Yamaha Launches VXH Series Pendant Speakers
for Commercial Installations
The ergonomic designed IP45-rated VXH series speakers are engineered for optimum background music
and voice reproduction.
Yamaha's new VXH series combines high quality music reproduction with exceptional
design, bringing
enhanced audio to a wide range of commercial spaces where pendant speakers are the preferred
solution.
Delivering superior sound in many larger retail, hospitality, entertainment, and corporate premises
can be a challenge with conventional surface mount or in-ceiling speakers. Pendant speakers are
often a better solution, delivering more localized sound to reduce the issues of reverberation,
unwanted reflections and the resulting lower-quality audio, which speakers located further away from
the listener can cause.
Suitable for high, open structure and sloped ceilings, the VXH series comprises two models, the
VXH6
and VXH8, engineered for optimum background music and voice reproduction.
Featuring a 120 dispersion pattern, the 6.5-inch VXH6 has a peak power handling of 300W and is
designed for use where the speakers are to be suspended at a relatively low level. The eight-inch
VXH8 has a narrower dispersion pattern of 75 and a higher peak power output of 360W, for higher
suspended positions. You can mix and match both models, as well as with other speakers in the
comprehensive Yamaha range, to achieve the best sound and coverage for any application.
Weighing just 5.7kg and 7.2kg respectively, The VXH6 and VXH8 support high and low impedance
connections, while the speaker wattage can be easily switched even after installation, thanks to the
straightforward tap selector. This minimizes the need for additional units, letting you design
systems to precisely meet the needs of a space.
VXH series speakers are IP45-rated for use in a wide range of environments, including outdoors, and
are supplied with a Gripple suspension hardware and wire kit for easy, safe height adjustment during
installation.
The enclosures feature a pleasing ergonomic, low impact design, the compact circular shape making
them less visibly intrusive from below. Both models are supplied in either black or white finish,
the magnetic speaker grille has a contoured profile and is paintable to match any interior decor.
Both models can be used to create bespoke installations for a wide range of spaces, from the high
open structure ceilings of warehouse stores and distribution centers to spaces with sloped ceilings
like amusement facilities, gymnastic halls and design-conscious environments like clothing stores,
larger restaurants and more.
"We are very pleased to announce the addition of VXH series speakers to our acclaimed Commercial
Installation Solutions lineup," says Thomas Hemery, General Manager, Yamaha Pro Audio
Marketing and
Sales Department.
"Over the years we have progressively expanded our speaker ranges to satisfy a wide variety of
applications and aesthetics. Although we have received very positive reviews for our extensive
lineup of products, high quality pendant speakers have always been a much-requested addition. The
VXH series fills a gap in our range that means Yamaha speakers can be used in system designs for
large spaces and open structures with high or sloped ceilings, which have been difficult to satisfy
in the past, while embodying the philosophies of quality and reliability that we stand for," said
Thomas.
