Commercial loudspeaker manufacturer Quam recently announced the release of its UL24 Series, a tile-replacement loudspeaker featuring both a paging speaker and a fire signaling speaker, according to a news release. The product was designed for educational, healthcare, and commercial markets both to save ceiling space and reduce the costs of installation.

“The main point of differentiation and focus for the UL24 Series is the labor savings of having one device in one location, providing dual applications,” said Quam Nichols President Randy Moore. “This product is transformative for systems integration projects in segments like education and healthcare, where ceiling space real estate is highly valuable.”

Key features and benefits include the dual functionality of a mass notification speaker connected to a fire panel and emergency communication system. The product is designed to fit a 2’x2’ lay-in ceiling tile space for efficiency. Its acoustic performance is boosted by two drivers and two different transformers. It also offers high durability and compliance with local fire codes. Finally, according to the news release, it can be installed within a ceiling tile grid in a matter of minutes.
