Valcom S-500VC 8 Inch In-ceiling Speaker Volume Control

Product Description

The VALCOM S-500VC is an 8-inch in-ceiling speaker with an integrated volume control, designed for commercial and institutional paging, background music, and intercom distribution systems. The speaker mounts flush into a standard ceiling grid or drywall cutout and connects to a central amplifier or paging controller. The onboard volume control allows for local level adjustment without returning to the head-end equipment. Installation is handled by low-voltage or audio-visual technicians as part of a distributed sound system.

The S-500VC is well suited for office buildings, schools, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and retail environments where zone-level volume adjustment is required at the speaker location. It fits into typical drop-ceiling tile or hard-lid ceiling installations and is sold as a single unit. The 8-inch cone driver provides broad coverage appropriate for mid-size rooms and open-plan spaces served by a 70-volt or 25-volt distributed audio system.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or audio-visual technician. Shut down and de-energize the amplifier or paging controller before making speaker wiring connections. Follow NEC Article 640 guidelines for audio signal wiring and maintain proper separation from line-voltage conductors. Do not exceed the power tap rating of the transformer when wiring multiple speakers on a single zone circuit.
