Yamaha Pro Audio VXL1B-16P Poe Wall Mount Speaker

Product Description

The YAMAHA PRO AUDIO VXL1B-16P is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) wall mount speaker designed for professional audio distribution applications. This unit draws power directly from a PoE-capable network switch or injector, eliminating the need for a separate power supply run to each speaker location. It is intended for installation by licensed audio-visual contractors, systems integrators, or experienced low-voltage technicians working in commercial or large-scale residential environments. The on-wall form factor allows surface mounting without requiring in-ceiling or in-wall rough-in work, making it well suited for retrofit installations and spaces where plenum access is limited.

The VXL1B-16P is designed for on-wall speaker applications in commercial environments such as conference rooms, lobbies, retail spaces, corridors, and multi-zone background music or paging systems. Its PoE connectivity simplifies deployment by consolidating signal and power over a single Cat cable run, reducing installation labor and material costs. The black finish is suited for installations where the speaker is intended to blend with dark wall surfaces or architectural elements.

Compatibility

Designed as an on-wall PoE speaker for use in professional audio distribution systems powered by IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at compatible PoE network switches or injectors. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or audio-visual technician familiar with structured cabling standards and local building codes. Power down or disable the PoE port on the network switch before making or breaking the Cat cable connection at the speaker. Verify that the PoE switch or injector is rated to supply adequate power for the number of connected speakers on the circuit. Mounting hardware selection should account for the wall substrate material — use appropriate anchors for drywall, masonry, or concrete surfaces as required by the installation environment.
