James Loudspeaker VXQ68 - 6" Performance Level 8 Quad Tweeter Rectangle

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker VXQ68 is a 6-inch quad-tweeter architectural flush-mount loudspeaker with a rectangle baffle, designed for high-fidelity ceiling and wall audio in commercial AV environments. Part of the Visual Experience (VXQ) Performance Level 8 series, this rectangle trimless in-ceiling speaker combines a 6-inch driver with a quad-tweeter array for wide high-frequency coverage and added low-frequency output. It is built for integrators who want a discreet rectangular flush-mount speaker that aligns cleanly with linear architectural lines. The VXQ68 suits conference rooms, hospitality, and premium retail where audio performance and clean aesthetics matter equally.

Product Description

The VXQ68 pairs a 6-inch driver with a four-tweeter array to broaden high-frequency dispersion and improve coverage uniformity while delivering more low-end body than the 4-inch model. Its rectangle baffle and trimless XPC grille system allow the speaker to sit flush with the ceiling or wall, with the grille concealing mounting hardware for a clean finished look; the rectangular format suits layouts that favor linear visual alignment. As a passive loudspeaker, it integrates with standard amplifier and distribution-matrix infrastructure, and an optional 70V 20W transformer accessory adapts it for distributed-audio and constant-voltage line systems. The Performance Level 8 designation reflects James Loudspeaker's high-output architectural tier.

Within the rectangle VXQ family, the VXQ68 sits between the compact 4-inch VXQ48 and the larger 8-inch VXQ88, balancing output and footprint. Compatible accessories include the VXQ6-NT trimless rectangle grille, a shallow back-box enclosure, and a custom grille-painting service. Additional models are in the James Loudspeaker collection through Creation Networks.
