Description
Traditional cone speakers often create uneven coverage and annoying echoes in open spaces. The Valcom EZ-SP36 ezIP Sound360 Flat Panel Speaker solves that with its sleek, innovative flat-panel design that radiates clear, natural sound in a full 360° pattern.
Whether you’re paging “clean-up on aisle 3” in a busy retail store, playing relaxing background music in a hotel lobby, or making announcements in a bustling restaurant, this speaker fills the space evenly without hot spots or dead zones. Lightweight, PoE-powered, and ready for modern IP networks, it’s the smart upgrade for businesses moving away from old analog systems.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The EZ-SP36 cuts reverberation dramatically compared to traditional speakers, so announcements sound crisp and music stays pleasant instead of muddy.

- True plug-and-play PoE and SIP compatibility

Our Expert Take & Setup Tip
This is one of the easiest IP speakers we sell to deploy. Mount it centrally on a ceiling or high wall (8–10 ft is ideal) using the included bracket and C-clamps for I-beam installs – it takes minutes. Connect to any standard PoE switch, run the free Valcom IP Solutions Setup Tool, and you’re paging in under 30 minutes. If you’re bridging from analog paging, pair it with an ezIP gateway and you get the best of both worlds without ripping out existing wiring.
