Sonance VP80R Visual Performance 8-Inch In-Ceiling Speaker - Single, 125W Peak, Paintable White

Product Description

The Sonance VP80R is a premier architectural audio solution that delivers full-range, high-fidelity sound while remaining nearly invisible. As part of the Visual Performance series, it features an award-winning low-profile grille that can be painted to match your ceiling perfectly. The large 8-inch polypropylene woofer provides significant air movement, resulting in deep, powerful bass that often eliminates the need for an external subwoofer in many applications.

Precision high-frequency reproduction is handled by a 1-inch cloth dome tweeter, which is ferrofluid-cooled for enhanced durability. A key advantage of the VP80R is its pivoting tweeter mechanism, allowing you to aim the sound directly toward the listening area. This ensures optimal clarity and detail even when the speaker's physical mounting location is restricted by ceiling joists or other obstructions.

The VP80R is built with a focus on ease of installation and long-term reliability. Its high sensitivity of 90 dB means it can be driven efficiently by most modern home theater receivers and multi-room amplifiers. Whether you are creating an immersive Dolby Atmos theater or a high-end whole-home music system, the Sonance VP80R offers the perfect combination of aesthetic elegance and acoustic authority.
