Sonance VX66R Visual Experience 6.5-Inch Round Ceiling Speaker

Product Overview

The Sonance VX66R is the top round model in the VX6-series in-ceiling lineup, built for integrators who need higher power handling and premium driver materials in a 6.5-inch format. It uses a ferrofluid-cooled ceramic dome tweeter with a Kevlar and Nomex composite pivoting woofer, giving it the highest sensitivity and power rating among the VX62R/VX64R/VX66R family.

Product Description

Where the VX62R and VX64R use a textured polypropylene woofer, the VX66R steps up to a 6.5-inch (165mm) Kevlar and Nomex composite cone with a rubber surround and pivoting mount, paired with a 1.0-inch (25mm) ferrofluid-cooled ceramic dome tweeter. This combination is rated for a wider frequency response of 43Hz to 20kHz (3dB), a sensitivity of 90dB (2.83V/1m), and power handling from 5 watts minimum up to 140 watts maximum, higher than the other round VX6 models. Like its siblings, it uses Sonance’s Sinusoidal Textured Waveguide for controlled dispersion and the CDX Crossover Design to blend tweeter and woofer output smoothly. Installation uses the same 8.25-inch cut-out diameter and 4.92-inch mounting depth as the rest of the VX round platform, with support for both one-stage and two-stage Flex Frame installation. Finish options include Micro Trim, Trimless, and TRUFIG grilles, with paint or laser-print customization available. For rooms where a higher-output in-ceiling speaker is needed within a still-compact 6.5-inch footprint, the VX66R is the top choice in this series, backed by Sonance’s Limited Lifetime Warranty when purchased through an authorized dealer.
