Description
The VALCOM S-422A-2 is a 2×2 lay-in ceiling speaker with a built-in transformer, designed for drop-ceiling grid installations in commercial and institutional environments. The unit drops directly into a standard 2×2 ceiling grid opening, making it a practical choice for paging, background music, and public address systems. The integrated transformer allows the speaker to operate on 70-volt or 25-volt distributed audio systems without an external matching device. Installation is handled by licensed low-voltage or audio-visual contractors familiar with commercial sound distribution.
This speaker is suited for commercial settings such as offices, retail spaces, schools, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and similar environments where ceiling-integrated audio distribution is required. The lay-in form factor integrates with standard suspended ceiling grid systems, and the built-in transformer simplifies wiring runs in multi-speaker distributed audio circuits. It is sold as a single unit per package.
