The VXS5 supports wall, ceiling, and surface mounting, enabling installers to tailor speaker placement for optimal coverage in long, narrow rooms, open dining areas, outdoor seating zones, or multi-room installations. Its compact profile fits discreetly into ceilings or against walls, while delivering broad, even dispersion that minimizes dead zones.
• Powering flexibility with 70V/100V and low impedance support.Designed to scale with your system, the VXS5 offers selectable distributed-line taps (70V/100V) for easier integration into larger installations, as well as traditional low-impedance connections for direct, high-fidelity audio delivery. This blend of options makes it simple to run multiple speakers from a single amplifier and balance levels across zones while preserving sound quality.
• Weather-ready construction for indoor and outdoor use (IP35). With IP35-rated protection, the VXS5 is capable of enduring environmental challenges such as dust and water exposure in outdoor environments or exposed indoor spaces. Its rugged enclosure is designed to hold up to daily wear and tear, making it suitable for patios, courtyards, covered outdoor spaces, and challenging commercial interiors without compromising performance.
• 2-way design delivering clear highs and solid bass. The Yamaha VXS5 leverages a two-way configuration to reproduce crisp high frequencies and coherent low-end response, resulting in clean vocal projection and engaging music playback. This design minimizes distortion at typical PA levels, ensuring speech intelligibility and musical impact even at moderate volumes.
• Paintable and easy to customize to your space. The VXS5’s finish is designed to blend with your décor—paintable surfaces let you match wall colors or architectural themes, creating a seamless aesthetic. In addition to its functional versatility, the speaker maintains its performance after painting, so you don’t have to compromise on style for sound quality.

How to install Yamaha VXS5

• Plan your layout by identifying primary listening zones and ensuring you have a clear path for wiring. Consider sight lines and audience coverage to minimize acoustic gaps and optimize the distributed-line taps if you plan to use a 70V/100V configuration.
• Choose the appropriate mounting hardware. Whether you’re mounting on a wall, ceiling, or a flat surface, select brackets or a suspension system that corresponds to the VXS5’s mounting points and weight capacity. Verify that the mounting surface is sturdy and suitable for outdoor or indoor use as required by your installation.
• Run the speaker wire with proper gauge and channeling. If wiring for 70V/100V, plan for the correct tap setting on the speaker and the amplifier. Maintain correct polarity to avoid phase issues and ensure consistent performance across all speakers in the system.
• Connect the VXS5 to your amplifier or mixer system. For low-impedance setups, wire directly to the amplifier outputs; for distributed-line setups, configure the 70V/100V taps as per your system design. Double-check connections for secure contact and insulation, especially in outdoor installations where moisture is a consideration.
• Mount the speaker and secure all fasteners. After mounting, confirm that the enclosure is sealed from the mounting surface and that any weatherproofing requirements are met if the installation is outdoors. Adjust tilt and angle to achieve the intended coverage pattern and perform a test run with audio to verify balance and clarity.
• Finishing touches and calibration. If you plan to paint the enclosure, apply a thin, even coat and allow adequate drying time before testing. Use the system’s equalization and level controls to fine-tune the sound for your space, paying special attention to foot traffic areas and zones where intelligibility is critical.
