Quam has announced the launch of the UL24 Series, an innovative product that merges a paging speaker and a fire signalling speaker into one unit. This cutting-edge solution is designed to save ceiling space and reduce installation labour costs, making it ideal for the educational, healthcare, and commercial industrial market segments.
Key Features and Benefits:
● Dual Functionality: The UL24 Series combines a mass notification speaker that connects to a fire panel and an emergency communication system (ECS) with a typical paging speaker that connects to an amplifier, call system, or school paging system. This integration streamlines installations, providing substantial labour savings.
● Space Efficiency: The UL24 Series is designed for 2’ x 2’ lay-in ceiling tile replacement, making it perfect for environments where ceiling space is valuable, such as classrooms and patient rooms.
● Superior Acoustic Performance: Equipped with two drivers and two different transformers, the UL24 Series maintains acoustic efficiency comparable to having separate speakers for each function.
● High Durability and Compliance: The UL24 Series features a powder-coated, perforated steel baffle and a lightweight speaker assembly, including an 8” fire-retardant speaker with a 10 oz. magnet and 4 Watt, 25/70V transformer with rotary tap selector. It also includes a line supervision capacitor and four seismic tie-off points to comply with local codes.
● Ease of Installation: The UL24 Series fully assembled 2’ x 2’ Tile Replacement Speakers can be installed in a ceiling tile grid in minutes, significantly reducing installation time and costs.
“The main point of differentiation and focus for the UL24 Series is the labour savings of having one device in one location, providing dual applications,” said Randy Moore, President of Quam Nichols. “This product is transformative for systems integration projects in segments like education and healthcare, where ceiling space real estate is highly valuable.”
