James Loudspeaker VXQ68R - 6" Performance Level 8 Quad Tweeter Round

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker VXQ68R is a 6-inch quad-tweeter architectural flush-mount loudspeaker designed for high-fidelity ceiling and wall audio in commercial AV environments. Part of the Visual Experience (VXQ) Performance Level 8 series, this round trimless in-ceiling speaker combines a 6-inch driver with a quad-tweeter array for wide, even high-frequency coverage and added low-frequency output. It is built for integrators who need a discreet flush-mount speaker that disappears into the architecture. The VXQ68R suits conference rooms, hospitality, and premium retail where audio performance and clean aesthetics matter equally.

Product Description

The VXQ68R 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 round 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. 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 round VXQ family, the VXQ68R sits between the compact 4-inch VXQ48R and the larger 8-inch VXQ88R, balancing output and footprint. Compatible accessories include the VXQ6R-NT trimless round grille, a shallow back-box enclosure, and a custom grille-painting service. Additional models are in the James Loudspeaker collection through Creation Networks.
