The Hanwha SPA-C110W is a professional-grade IP ceiling speaker designed for intelligent audio distribution in commercial, educational, and industrial spaces. It integrates a 10 W Class-D amplifier and supports both PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), allowing audio and power to be delivered over a single network cable for simple, efficient installation.
The SPA-C110W delivers clear and balanced audio across a 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range, with a sensitivity of 90 dB @ 1 W and a maximum sound pressure level of 100 dB when powered via PoE+. The unit is ideal for paging, background music (BGM), or voice notifications.
This network speaker supports advanced features such as multicast streaming, SIP/VoIP compatibility, text-to-speech (TTS), dry-contact inputs/outputs, and zone-based audio management — making it suitable for integration with IP-based security and public address systems.
Its plenum-rated design allows for safe installation in ceiling cavities, and the slim white grille blends seamlessly with standard ceiling tiles. With 1 GB internal storage and a microSD slot (up to 32 GB), users can store pre-recorded messages or background music directly on the speaker for independent playback.

Installer Notes
-
Mounts securely into ceiling tiles (Ø269 mm cutout) — confirm ceiling grid compatibility before cutting.
-
Ensure ceiling structure supports the 2.7 kg speaker weight and 156.5 mm depth clearance.
-
Use PoE+ where maximum volume output is required (e.g., large open areas).
-
Configure multicast or SIP parameters via the network interface for zone-based paging.
-
Store commonly used announcements or BGM on the internal memory or SD card for standalone playback.
-
Integrate with access control, fire, or alarm systems using dry-contact I/O triggers.
-
Use shielded Ethernet cable for long runs or electrically noisy environments.
-
Maintain airflow in ceiling cavities and ensure plenum installations meet local safety codes.
-
Always update firmware and apply network security best practices before deployment.
