Sonance VX82R 8" Visual Experience In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair)
High-Fidelity Architectural Sound with Pivoting Driver Assembly and Micro Trim Grille
The Sonance VX82R is a premium 8-inch in-ceiling speaker pair from Sonance’s Visual Experience Series, designed for customers who want serious sound quality with a clean architectural finish. It combines a coincident woofer-and-tweeter design with a pivoting assembly, letting installers aim the sound where it matters most.
This is the kind of ceiling speaker that makes a room feel “finished”. Big, effortless sound, strong vocal clarity, and a refined top end, all while staying visually subtle with a white micro trim grille.
Why VX82R is a Big Step Up
Large-format drivers with real control
Ceiling speakers often sound great directly underneath them… and thin everywhere else. The VX82R tackles that with a larger 8" woofer for scale and body, and a tweeter design that stays smooth and controlled at real listening levels.
This makes it ideal for:
- Open-plan living areas
- High ceilings
- Larger rooms where smaller ceiling speakers run out of steam
- Systems where you want music to feel full and present, not “background only”
Coincident Driver Design
Better imaging from a ceiling speaker
The VX82R places the tweeter and woofer on a coincident axis, helping the speaker behave more like a single point source. In plain English: it improves coherence, making vocals and instruments sound more natural and more “locked together”.
That translates into:
- Cleaner stereo imaging
- More consistent sound across the room
- Better clarity at lower volumes
Pivoting Woofer + Tweeter Assembly
Aim the sound where people actually sit
The VX82R uses a pivoting driver assembly that can be angled to direct output toward the listening position.
It helps:
- Reduce “sound falling straight down”
- Improve clarity and presence in seating areas
- Make background audio feel evenly spread instead of patchy
Designed for Fast, Clean Installation
Flex Frame + RotoLock mounting
The VX82R system is built for neat, repeatable installs, including a two-stage Flex Frame process and RotoLock clamps for secure ceiling mounting.
This is especially helpful for:
- Multi-room projects
- Renovations where cutting happens before hardware arrives
- Larger installs where speed and consistency matter

The Audio Experts Take
The VX82R is for customers who want ceiling speakers to feel like a real upgrade, not a compromise. The 8" woofer gives it scale, the coincident design helps it image cleanly, and the pivoting assembly makes it far more forgiving in real-world rooms. In open-plan spaces especially, this speaker pair can deliver that “effortless everywhere” sound that cheaper models simply can’t.
