Yamaha VXC8 8-Inch 2-Way In-Ceiling Speaker

Premium Ceiling Sound with Yamaha Clarity

Bring powerful, detailed sound into your commercial space without compromising the interior design. The Yamaha VXC8 8-inch In-Ceiling Speaker combines high-quality music reproduction, outstanding speech intelligibility, wide 100° coverage, and installation-friendly engineering in a discreet ceiling-mounted design.

Built around a 2-way coaxial configuration featuring an 8-inch cone woofer and 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, the VXC8 delivers smooth, balanced audio across a wide 55Hz–20kHz frequency range. With 180W program power handling, 360W peak power, 90dB sensitivity, and up to 116dB calculated maximum SPL, it has the output required for demanding background music, paging, presentation, and installed-sound applications.

Whether you're designing an audio system for a restaurant, café, hotel, retail store, corporate office, conference room, educational facility, or other commercial venue, the Yamaha VXC8 provides professional performance while remaining visually unobtrusive.

Why Choose the Yamaha VXC8?

The VXC8 isn't simply a speaker hidden in the ceiling. Yamaha engineered the VXC Series specifically for installed audio, combining customized transducers with practical mounting features to make both system design and installation easier.

Its 8-inch woofer produces a firm, controlled low-frequency response, while the 1-inch soft-dome tweeter delivers clean and articulate high frequencies. A wide 100° conical coverage pattern helps distribute sound consistently throughout the listening area, making the VXC8 an excellent solution when uniform coverage is critical.

The speaker also supports both low-impedance 8-ohm operation and 70V/100V distributed audio systems, giving professional installers the flexibility to use the VXC8 in everything from smaller installations to larger multi-speaker commercial systems.

Powerful, Detailed Sound from an 8-Inch Ceiling Speaker

With its large 8-inch LF driver, the Yamaha VXC8 is capable of delivering considerably more low-frequency presence than smaller-format ceiling speakers. The result is fuller music reproduction with a solid, controlled bottom end while maintaining the vocal clarity required for announcements and speech.

Its dedicated 1-inch soft-dome HF driver complements the woofer to produce a balanced listening experience from 55Hz all the way to 20kHz.

For installations where sound quality matters just as much as coverage, the VXC8 delivers the performance expected from Yamaha professional audio.

Wide 100° Coverage for Consistent Audio

Commercial ceiling-speaker installations depend on predictable dispersion.

The Yamaha VXC8 offers a 100° conical nominal coverage pattern, allowing system designers to create even coverage across restaurants, retail floors, meeting spaces, hospitality environments, and other commercial areas.

The broad dispersion can help reduce noticeable variations in volume as listeners move throughout the space, resulting in a more consistent and professional audio experience.

Ready for 8Ω, 70V & 100V Systems

The Yamaha VXC8 gives system integrators excellent installation flexibility.

For conventional low-impedance systems, the speaker operates at 8 ohms. For larger distributed installations, its built-in transformer supports both 70V and 100V speaker lines.

70V Transformer Taps:
60W / 30W / 15W / 7.5W

100V Transformer Taps:
60W / 30W / 15W

Transformer settings can be selected directly at the speaker, making the VXC8 well suited to multi-speaker commercial installations.

Designed to Make Installation Easier

Yamaha has incorporated several installer-friendly details into the VXC8.

An Anti-Drop tab allows temporary positioning of the speaker during installation, while the integrated carrying band improves handling when moving or installing multiple speakers. Yamaha also supplies the VXC8 with an O-ring, tile rail, and cutout template, helping streamline professional ceiling installations.

The speaker requires a 285mm ceiling cutout and supports ceiling board thicknesses from 5mm to 35mm.

Clean Architectural Integration

Professional audio shouldn't distract from a carefully designed interior.

The Yamaha VXC8 uses a clean, understated ceiling-mounted appearance and a paintable grille, allowing installers and interior designers to integrate the speaker naturally into the surrounding décor.

Choose the VXC8 in black or VXC8W in white depending on the installation.
