Sold as a pair, it targets renovation and light-gauge steel or low-clearance ceiling applications where depth is the limiting factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VP52R UTL pairs a 5.25\" polypropylene cone woofer with a Ferrofluid-cooled 1\" cloth dome tweeter in a chassis that mounts in just 1.4375\" (36.2mm) of depth, making it one of the shallower in-ceiling options for jobs where joists, ductwork, or a shallow drop ceiling limit available space. A low-profile, paintable perforated steel grille keeps the finished appearance clean, and an optional square adapter is available for projects that need to convert a round cutout to a square trim. Because the low-profile design trades some cabinet volume for depth savings, it is best specified for background and secondary listening zones rather than a primary home theater channel. Integrators building a whole-home \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/collections\/sonance\"\u003eSonance\u003c\/a\u003e system can pair the VP52R UTL with other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/search?q=in-ceiling+speakers\"\u003ein-ceiling speakers\u003c\/a\u003e in rooms with standard ceiling depth, reserving the ultra-thin model for the specific locations that need it.
