TOA Electronics IP Ceiling Mount Speaker 8W (Round) - IP-A1PC580R

The TOA IP-A1PC580R is a PoE-powered, 8-inch round ceiling speaker with a built-in 8 W Class-D amplifier designed for IP audio distribution in commercial facilities. Connecting via a single CAT5e or better network cable for both power and audio, it registers as a SIP endpoint on VoIP phone systems — enabling voice paging, announcements, and pre-recorded message playback without additional amplification infrastructure. The 20 cm (8") dual cone driver delivers a broad 50 Hz to 16.5 kHz frequency response from a standard 9-inch ceiling cutout.

The IP-A1PC580R supports twenty multicast ports for zone-based paging, ONVIF audio backchannel reception from Video Management Systems, and local storage of up to 20 audio files (WAV or MP3) in 80 MB of onboard memory. A balanced LINE/MIC input with selectable phantom power enables local microphone connection for talkback or external audio source input. Two control inputs and one control output provide integration with building automation systems, access control, and other facility hardware via HTTP or HTTPS API commands.

Key Features

Typical Applications

The IP-A1PC580R 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. It is particularly effective in facilities with existing VoIP phone infrastructure, and in VMS-integrated security environments requiring audio alongside video surveillance.

Technical Specifications

FAQ

• Does the IP-A1PC580R 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 required. The speaker secures with a screw-in mounting mechanism.
• Can it be called from a desk phone to initiate paging? Yes. The IP-A1PC580R registers as a standard SIP endpoint and can be called directly from SIP-compatible desk phones and paging controllers.
• What is the difference from the IP-A1PC580S? Both share identical electronics and performance. The IP-A1PC580R is a round ceiling-mount speaker (Ø324 mm); the IP-A1PC580S is a square surface-mount speaker (318 × 318 mm).
• Is UL 2043 plenum installation supported? Yes, with the optional HY-BC580U back can, which provides UL 2043 certification for plenum-rated ceiling spaces.
