Yamaha VXL1W-16 Line Array Speaker - Wall Mountable, 80 W RMS, White

The Yamaha VXL1W-16 Line Array Speaker brings professional-grade sound reinforcement into spaces where discretion matters and performance cannot be compromised. As a member of the renowned VXL series, this wall-mountable cabinet blends a slim, low-profile footprint with high-fidelity output designed to deliver clear speech and rich music in intimate venues and larger rooms alike. With an 80 W RMS rating, the VXL1W-16 is built to handle everyday live sound, public address, and install applications with reliability and consistency. The white enclosure is engineered to blend with modern interiors—from houses of worship and corporate lobbies to boutique theaters and educational facilities—while maintaining Yamaha’s signature sound quality. The compact design makes installation straightforward, reducing visual clutter without sacrificing coverage or articulation. In practice, one cabinet can serve small rooms with precise, even dispersion; when several units are combined in a modular line array, you gain scalable coverage that projects sound evenly across larger venues while preserving intelligibility at all listening points. This makes the VXL1W-16 a versatile choice for integrators and sound contractors who value both aesthetics and performance.

How to install Yamaha Line Array VXL1W-16

• Plan the mounting location carefully. Identify a solid wall surface and determine the desired coverage area to ensure the cabinet angles align with seating and listening points. Gather the included mounting hardware or use manufacturer-recommended brackets to secure the unit.
• Attach the mounting bracket to the wall first, following the provided hardware instructions. Use appropriate anchors for the wall type and confirm the bracket is firmly anchored before proceeding.
• Secure the VXL1W-16 cabinet to the mounted bracket. Ensure the enclosure is level and adjust the tilt or angle as needed to achieve even dispersion across the audience area. Lock the bracket in place once the desired orientation is achieved.
• Wire the speaker to a compatible amplifier. Use appropriate gauge speaker cable and observe correct polarity to avoid phase issues. If connecting multiple cabinets, ensure impedance and power handling considerations align with the amplifier and overall system design.
• Power up the system and perform a basic signal test. Check for hum or interference, then adjust a basic EQ or crossover settings on the amplifier as needed to optimize intelligibility and tonal balance across the listening area.
