The AtlasIED FAP40T is a compact, commercial-grade 4-inch in-ceiling speaker designed to deliver clear speech intelligibility and balanced background music in offices, restaurants, retail stores, hotels, classrooms, and other commercial installations. Part of the AtlasIED Strategy Series II, the FAP40T combines a full-range polypropylene driver, a tuned ported enclosure, and flexible 70V/100V transformer operation in a discreet ceiling-mounted design.
Featuring a built-in 16-watt transformer and an 8-ohm bypass option, the FAP40T can accommodate distributed commercial audio systems as well as compatible low-impedance installations. Its patented tap selector also serves as a high-frequency diffuser, helping produce smooth, even sound coverage without requiring a separate tweeter.
For integrators and facility managers seeking dependable background music and paging performance without bulky ceiling speakers, the FAP40T provides an effective balance of sound quality, installation flexibility, and architectural appearance.
Clear Speech and Balanced Background Music
The AtlasIED FAP40T uses a 4-inch polypropylene single-cone driver with a tailored frequency response to reproduce announcements, paging messages, and background music with clarity.
Its patented combination tap selector and diffuser distributes high-frequency sound across the listening area, helping maintain intelligibility throughout the coverage zone.
With a rated 130-degree dispersion pattern, the FAP40T is well suited for installations where broad, consistent ceiling-speaker coverage is important.
The speaker delivers a frequency response of 100 Hz to 12 kHz (±3 dB), making it particularly useful for speech reinforcement and everyday commercial music applications.
Flexible 70V/100V and 8-Ohm Operation
The FAP40T includes an integrated 70.7V/100V transformer for use in distributed audio systems.
Selectable transformer taps of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 watts allow installers to adjust speaker output according to the room, ceiling height, and system design. Available tap settings depend on the system operating voltage.
An 8-ohm transformer bypass setting also allows the speaker to operate with an appropriately matched low-impedance amplifier.
This flexibility makes the FAP40T practical for both smaller commercial installations and larger multi-speaker distributed audio systems.
Tuned Ported Enclosure for Improved Low-Frequency Response
Unlike a basic open-back ceiling speaker, the AtlasIED FAP40T features a tuned, ported enclosure that helps extend low-frequency reproduction from its compact 4-inch driver.
This enclosure design supports fuller background music reproduction while maintaining the vocal clarity needed for paging and announcements.
For applications requiring more substantial low-frequency output, the FAP40T can be integrated with a compatible commercial subwoofer as part of a properly designed audio system.
Compact Design and Installer-Friendly Construction
The FAP40T is designed to blend into commercial ceilings while simplifying installation and system wiring.
Its low-profile, high-impact plastic enclosure includes a press-fit grille that provides a clean, unobtrusive appearance.
A two-pole terminal strip beneath a removable metal rear cover provides convenient wiring access. The connection arrangement supports loop-through wiring to additional speakers in properly designed distributed systems.
A tile bridge is included for suspended-ceiling applications, while the lightweight enclosure and mounting design also support installation in suitable drywall ceilings.
The FAP40T is UL 1480 Listed for applicable commercial loudspeaker installations.
