Sonance VP85RW – Round In-Wall/In-Ceiling Subwoofer

Product Overview

The Sonance VP85RW is the round-grille version of Sonance's large Visual Performance in-wall/in-ceiling subwoofer. It is built for integrators who want dedicated bass output from a wall or ceiling cavity with a round micro-trim finish instead of a rectangular opening.

Product Description

The VP85RW shares its underlying woofer platform with the rectangular VP85W but is finished with a round Sonance Visual Performance micro-trim grille, giving integrators a choice of opening shape to match the rest of a room's Sonance speaker lineup. Like the VP85W, it mounts in standard wall or ceiling construction and is intended to deliver low-frequency extension without a floor-standing cabinet. A matching VP8SQ square adapter and grille is available separately for projects that later want to convert the opening to a square profile. Integrators building a full in-ceiling speaker system around round-trim aesthetics typically pair the VP85RW with other round-grille Visual Performance models for a consistent look.
