Crestron SAROS ICI4T-W-T – 4-Inch 2-Way In-Ceiling Speaker, White Textured

Product Overview

The Crestron Saros ICI4T-W-T is a 4-inch 2-way in-ceiling speaker in white textured finish, engineered for commercial background music, paging, and sound reinforcement applications in conference rooms, offices, corridors, and retail environments. A built-in multi-tap 70V/100V transformer enables direct connection to constant-voltage distributed speaker systems without external transformer hardware, while 8Ω Lo-Z operation supports direct-drive amplification in smaller zones. Horn-loaded titanium dome tweeter and a polypropylene woofer deliver the broad frequency coverage and even dispersion required for commercial ceiling speaker installations. Sold individually.

Product Description

Commercial ceiling speaker selection requires balancing acoustic performance, installation flexibility, and system integration within the constraints of the installed ceiling type and room geometry. The ICI4T-W-T addresses these requirements through its 2-way design — the 4-inch polypropylene woofer handles midrange and low-frequency content while the horn-loaded titanium dome tweeter provides controlled high-frequency dispersion across the coverage area. The 70V/100V multi-tap transformer allows a single amplifier to drive multiple ceiling speakers in a distributed constant-voltage zone, which is the standard approach for background music and paging in commercial buildings with large coverage areas. The in-ceiling form factor integrates flush with standard drop-ceiling and drywall ceilings; the white textured finish matches commercial ceiling tile without painting. The magnetically attached steel grille eliminates visible screws for a clean architectural appearance in office, lobby, retail, and hospitality environments where ceiling aesthetics matter. Priced and sold individually, so quantities can be specified precisely for each zone without overage.

Key Features

• 4-Inch 2-Way Design: Polypropylene woofer and horn-loaded titanium dome tweeter deliver full-range frequency response suited for commercial background music, voice paging, and sound reinforcement — the 2-way configuration outperforms single-driver ceiling speakers across the speech intelligibility frequency range critical for commercial paging applications.
• Built-In 70V/100V Multi-Tap Transformer: Integrated constant-voltage transformer enables direct wiring into 70V or 100V distributed speaker systems without external tap boxes or additional transformer hardware — simplifying commercial distributed audio installation and reducing component count per speaker.
• Lo-Z 8Ω Operation: Selectable 8Ω Lo-Z mode enables direct-drive connection to standard commercial power amplifiers in smaller zones where a distributed 70V/100V system is not used.
• Horn-Loaded Titanium Dome Tweeter: Controlled high-frequency dispersion from the horn-loaded tweeter provides even coverage across the speaker’s service area, reducing hot spots and dead zones in commercial spaces with reflective ceiling and wall surfaces.
• Magnetically Attached Grille: Steel grille attaches magnetically without visible screws — provides a clean architectural appearance in office, retail, hospitality, and lobby ceiling installations where aesthetics are important to the end client.
• White Textured Finish: Standard white textured finish matches commercial drop-ceiling tiles and painted gypsum ceilings without requiring custom painting or finish work.
• Flush In-Ceiling Form Factor: Installs flush in standard drop-ceiling or drywall ceiling cutouts, compatible with commercial ceiling construction in office buildings, conference centers, and commercial retail environments.
• Sold Individually: Priced and sold per speaker, allowing precise quantity specification for each distributed audio zone without minimum pair or package requirements.

Typical Applications

• Office buildings with 70V/100V distributed ceiling speaker systems for background music and voice paging across open plan, corridor, and private office areas
• Conference rooms and boardrooms with ceiling speaker fill for audio reinforcement and videoconferencing room-fill audio from UC systems
• Retail environments requiring evenly distributed background music and paging coverage across sales floor and back-of-house areas
• Hospitality lobbies, corridors, and dining areas with distributed ceiling audio for background music ambience
• Houses of worship with overflow and lobby ceiling speaker coverage fed from a 70V/100V distributed audio system
• Corporate training facilities with ceiling speaker reinforcement for instructor audio coverage across rows of participant seating
• Healthcare facilities with background music and patient information paging across waiting areas, corridors, and clinical spaces

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this speaker require a separate 70V transformer for distributed audio systems?
No — the ICI4T-W-T includes a built-in multi-tap 70V/100V transformer. It wires directly into a constant-voltage 70V or 100V speaker line from a commercial amplifier without any external tap box or additional transformer hardware.

What is the tapping wattage selection process?
The tap wattage is selected by adjusting a screwdriver-accessible control on the speaker during installation. This sets the portion of the amplifier’s output the speaker draws, enabling the system designer to control individual speaker volume levels within the distributed zone. Refer to the Crestron data sheet for available tap values.

Can this speaker be used in a Lo-Z (8Ω) configuration without the 70V transformer?
Yes — the ICI4T-W-T can be configured for 8Ω Lo-Z operation for direct connection to a standard power amplifier output in smaller zones that don’t use a constant-voltage distribution system. Contact Creation Networks for system design guidance.

Is a back can or enclosure required for drywall ceiling installation?
In-ceiling speakers in open-plenum drywall ceilings may benefit from a back can for improved bass response and to meet plenum fire rating requirements. Refer to Crestron’s installation documentation or contact Creation Networks for installation guidance specific to your ceiling construction type.

What amplifier pairs with this speaker in a Crestron distributed audio system?
For 70V/100V distributed systems, the ICI4T-W-T is compatible with Crestron AMP-8150, AMP-X300, and AMP-X50MP amplifiers operating in Hi-Z mode. Contact Creation Networks for complete distributed audio system design.

What is the warranty on the Crestron Saros ICI4T-W-T?
Crestron provides a standard 3-year limited warranty on Saros speakers. Contact Creation Networks for warranty service details.
