TOA Electronics 8" IP Square Speaker with PoE and Phantom Power (Square) - IP-A1PC580S

The TOA IP-A1PC580S is a PoE-powered, 8-inch square surface-mount speaker with a built-in 8 W Class-D amplifier for IP audio distribution in commercial facilities. Sharing the same electronics platform as the IP-A1PC580R round ceiling speaker, it delivers identical audio performance — 50 Hz to 16.5 kHz, 97 dB sensitivity, 106 dB max SPL — in a square 318 × 318 mm profile suited to tile-grid ceiling systems and surface mounting applications where a round cutout is not preferred.

It connects via a single CAT5e or better network cable for both power and audio, registering as a SIP endpoint on VoIP systems. The IP-A1PC580S supports SIP calling, 20 multicast zones, ONVIF audio backchannel from Video Management Systems, and local storage of up to 20 audio files for offline or triggered playback. A balanced LINE/MIC input with phantom power, two contact control inputs, and one open-collector control output provide integration with building automation and security platforms.

Key Features

Typical Applications

The IP-A1PC580S is suited for office buildings, corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, retail stores, hotels, transportation terminals, and government facilities where IP network paging is preferred over traditional 70 V constant-voltage systems. Its square tile-compatible profile makes it especially appropriate for suspended ceiling tile grids in open-plan offices and commercial interiors, and for VMS-integrated environments requiring audio alongside video surveillance.

Technical Specifications

FAQ

• How does the IP-A1PC580S differ from the IP-A1PC580R? Both share identical electronics, amplifier, driver, and network capabilities. The IP-A1PC580S is a square surface-mount speaker (318 × 318 mm); the IP-A1PC580R is a round in-ceiling model (Ø324 mm) designed for circular cutout installations.
• Does the IP-A1PC580S need a separate amplifier? No. It has an integrated 8 W Class-D amplifier and draws power via PoE — only a PoE-capable network switch is required.
• What ceiling cutout size is needed? A standard 9-inch (Ø228.6 mm) circular cutout is used despite the square form factor of the speaker. The unit secures with a screw-in mounting mechanism.
• Can it be called from a desk phone to initiate paging? Yes. The IP-A1PC580S registers as a standard SIP endpoint and can be called directly from SIP-compatible desk phones and paging controllers.
• Is a back box available for surface mounting? Yes. The optional Q-BB-580W Square Surface Mount Back Box is available for surface installation or where a back box is required by local code.
