includes large clamps to ensure secure mounting. The VC8, VC6 and VC4 feature a built-in carrying band, which makes them easy to carry and enhances safety when installers are working on stepladders.
‘As the tagline Premium Sounding Compact Ceiling Speakers at a Non-Premium Price suggests, the VC Series provides a no-compromise choice in sound quality and design for a wide range of applications, from restaurants to those which require large numbers of speakers, such as shopping malls, large department stores, event venues and multiple conference rooms,’ says Chihaya ‘Chick’ Hirai, General Manager of Yamaha’s Pro Audio Marketing & Sales department. ‘Easily adaptable to the strictest installation limits, the VC series ensures superb, cost-effective audio performance wherever they’re placed, without affecting the visual design of a space.’
