Features

Exceptional Experience

  • The Speaker for Coverage
    Sonance VX speakers are engineered for maximum coverage and fidelity to create the most crisp, consistent experience possible. Sonance Sinusoidal Textured Waveguide provides the greatest dispersion possible so that everyone in the surrounding space receives the same experience, making it easier to design even, balanced audio systems.
  • The Speaker for Detail and Fidelity
    When it comes to delivering fidelity and frequency range, Sonance Visual Experience is designed to astound. The Sonance CDX Crossover, as seen in the award-winning Sonance Invisible Series, maximizes performance, achieving a warmth that makes listening easy and enjoyable at any volume, ensuring that no details are lost.
  • James Quadratech Tweeter
    The James VXQ Level 8 models, feature a uniquely engineered Quadratech Tweeter and Cymatic Diffuser to create crisp details and exceptional dispersion. Each VXQ Quadratech Tweeter was designed using iterative machine learning to create the ideal experience for each speaker size, a customized feature unique to each.

Flexible Finish

  • Flexible Trim Options
    Sonance VX and James VXQ feature an all-new grille design with flexibility to upgrade to a variety of aesthetics. The Sonance Micro Trim grille is the standard grille for all VX models. The grille is a new brilliant white with an ultra-sleek bezel around the edge that is 50% slimmer than legacy VP grilles. Optionally, Visual Experience speakers can be finished with a Trimless grille, ordered separately. The completely borderless grille provides a clean and minimalistic finish that sits just proud of the surface. To take it a step further, leverage Sonance TRUFIG Mounting Platform and VX Trimless grille to precisely position and flush mount any Visual Experience speaker.
  • Grille Painting and Laser Printing Service
    For a solution that is built-to-order, Sonance VX and VXQ grilles can be custom painted or laser printed through the Sonance grille painting and laser printing service. The full service Sonance | James facility in Minden, NV is equipped to paint VX and VXQ grilles for any specified color for infinite possibilities for matching any project. When the surface includes unique designs and textures, leverage the Sonance laser printed grille service. The Sonance | James facility will take any high res image and laser print VX and VXQ grilles to match surfaces like wallpaper, stone, marble, etc.
  • VXQ Post Capture Grilles
    James VXQ models feature the same stunning trim aesthetics as VX with the added durability of Sonance Post Capture technology. The strong magnetic post system securely attaches the grille to the VXQ speaker to keep the grille intact for any indoor, outdoor, or marine environment. Like VX, VXQ Post Capture grilles are available as Micro Trim, Trimless, or Trimless flush TRUFIG Mounted. They can also be painted or laser printed by the Sonance | James team.

Efficient Installation

  • One-Stage Installation
    Our tried and true installation process for VX as single piece. The speaker is wired into the surface opening, inserted, and then secured using Sonance Roto-Lock™ clamps.
  • Two-Stage Installation
    The Sonance VX Two-Stage installation process allows installers and technology professionals to execute product installation efficiently using two simple steps. Installing the VX Flex Frame into the surface opening, the installer can wire to the frame without juggling a speaker in one hand and speaker wire in the other. Once the frame is secured and the wire is connected to the terminals, the installer can pop the VX speaker module into place and lock it into place with the lever latch.
  • Trimless Trufig Flush Mounting
    VX and VXQ models can be easily finished for a flush aesthetic by leveraging the reliable Sonance TRUFIG Mounting process and VX Trimless grille. TRUFIG mounting platforms provide precision speaker placement and alignment, creating a flush grille and zero sight lines.
