FF 120

The Extron FF 120 is a full-range sound field speaker designed specifically for

Extron PoleVault and VoiceLift Systems. Its UL 2043 plenum rated, low profile

enclosure fits easily into standard suspended ceilings. The FF 120 driver delivers

accurate voice and music reproduction using Extron’s exclusive patent pending

Flat Field Technology, delivering consistent sound levels across the listening area,

and reducing the number of speakers required. An exclusive horn-loaded design

significantly enhances low frequency response. The FF 120 is ideally suited for

classrooms with drop-in tile ceilings where sound must be distributed evenly to

each student throughout the entire classroom.

The Extron FF 120 is a full-range sound field speaker designed for Extron PoleVault and VoiceLift Systems. It features an Extron exclusive, UL 2043 plenum rated, 1' x 2' (30.5 cm x 61 cm) by 3.25" (8.3 cm) deep aluminized composite enclosure that drops into standard suspended ceilings, resting directly on the T-bar support grid and replacing a portion of an existing ceiling tile. With a low profile enclosure, this speaker is an excellent choice for ceiling installations with tight above-the-ceiling space issues, such as air handling units installed close to the ceiling. The full-range driver features an incredibly wide frequency response of 68 Hz to 18 kHz, 16 watts continuous pink noise, and 32 watts continuous program capacity. The FF 120 achieves an unusually deep bass response with our exclusive horn-loaded driver.

Patent Pending Flat Field Technology Extron’s patent pending Flat Field technology makes this speaker truly unique. Flat Field technology allows the FF 120 to reduce beaming of mid and high frequencies directly under the speaker, delivering consistent sound levels across the listening area to each student.

Extremely Wide Sound Dispersion The FF 120 offers an extraordinarily wide dispersion area of 170 degrees, which provides a very wide room coverage pattern. This is especially important for rooms with low ceilings.

With the combination of Flat Field Technology and wide dispersion area, only two FF 120 speakers are required in a standard classroom, as opposed to four or more traditional ceiling speakers.

This speaker is ideal for use with PoleVault and VoiceLift systems in low ceiling installations for maximum room coverage. This coverage optimizes voice intelligibility, which along with low bass response, is the most critical consideration for classroom microphone and program material applications. The FF 120 provides excellent voice clarity without compromising music reproduction.

For easy installation and theft deterrence, the FF 120 features a neutral white, perforated steel grille and included T-bar, which matches the appearance of standard air conditioning vents and grid ceilings.

Does Your Ceiling Speaker Really Meet UL Standards?Not all ceiling speakers on the market are UL listed. Those that are may be listed for commercial and professional use, but do not have the appropriate UL rating for installation and use in a plenum airspace. Because the space above a suspended tile ceiling is often used as a plenum air return for the HVAC system, it is essential that ceiling speakers have been properly tested and rated for minimal smoke and heat release in the event of a fire and to comply with building codes.

UL Listed and Plenum Rated A UL mark does not guarantee plenum applicability. Extron closed back ceiling speakers, however, are UL listed indicating they conform to specfied safety standards. Look closely at the label below. The FF 120 is UL 2043 listed for use in air handling spaces. It is also UL 1480 listed for commercial and professional use. Check a speaker's certification on UL's Web site, www.ul.com, before you specify it for a plenum ceiling application.

The FF 120 is designed for quick and easy installation into standard suspended tile ceilings. All that is necessary is to remove an existing ceiling tile, make the speaker wiring connections, and then place the FF 120 onto the T-bar support grid. Multiple seismic tabs simplify speaker anchoring. The process requires minimal effort and time without any pre-installation procedures necessary for the typical round speaker, such as cutting holes through ceiling tiles and mounting supporting hardware.

To complete the installation, simply cut the existing ceiling tile to fill out the space adjacent to the speaker and the included T-bar. The end result is a clean and inconspicuous speaker system that requires just minutes to install.

Listening Plane

Listening Plane

Many traditional ceiling speakers have difficulty providing even

sound pressure levels throughout a classroom with a limited

number of speakers. Typical results include gaps in coverage or

hot spots. These difficulties are eliminated with Extron patent

pending Flat Field technology that allows a minimum number of

speakers to provide consistent sound levels across the listening

area.

Speakers with Flat Field Technology eliminate gaps in coverage and hot spots by offering wide dispersion and even distribution of sound.

To compensate for gaps in coverage, sound levels may be increased. However this produces hot spots where the sound level is too loud.

Typical speaker installations produce gaps in coverage, or areas lower than optimal sound level, when attempting to produce the appropriate sound level at the listening plane.

Installation in three easy steps: (1) Remove ceiling tile, (2) Make wiring connections, (3) Place FF 120 on grid and anchor with seismic tabs. Trim ceiling tile to fit with provided T-bar.

The inconspicuous white grille allows the FF 120 to blend into the ceiling.
