Product Overview
The Sonance VX42R is a 4" round in-ceiling speaker supplied as a pair, designed to deliver wide-dispersion, full-range audio from a low-profile ceiling footprint. It pairs a 4.5" pivoting polypropylene woofer with a 0.75" Ferrofluid-cooled cloth dome tweeter on a sinusoidal textured waveguide for consistent tonality across the room. The included white micro trim grille keeps the visible bezel minimal in finished ceilings. Flex Frame mounting and RotoLock clamps make installation fast and secure.
Product Description
The VX42R is well suited to distributed ceiling audio in conference rooms, huddle rooms, and other commercial meeting spaces where even coverage and a discreet appearance both matter. Its 4.5" textured polypropylene woofer uses a rubber surround and pivots on a coincident woofer-plus-tweeter assembly, allowing the integrator to aim output toward the listening area for more consistent coverage. The 0.75" cloth dome tweeter is Ferrofluid-cooled with an acoustic back chamber, and the sinusoidal textured waveguide widens dispersion so the sound stays balanced off-axis. Rated at 8 ohms nominal with 70 watts maximum power handling and 89dB sensitivity, the VX42R works on standard low-impedance amplifier zones. Frequency response spans 60Hz to 20kHz, covering speech and program material in background and foreground roles. Installation uses a Flex Frame one- or two-stage system with three RotoLock clamps and a 5.875" cut-out, keeping mounting depth to 4.53". The white micro trim grille is paintable to match the ceiling, and a round trimless grille option is also available. Voiced to match other Sonance in-ceiling models in the Sonance commercial audio collection, the VX42R integrates cleanly into multi-room and zoned commercial systems. Supplied as a pair, it provides a complete two-speaker solution for a single zone or room.
