Yamaha VXS5 / VXS5W Surface Mount Speaker
5.25" cone woofer with a 0.75" soft dome tweeter
A versatile lineup for clear consistent sound
Yamaha designed the new VXC and VXS speakers to accommodate a growing list of applications in the installation market. While these speakers deliver quintessential Yamaha sound quality, they have also been carefully designed for safe and easy installation. Featuring both ceiling and surface mount options, these speaker series include a comprehensive range of models that are available in either black or white, or can be painted to match the interior of any application.
Highly adaptable surface mount speakers
The VXS Series lineup features 2 models and 4 variations, allowing you to choose the optimal model for a particular application. 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 for easier configuration
VXS speakers come with a dedicated bracket for safe, troublefree 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.
Pursuing the best sound for installation
We developed the VXC and VXS Series speakers to address a demand in the installation market for speakers capable of providing superb music reproduction as well as crystal clear announcements for public address applications. Both 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 even 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 design
VXS series comes with paintable speaker bodies, grilles and brackets. Not only filling your room with premium sound, VXS series enhances the design of interior by painting its grille in any color you like such as light color, deep color, or the best matching color to your decors.
EN54-24 certified version with uncompromised performance
We also offers "VA" versions that add EN54-24 voice alarm system standard compliance while retaining the outstanding sonic quality and ease of installation provided by the VXS series speakers; therefore a single speaker can optimally handle both music reproduction and emergency broadcast functions. The VA versions employ flame-retardant materials for the cabinet and baffle, ceramics for the speaker terminal support, and clamping covers on the rear panels to meet EN54-24 standard heat and moisture resistance requirements. 2 models and 4 variations of VXS-VA version are available.
