As a leading global manufacturer and supplier of professional audio products for a wide range of applications including live sound reinforcement, post production, recording, worship and broadcast, Yamaha’s Commercial Audio subsidiaries and dealer networks have to deliver solutions for all installation requirements, fitting all budgets and sometimes strict design restrictions. Ceiling speakers are a solution for commercial spaces where audio performance and reliability is key, as is the requirement for discreet designs.
The six model Yamaha VC Series range comprises the VC8, with eight inch woofer and one inch tweeter, VC6 (6.5 inch woofer, 0.8 inch tweeter) and VC4 (four inch woofer, 0.8 inch tweeter), which 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 feature a lightweight, low-profile housing which allows them to be installed where space above ceilings or behind walls is very restricted. All models have an elegant design and are available in either black or white finish. The supplied grilles can also be painted in any color to match interior decor.
Connections for both high and low impedance audio systems are provided. With the VC series’ nominal impedance of 16 ohms, 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 which precisely meet the needs of any location.
Yamaha VC speakers 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.
“We are very pleased to announce the addition of six new VC series speakers to our acclaimed Commercial Installation Solutions lineup,” says Chihaya ‘Chick’ Hirai, General Manager of Yamaha’s Pro Audio marketing and sales department.
“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.”
