Description

The VALCOM V-1422 is an amplified lay-in ceiling speaker designed for drop-ceiling grid installations in commercial and institutional environments. Built to fit a standard 2-foot by 2-foot ceiling tile grid opening, this unit combines an integrated amplifier with a full-range speaker in a single lay-in assembly. It is suited for paging, background music, and general audio distribution applications where a clean, low-profile ceiling-mounted solution is required. Installation is typically handled by a low-voltage or audio-visual technician familiar with distributed audio systems.

The V-1422 is intended for in-ceiling audio deployments in office buildings, schools, retail spaces, healthcare facilities, and similar commercial environments. The lay-in form factor allows the unit to drop directly into a standard suspended ceiling grid without additional framing or tile cutting, simplifying installation in new construction and retrofit projects alike. It is sold as a single unit per package.
