Valcom V-936480 Square Grille Faceplate
Overview
The Valcom V-936480 is a square grille faceplate designed to mount and protect 8-inch speaker assemblies in commercial audio installations. Featuring a round hole pattern and finished in white light-texture powder paint, this faceplate integrates into multi-zone and distributed audio systems where speaker protection and aesthetic integration are critical. The V-936480 (often searched as V 936480) is engineered for consistent acoustic performance while providing mechanical security for speaker hardware.
Key Features
- 8-Inch Speaker Compatibility: Designed specifically to mount and protect 8-inch speaker assemblies in standard mounting configurations
- Square Grille Design: Square form factor provides flexible installation in ceiling, wall, and flush-mount applications within commercial facilities
- Round Hole Pattern: Optimized perforation pattern for consistent acoustic transparency and speaker output distribution
- White Powder Paint Finish: Light-texture white powder coat provides durability and clean aesthetic integration in office, educational, hospitality, and institutional environments
- Microphone Support: Audio input capability enables two-way communication and monitoring when integrated with compatible Valcom amplification and control equipment
- Hardware Included: Fastening hardware supplied for direct mounting to speaker frame or structural mounting surface
Integration & Compatibility
The V-936480 integrates with Valcom multi-zone audio distribution systems, including page adapters, amplifiers, and zone controllers. The grille faceplate mounts directly to Valcom 8-inch speaker assemblies and is compatible with standard commercial in-ceiling and in-wall speaker mounting frames. Microphone support allows installation as part of two-way communication networks in facilities requiring announcement and intercom capability.
Mechanical Specifications
The faceplate is manufactured to withstand standard commercial installation and operational environments. White light-texture powder paint provides both protection and visual uniformity across distributed speaker installations. The grille design maintains acoustic transparency while protecting the speaker cone and frame from dust, debris, and physical contact—critical in high-traffic commercial facilities where speaker accessibility may be unavoidable.
Deployment Environments
The V-936480 is suitable for indoor commercial installations including offices, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels, retail spaces, and other facilities requiring distributed audio messaging and background music. The white finish and square grille form factor provide aesthetic compatibility with drop-tile ceilings, suspended ceiling systems, and standard commercial architectural finishes. The microphone-capable design supports facilities requiring emergency mass notification, paging, and two-way communication integrated with facility management systems.

The Valcom V-936480 is a foundational component in distributed audio installations where speaker protection and consistent acoustic performance matter. During facility deployments, we've found this faceplate essential for maintaining both system reliability and visual standards across multi-zone implementations.
Technical Highlights:
- Speaker Protection: Round hole pattern grille shields 8-inch speaker assembly while maintaining full acoustic output
- Audio Input Capability: Microphone support enables integration into two-way communication and monitoring networks
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify 8-inch speaker assembly compatibility before specifying; confirm mounting frame standard (flush vs. surface mount)
- White powder finish integrates cleanly into standard ceiling and wall installations; confirm color match with facility finishes
- Include in bills of material for any Valcom multi-zone system requiring speaker protection and microphone capability
Specify the V-936480 as part of your complete Valcom speaker and amplification specification. This faceplate ensures mechanical and acoustic integrity across the deployment lifecycle.
