About the Extron FF 220T Full-Range 70/100V Flat Field Speakers with Low Profile Enclosure
The Extron FF 220T is a high-performance, full-range surface-mount loudspeaker engineered for high-quality distributed audio and paging applications in professional, commercial, and institutional environments. Its defining characteristic is the proprietary Flat Field technology, which delivers exceptionally uniform sound coverage across a wide listening area, minimizing the volume drop-off and "hot spots" typical of conventional cone speakers. This is achieved through a carefully designed waveguide and transducer alignment that creates a coherent wavefront, ensuring consistent audio intelligibility and tonal balance for listeners whether they are directly on-axis or at the far edges of the coverage pattern. The speaker is housed in a sleek, low-profile enclosure designed for discreet, aesthetically pleasing installation on walls or ceilings, blending into modern architectural interiors.
The speaker is highly versatile in its powering options, featuring a built-in multi-tap 70V/100V constant voltage transformer. This allows it to be seamlessly integrated into large-scale distributed sound systems where multiple speakers are connected in parallel on a single amplifier channel over long cable runs. The transformer includes multiple power tap settings, enabling installers to precisely adjust the power delivered to each speaker based on its location and required output level, ensuring even coverage throughout a facility. The FF 220T is also capable of operating in a standard low-impedance (8-ohm) mode for applications requiring higher fidelity, such as background music in premium spaces. Its full-range driver is optimized for voice reproduction and music, offering a balanced frequency response that prioritizes clarity in the critical midrange while providing adequate bass extension for a natural sound.
Constructed with durability in mind, the enclosure is made from high-impact, paintable plastic, allowing it to be color-matched to its surroundings. It features an integrated, paintable grille with a baffle geometry designed to support the Flat Field dispersion. The installation process is streamlined with a template-driven design, integrated cable management, and a secure, torsion-lock mounting system that ensures a firm, rattle-free attachment to the surface. For system designers and integrators, the Extron FF 220T represents a premium solution for demanding audio distribution tasks. It delivers the crucial combination of superior, even sound coverage, installation flexibility, and architectural discretion, making it an ideal choice for corporate boardrooms, airports, universities, retail stores, and any application where reliable, clear, and consistent audio is required across a broad area.
