elegant, modern style with outstanding audio
performance. New micro flange grilles have only 0.20” of
trim, giving these speakers a clean, sleek appearance that
seamlessly integrates into any designed space. The grilles
attach via powerful magnets, for simple, quick installation.
A one-step paint process saves time compared to traditional
flanged speakers.
Visual Performance 8” speakers are available in three
shapes (rectangular, square and round), and in three
different audio performance levels, so the designer and
installer can select the shape that best suits the
architectural space while providing the level of sound
quality desired by the client.
VP85-series speakers feature carbon fiber cone woofers
and midranges and silk dome tweeters for high-quality
sound; VP87-series speakers deliver audiophile-quality
sound via coated carbon fiber cone woofers and
midranges and aluminum dome tweeters; VP89-series
speakers feature beryllium drivers that deliver reference-
quality sound. Pivoting drivers direct the sound at listeners
for excellent stereo performance, even if the speakers are
mounted in “less-than-ideal” locations.
Visual Performance Series 8” speakers can be retrofitted
into mounting holes for Sonance Virtuoso
®
speakers
without modification, making upgrades exceptionally easy.
Visual Performance series 8” speakers can also be used
