Valcom Inc IP 2X2 Lay in Ceiling Speaker - White - One-Way Secure - InformaCast - VIP-402A-IC-V4

The Valcom VIP-402A-IC-V4 is a white 2×2 lay-in IP ceiling speaker for one-way paging, emergency alerts, and tones. It suits schools, offices, and other indoor facilities using InformaCast and PoE networks.

Recommended For

• K–12 schools, campuses, and other facilities using InformaCast that need one-way classroom or zone paging for announcements, tones, and emergency alerts.
• Facilities teams adding networked paging to indoor classrooms, training rooms, lecture halls, offices, retail stores, or medical facilities with compatible InformaCast infrastructure.
• Installers retrofitting a standard 2 × 2 ft suspended-ceiling grid who want a lay-in speaker designed to replace a ceiling tile without cutting one.
• IT and AV integrators deploying PoE-powered IP paging endpoints as part of an InformaCast-based building or campus communication system.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a school classroom or training room, staff use the speaker for scheduled tones and one-way announcements; messages play over the room’s ceiling audio when sent through the configured paging system.
• During an emergency at an indoor facility, administrators use the InformaCast-connected speaker to broadcast an alert or spoken instructions to people in the area served by that speaker.
• In a clinic or hospital, staff use the speaker for overhead paging and facility announcements; visitors and employees can hear messages in the indoor spaces where speakers are installed.
• In an office, retail store, or lecture space with a compatible paging setup, staff use the ceiling speaker to make routine one-way announcements without relying on a handheld or room-level speaker.
• When outfitting a building with compatible 2-by-2 drop-ceiling tiles, an installer can use the lay-in speaker as a ceiling tile replacement, helping add paging audio without cutting a separate tile opening.
