In-wall speaker with built-in amplifier

The Valcom V9022-A2 is a self-powered in-wall speaker designed for drop-ceiling installation. It integrates an amplifier and a backbox so no separate enclosure or external power stage is required. The unit fits a standard 24 by 24 inch tile opening and ships with a perforated grill and trim T-bar for a finished look.

Commercial installers needing code-compliant paging

This speaker suits contractors fitting schools, offices or healthcare facilities where UL 181 and ASTM E84 ratings are mandatory. It is also approved for Los Angeles (RR 7811) and Chicago (CPN 11280) fire codes. Buyers who need stereo music reproduction, low-impedance lines or weather-resistant outdoor units should look at other product lines.

One-watt RMS output at minus 70 dB SNR

The amplifier delivers 1 W RMS with a signal-to-noise ratio of -70 dB, setting the practical loudness and clarity ceiling for paging and background music. Verify that this power level covers the intended zone before specifying the system.

Questions about this item

Does the V-9022A-2 come with everything needed for a lay-in ceiling installation or must the amplifier be purchased separately?

The package includes the speaker, perforated grill and integral backbox; a built-in amplifier is already integrated so no separate amplifier is required.

How does the V-9022A-2 differ from the V-9021 model listed in the approvals?

The V-9022A-2 is a 1-way speaker rated at 1 W RMS with -70 dB SNR and a built-in amplifier; the V-9021 is a different model that shares the same Chicago and Los Angeles approvals.

What does the 1 W RMS rating mean for actual listening volume in a typical room?

At 1 W RMS the speaker is designed for background music and paging in commercial ceilings rather than high-output home listening.
