Controller Amplifier

The PVCA 452 Controller Amplifier is the central component of the PlenumVault Direct View System and VoiceLift Pro Microphone System. It features sophisticated audio capabilities, including an integrated 50 watt stereo amplifier that is capable of driving four Extron speakers and filling the room with full, rich sound. The VoiceLift® Receiver input simplifies VoiceLift Microphone integration. The PVCA 452 can also mix audio from the microphone system as well as additional audio sources, allowing instructors to narrate over AV lesson presentations, add music, and perform other sophisticated audio management to make AV lessons more engaging. A line level output allows system audio to be used for remote learning or assistive listening. Audio file playback allows the system to play pre-recorded audio announcements stored in memory.

The PVCA 452 also has built-in control capabilities that simplify AV integration for learning spaces. Ethernet, RS-232, IR, serial, digital I/O, and eBUS ports, plus CEC capability are available to control and interface with other equipment in the classroom. Compatibility with several types of user interfaces enables you to accommodate a variety of system designs. The PVCA 452 can also be configured and controlled over the network via Ethernet.

Flat Field Speaker
FF 120

FF 120

Extron Exclusive Patented Flat Field® Speaker

The Extron FF 120 is a full-range sound field speaker designed for Extron Classroom AV 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 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 a wide frequency range 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.

Patented Flat Field® Technology

Extron’s patented 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 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, 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 Extron Classroom AV 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, the FF 120 drops into the space of a standard 1' x 2' ceiling tile, and includes a T-bar which can be used with a larger ceiling tile trimmed to fill out the space. It also provides theft deterrence with a neutral white, perforated steel grille that matches the appearance of standard air conditioning vents and grid ceilings.
