Quam Nichols Company System 17/8 Ceiling Tile Speaker

Product Description

The QUAM NICHOLS COMPANY SYSTEM 17/8 is a ceiling tile speaker designed for in-ceiling audio distribution in commercial and institutional settings. Rated at 20 watts with an 8-ohm impedance, this speaker mounts directly into a standard ceiling tile grid, making it a clean, low-profile solution for background music, paging, and voice evacuation systems. Installation is typically handled by licensed low-voltage or audio-visual contractors working within suspended ceiling environments. The unit ships as a single piece and is suited for projects where aesthetics and space efficiency are both priorities.

The SYSTEM 17/8 is intended for in-ceiling installations in spaces such as offices, retail environments, schools, and healthcare facilities. Its tile-mount form factor allows it to integrate directly into a standard drop ceiling grid without the need for additional enclosures or custom cutouts. It is well suited for distributed audio systems where multiple zones require consistent, unobtrusive speaker placement. Contractors working on commercial build-outs or retrofit projects will find this unit straightforward to integrate into existing low-voltage audio runs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or audio-visual technician familiar with distributed audio systems. Disconnect and power down the amplifier or audio distribution panel before making any wiring connections. Verify that the source amplifier or mixer is rated to drive 8-ohm loads before connecting. Follow applicable local electrical codes and any relevant NEC low-voltage wiring requirements during installation.
