Elegant, Slim-Profile Design

The VXL1B-16 features an exceptionally slim 5.4cm wide enclosure that blends seamlessly into any interior design. This discreet form factor is perfect for boardrooms, museums, and houses of worship where aesthetics are as important as audio performance. The enclosure can also be painted to perfectly match the surrounding decor.

Wide Horizontal Coverage

A line array of sixteen 1.5-inch drivers creates an impressively wide 170° horizontal dispersion pattern. This ensures smooth, uniform sound coverage across the listening area, reducing the need for multiple speakers and providing a consistent experience for all listeners. The design minimizes unwanted vertical reflections for enhanced clarity.

Switchable Dispersion & Easy Installation

Adapt the speaker's vertical coverage to suit the environment with a rear-panel switch, choosing between a focused 20° (Normal) or a broader 40° (Wide) pattern. The speaker includes a wall-mount bracket for straightforward installation, and its IP35 rating ensures durability in a variety of indoor environments.

No, the Yamaha VXL1B-16 is a passive loudspeaker and requires a separate, compatible power amplifier for operation.

It is ideal for small to medium-sized rooms requiring high-clarity speech and background music, such as conference rooms, lecture halls, retail stores, and smaller sanctuaries.

The VXL1B-16 includes a dedicated wall-mount bracket for vertical installation. Optional brackets are also available for horizontal mounting or for coupling multiple units together.

The VXL1B-16 has an IP35 rating, which means it is protected against water spray. It can be used in covered outdoor locations like patios or eaves when installed in a vertical orientation.

The package contains the VXL1B-16 speaker, a wall-mount bracket, a terminal cover, and mounting screws for the bracket.

The speaker features parallel-wired Euroblock input and output terminals, allowing for easy daisy-chaining of multiple units from a single amplifier channel, provided the total impedance is within the amplifier's safe operating range.
