Yamaha VXC2P Dante/PoE Ceiling Speaker White

Experience pristine audio over standard network infrastructure with the Yamaha VXC2P, a 2-way bass-reflex ceiling speaker that integrates Dante digital audio and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) into a single RJ-45 connection. Its 2.5" cone woofer and 0.75" soft dome tweeter deliver a frequency response from 67 Hz to 20 kHz, ensuring clear, full-range sound for background music, paging, and conferencing.

Overview

Engineered for commercial installations, the VXC2P combines a high-impact polystyrene enclosure with a punched steel grille, finished in white (RAL 9003). The speaker supports 24-bit audio up to 96 kHz over Dante, with a maximum SPL of 102 dB and a nominal coverage angle of 140° conical. It is powered via IEEE 802.3at PoE+, consuming just 15 W, eliminating the need for separate power cabling.

What stands out

• Dante network audio and PoE+ in one cable for simple, scalable deployments.
• Wide 140° conical coverage reduces the number of speakers needed per area.
• Compact 225 mm diameter and 100 mm depth fit shallow ceiling spaces.
• High-quality drivers ensure natural voice and music reproduction.
• Robust steel grille and HIPS enclosure withstand commercial environments.
