Sonance Virtuoso® DR-Series In-Ceiling Speakers

The totally-redesigned Sonance Virtuoso® DR-Series speaker line takes in-ceiling speaker performance and technology to a higher level, while making installation faster and easier than ever before.

All new Virtuoso DR-series speakers incorporate advanced driver materials and technology that give them stunning musical performance. Eight-inch diameter woofers deliver the kind of deep, powerful bass more commonly found in audiophile free-standing speakers. The fully-pivoting woofer assembly and exclusive pivoting Sonic Eye® midrange/tweeter assembly direct sound at listeners, producing superior stereo performance even when mounting restrictions require less-than-ideal speaker placement.

Features:

• Completely redesigned for 2006 with dramatically improved sound quality and quicker/easier installation.

• Fully-pivoting woofer assembly and pivoting Sonic Eye

direct sound at listeners, for life-like stereo sound even when placement options are limited.

• Advanced driver materials deliver extremely accurate musical performance.

• 8” Diameter woofers deliver deep, powerful bass.

• Graphite-Reinforced ABS (GRABS) woofer basket reduces resonances.

• 3-Position tweeter adjustment switch (V843

DR, V833DR, V832DR)

and 3-position midrange adjustment switch (V834

DR, V833DR) .

• Exclusive new FastMount

tabs hold speaker in the mounting hole during installation, allowing installer to let go of the speaker to pick-up tools or other items.

• RotoLock

mounting system simplifies installation.

• Paintable aluminum grilles.

• VRS2 creates diffuse soundfield ideal for surround channel use.

• Optional Retrofit Enclosure reduces sound spillover from rear of speaker into adjacent spaces.
