Valcom Signature V-1422 2-Way Speaker - White

The Valcom Signature V-1422 is a premium, all-in-one ceiling speaker solution designed for professional environments where clear voice communication and high-fidelity background music are essential. This coaxial speaker assembly combines an 8" woofer, a 3" tweeter, a built-in amplifier, and a convenient volume control, all housed within a sturdy 2' x 2' grille backed by an integral backbox. Built to deliver dependable performance in conference rooms, classrooms, retail spaces, and hospitality settings, the V-1422 offers a clean installation, reliable sound reproduction, and durable construction that stands up to everyday use.

• All-in-one installation for streamlined setups: The V-1422 integrates the speaker, amplifier, and volume control into a single, compact ceiling unit. This eliminates the need to run separate components and wires, simplifying installation workflows and reducing clutter. The result is a clean, professional look with fewer joints and fewer potential points of failure in the signal chain.
• Coaxial 2-way design for rich, balanced sound: An 8" woofer paired with a 3" tweeter delivers a broad frequency response, with robust low-end punch and crisp presence in the mid and high ranges. The coaxial arrangement ensures that sound from both drivers remains tightly integrated, yielding superior intelligibility for speech and a more immersive musical experience for background audio.
• Durable build with stylish, maintenance-friendly finish: The steel grille features a white baked enamel finish that looks polished in any interior while resisting scratches and corrosion. The grille is designed to protect the drivers from dust and impact, yet it’s unobtrusive enough to blend into most ceiling aesthetics, preserving the room’s visual appeal.
• Integrated backbox for optimal acoustics and compliance: The built-in backbox helps contain sound energy for consistent dispersion and predictable performance across the listening area. It also supports proper mounting and helps meet common commercial installation requirements, contributing to safer and more reliable operation in busy spaces.
• Versatile use for paging and background music: The V-1422 is ideal for environments that require clear voice reproduction as well as pleasing background music. From corporate offices and schools to retail floors and hospitality venues, this speaker delivers confident dialogue and inviting ambiance, enhancing overall occupant experience and safety through clear announcements and cues.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is the V-1422 compatible with 70V or 100V distributed audio systems? A: The V-1422 is designed for commercial use and integrates its own amplifier, but it is most effectively used in local speaker setups. For large-scale distributed systems, check your installation’s voltage options and consult Valcom documentation to confirm compatibility or recommended configurations within a 70V/100V framework.
• Q: What kind of music and paging performance can I expect? A: The 8" woofer and 3" tweeter deliver a balanced, full-range sound with clear spoken word intelligibility. This makes it suitable for background music in retail or hospitality settings and for paging in offices and classrooms, providing steady performance without harsh highs or muddled lows.
• Q: How much space does the installation require? A: The unit is designed for a 2' x 2' ceiling aperture with an integral backbox. Ensure your ceiling can accommodate this footprint and that there is enough clearance above the ceiling for wiring and heat dissipation.
• Q: Can the volume be adjusted after installation? A: Yes. The V-1422 includes an integrated volume control that lets you set the final level to match room acoustics and user preferences without additional external controllers.
• Q: What environments is the V-1422 best suited for? A: It excels in conference rooms, classrooms, retail floors, offices, hotels, and other commercial spaces where clear voice reproduction and pleasant background music enhance occupant experience and communication.
