Description
The Valcom VIP-160A is an 8-inch IP talkback ceiling speaker for round cutout installations — full two-way handsfree communication over your existing IP network, powered by a single PoE Ethernet cable. The round format makes it the right choice for non-drop ceilings, drywall ceilings, and spaces where a 2x2 tile format is not available.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The VIP-160A fills the coverage gap that the 2x2 lay-in VIP-422A can't reach — concrete ceilings, drywall, and any space without a suspended tile grid. Full-duplex talkback over IP means it integrates into the same Valcom network as every other IP speaker on the system, with no additional intercom infrastructure. For classrooms, conference rooms, and private offices with finished ceilings, this is the correct form factor.
