Built to be wall-mountable, this 12 W RMS speaker provides clear voice reproduction for paging, announcements, and background music in classrooms, offices, retail spaces, hotels, meeting rooms, and industrial environments. With a focused 80 Hz to 15 kHz frequency range and a 45 Ohm impedance, the V-1061-W makes the most of your amplifier or distributed audio system by maximizing power transfer and minimizing distortion. The solid construction and discreet white finish blend into most interiors while offering dependable performance under daily use. This speaker is ideal for installations where a low-profile, high-clarity audio solution is required, without sacrificing coverage or intelligibility. Whether you’re upgrading an aging PA system or adding a new voice and music channel to a multi-zone setup, the V-1061-W delivers consistent, room-filling sound with simple, flexible mounting options.

• High-output, reliable 12 W RMS performance: The V-1061-W is designed to deliver clear paging and background music at practical listening levels across medium-sized rooms. Its power handling ensures consistent intelligibility even in spaces with ambient noise, while maintaining headroom for peak speech cues and musical transients. This makes it suitable for classrooms, retail aisles, lobbies, corridors, and small auditoriums where dependable coverage is essential.
• Wide, precise frequency response for voice and music: With a stated range from 80 Hz up to 15 kHz, the speaker captures deep low-end nuance and crisp high-end clarity. This breadth supports intelligible speech, natural-sounding announcements, and enjoyable background music without excessive equalization. In environments where paging must cut through HVAC noise or chatter, the V-1061-W helps ensure that every message lands with clarity and authority.
• Efficient 45 Ohm impedance for distributed audio systems: The 45-ohm design is optimized for certain distributed audio configurations, enabling effective power transfer from compatible amplifiers and line-matching networks. This impedance characteristic helps maximize output while minimizing load-related distortion in multi-speaker installations, making it a dependable choice for multi-room setups that require predictable performance across multiple speakers.
• Versatile, easy-to-install wall-mount surface-mount design: The V-1061-W combines a compact, unobtrusive footprint with straightforward mounting capability. Its surface-mount form factor allows quick, secure installation on walls without needing complex braces or enclosures. The white finish and slim profile help the unit blend with most interiors, preserving aesthetics while delivering practical, high-quality audio coverage in hallways, break rooms, and lecture spaces.
• Durable, maintenance-friendly construction and aesthetics: The 1-way speaker is built to endure daily use in commercial environments. Its clean, minimalist presentation minimizes visual disruption while resisting routine wear and tear. The choice of white coloration reduces visibility in many room designs, helping maintain a professional, cohesive look while delivering a dependable audio experience for announcements, paging, and background music.

How to Install Valcom V-1061-W

Installing the Valcom V-1061-W is designed to be straightforward for technicians and integrated into existing PA or background music systems with minimal disruption. Start by planning your coverage so that the speaker’s location provides even audio distribution and clear intelligibility for the intended audience. Consider sightlines, potential obstructions, and the presence of acoustic reflectors that may affect sound propagation. A well-placed V-1061-W can dramatically improve message reach and listening comfort without requiring additional units in adjacent spaces.

Before beginning, verify compatibility between the V-1061-W and your amplifier or distribution network. The speaker’s 45 Ohm impedance should be matched to your system’s design to ensure optimum power delivery and to avoid overloading the amplifier. Confirm that your power amplifier or line distribution supports the speaker’s 12 W RMS rating and that it can deliver consistent performance across the planned number of speaker connections. Power down the system before wiring to prevent accidental shocks or shorts during installation.

Wiring is the next step. Connect the speaker’s input terminals to the corresponding outputs on your amplifier or distribution network, observing correct polarity to preserve proper phase and avoid audible phase-related issues. Use appropriate speaker wire gauge for the distance between the amplifier and the speaker, and secure all connections to minimize movement or degradation over time. If you’re deploying multiple V-1061-W units in a multi-zone arrangement, plan for proper impedance management and ensure that the overall load remains within the amplifier’s specifications.

Mounting the V-1061-W is designed to be a quick, secure process. Attach the speaker to the wall using suitable mounting hardware for your wall type—studs, concrete, or drywall with anchors—and ensure the enclosure is firmly fastened. Check that there is sufficient clearance around the unit for ventilation and heat dissipation, and avoid obstructing the speaker’s sound path with decorative elements or furniture. When possible, position the speaker at an appropriate height and angle to maximize coverage and minimize reflective surfaces that could cause flutter echo or feedback in sensitive environments.

After mounting and wiring, restore power and perform a thorough test. Use voice, paging, and music samples to verify consistent level and coverage across the intended listening areas. Listen for any distortion, crackling, or channel imbalance, and adjust the placement or the system’s equalization as needed. If coverage gaps persist, consider adding additional V-1061-W units in strategic locations to achieve a uniform, natural sound field throughout the space. Routine maintenance, including periodic cleaning of dust from the grille and enclosure, will help preserve performance over time.
