Valcom V-9028 Lay-In Ceiling Speaker With Backbox 2x2

The Telecom Spot Expert Review

The V-9028 is the dual-input version of Valcom's 2x2 lay-in ceiling speaker — the two separate audio inputs allow this speaker to accept signals from two different audio sources, such as a paging channel and a background music channel, without requiring an external audio mixer or switch. This is useful in zones where paging priority needs to be maintained over a music source and both signals need a path to the same speaker location. The lay-in format drops directly into a standard 2x2 suspended ceiling grid without tile cutting, reducing installation time and eliminating the tile waste and mess that accompanies cut-in installations. The integral backbox meets or exceeds the ASTM E84 flame and smoke test with a 3-hour burn rating, satisfying commercial code requirements for speakers installed in plenum return air ceiling spaces. Front-accessible volume control handles level adjustment from below the ceiling after installation is complete.
