Welcome to our Monitor Audio Vecta V240-LV Indoor/Outdoor Speaker Review. If you’re seeking a powerhouse architectural loudspeaker that merges refined design with uncompromising audio performance, the V240-LV firmly sits at the top of the list. From its IP55-rated all-weather build to its integrated 70/100 V transformer, this model sets a new benchmark for both residential and commercial audio installations.
Design & Build Quality
The Vecta V240-LV features a CNC-machined, high-density ABS enclosure and rust-proof stainless-steel grille, offering a robust defence against rain, dust and UV. Rated IP55 and tested from –25 °C to 65 °C, it thrives in extreme temperatures. The dual 4" C-CAM metal cone drivers and 25 mm C-CAM dome tweeter are mounted on a subtly curved baffle, minimising boundary reflections and ensuring a controlled dispersion pattern for a seamless listening experience.
Performance & Sound Signature
With a frequency response extending from 70 Hz to 25 kHz (–6 dB), 88 dB sensitivity and a sealed bass alignment, the V240-LV delivers tight, articulate low end alongside crystalline highs. The integrated transformer offers selectable power taps (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 W at 70 V), simplifying multi-speaker configurations without impedance matching headaches—even over long cable runs. This intelligent design achieves a maximum SPL of 108 dBA per speaker, ensuring clear coverage in expansive areas.
Installation & Flexibility
The V240-LV’s gold-plated push terminals attach directly to the mounting bracket, streamlining connections and removing visible wiring. Wall-mount horizontally or vertically—under eaves, corners or bespoke architectural features—and pair four units on a V-Cluster pole bracket for true 360° sound distribution. The programmable power level switch, discreetly hidden behind the badge, allows on-the-fly system optimisation to suit any venue.
