Part of the Visual Experience (VXQ) Performance Level 8 series, this rectangle trimless in-ceiling speaker pairs an 8-inch driver with a quad-tweeter array for wide high-frequency coverage and substantial low-frequency output. It is the largest rectangle model in the series, engineered for integrators who need full-range performance from a discreet flush-mount speaker with linear visual alignment. The VXQ88 suits large conference spaces, atriums, and high-end hospitality where coverage and aesthetics both matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VXQ88 combines an 8-inch driver with a four-tweeter array to broaden high-frequency dispersion while delivering the deepest low-frequency output in the rectangle VXQ series. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the rectangle VXQ family, the VXQ88 is the full-range flagship above the 6-inch VXQ68 and the compact 4-inch VXQ48, suited to larger rooms and higher SPL requirements. Compatible accessories include the VXQ8-NT trimless rectangle grille, a shallow back-box enclosure, and a custom grille-painting service.
