Powerful audio from the Visual Performance series' first tier

Intent upon providing you with an array of in-ceiling and in-wall speaker designs and performance options to perfectly match your specific needs, Sonance has created the Visual Performance Large series. Three shapes. Four performance levels. Round, square, and rectangular speaker designs can be combined with four levels of driver-material construction to meet the aesthetic and sound-reproduction demands of any listening area. For high-quality sound from a modern, elegant in-ceiling speaker, Sonance offers the VP83R speaker pair, part of the Visual Performance series' first tier. While the Visual Performance series' 6" speaker pairs rely on 2-way tweeter/woofer designs, the 8"-class VP83R adds a midrange driver to the mix for a full-range audio experience. Each speaker's round shape complements many modern in-ceiling light fixtures, and high-performance driver construction offers advanced audio reproduction. First, each speaker's 1.0" silk-dome, ferrofluid-cooled tweeter delivers clear, detailed high-frequency audio. Second, the added 4.0" polypropylene midrange drivers and the 8.0" polypropylene cone woofers serve up full, controlled midrange and low-frequency audio for a complete home audio experience.

Pivotal audio

As mentioned above, versatility is the Visual Performance series' modus operandi. Keeping in line with this raison d'être, the VP83R features pivoting drivers. Both the tweeter/midrange driver and woofer drivers can be manually positioned for optimal directivity of the speakers' audio toward your listening area. You're in control of customizing your audio to the unique needs of your home theater.

Grilles with "magnetic" personalities

The only thing better than the integrated, modern look of an in-wall and in-ceiling home audio system is achieving that look without the hassle of a complicated installation. Sonance has kept "ease of installation" in mind when designing the VP83R in-ceiling speaker pair. First, the VP83R can be retrofitted into existing cutouts for 8" Sonance Original series speakers without any modification. This makes for a seamless audio-system upgrade. Second, the VP83R's grilles and flanges can be painted to match or complement your home theater's décor. Finally, for even greater ease of installation, the VP83R's grilles attach to the speaker housing via powerful magnets. Easy installation and audiophile-quality sound.
