Designed for installed audio environments, the Yamaha VC4N 4-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker is engineered to deliver clear background music and highly intelligible voice reproduction. A 2-way coaxial configuration is used, combining a 4" cone driver with a 0.8" soft-dome tweeter to ensure balanced sound performance across a wide listening area. With a low-profile form factor, the loudspeaker is well suited for ceilings where plenum depth is limited, while a discreet appearance is maintained for commercial interiors.
Support is provided for both 70/100V distributed audio systems and 16-ohm low-impedance connections, allowing flexible integration into a wide range of installed sound systems. A wide 160° conical dispersion pattern is implemented so that even sound coverage can be achieved across large or acoustically complex spaces. Installation efficiency and long-term reliability are prioritized through practical design elements, making this ceiling loudspeaker a dependable solution for professional background music and paging applications.
Key Features
Optimized for Background Music and Paging
Clear voice intelligibility and smooth musical reproduction are delivered, making the loudspeaker suitable for announcements and ambient audio in commercial environments.
Low-Profile Design for Limited Ceiling Space
A shallow mounting depth is utilized so that installation can be completed in ceilings with restricted plenum space, reducing structural constraints.
2-Way Coaxial Driver Configuration
A 4" cone driver is paired with a 0.8" soft-dome tweeter in a coaxial layout, allowing consistent phase response and balanced frequency reproduction from a single point source.
Wide 160° Conical Dispersion
Broad sound coverage is achieved through a wide dispersion angle, ensuring that audio is distributed evenly throughout the listening area.
Flexible High- and Low-Impedance Support
A built-in 70/100V multi-tap transformer is included for distributed systems, while a 16-ohm direct connection is supported for low-impedance installations.
Reliable Power Handling
Up to 60W of maximum power handling is supported, allowing stable operation with a wide range of commercial amplifiers.
Installer-Focused Safety and Convenience
A built-in carrying band is provided to support safe handling during installation, while double-threaded speaker clamp screws are used for faster and more secure mounting.
Paintable Magnetic Grille
The grille can be painted to match surrounding décor and is attached using magnetic catches, allowing easy removal and a clean, finished appearance.
