Crestron SAROS IC4P 3 in. Passive Full-Range In-Ceiling Speaker

Crestron part number SAROS IC4P-W

The Crestron SAROS IC4P is a 3 in. passive full-range in-ceiling speaker using a Balanced Mode Radiator transducer for broad coverage. It can run as a satellite from a SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W network speaker through an RJ-45 connection, or from an external amplifier through its terminal block input.

Crestron SAROS IC4P Saros 3 in. Passive Full-Range In-Ceiling Speaker, White, Textured

About the Crestron SAROS IC4P

A single 2.83 in. (72 mm) BMR transducer covers the full 90 Hz to 30 kHz (±3 dB) range, which Crestron says gives wider coverage angles than a traditional conical woofer with a concentric tweeter. Coverage is 170° conical for speech and 140° for music, and sensitivity is 86 dB at 1 W/1 m. Power handling for the BMR is 25 W.

There are two ways to drive it. The RJ-45 audio input is for use with the SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W only, which can power up to three of these speakers from its speaker-level outputs, and the IC4P's white LED behaviour is then set in that speaker's web UI. Alternatively, a 2-pin 5 mm terminal block accepts the speaker output of an external amplifier, at 8 Ohms (7.4 Ohms nominal), with a maximum power output of 25 W.

The plenum-rated painted steel enclosure has 0.75 in. (19 mm) conduit knockouts and a cable clamp. Four two-step toggle clamps hold it in ceilings up to 2.36 in. (60 mm) thick through a 6.5 in. (165 mm) recommended cutout, and a tile bridge is included for drop-tile ceilings. The magnetic grille has a white textured finish and a safety tether, and the speaker weighs 2.35 lb (1.06 kg).

Questions about the Crestron SAROS IC4P

What is the Crestron SAROS IC4P?

It is a 3 in. passive full-range in-ceiling speaker from the Saros range. A single 2.83 in. Balanced Mode Radiator covers 90 Hz to 30 kHz, with 170° coverage for speech and 140° for music. It can be driven by a SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W or by an external amplifier.

How does the SAROS IC4P connect to a SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W?

It uses its RJ-45 audio input, which is for use with the SAROS DM-NAX-IC4A-W only. The DM-NAX-IC4A-W has three RJ-45 speaker-level outputs and can power up to three IC4P-W speakers. When paired, the IC4P's white LED behaviour is set through the DM-NAX-IC4A-W web UI.

Can the SAROS IC4P be used with a normal amplifier?

Yes. A 2-pin 5 mm detachable terminal block provides an alternate speaker input for an external amplifier, with an impedance of 8 Ohms (7.4 Ohms nominal). Connected this way, the maximum power output of the Balanced Mode Radiator is 25 W.

What is a Balanced Mode Radiator?

It is the type of transducer used in this speaker. A single 2.83 in. (72 mm) BMR drives the entire 90 Hz to 30 kHz range, and Crestron says it gives coverage angles beyond those of a traditional conical woofer with a concentric tweeter, with enhanced clarity and wider dispersion.

How does it mount?

It is a flush ceiling mount using four integral two-step toggle clamps, for ceilings up to 2.36 in. (60 mm) thick, with a recommended cutout of 6.5 in. (165 mm). A tile bridge is included for drop-tile ceilings. Mounting depth is 4.28 in. (109 mm).

How much is the Crestron SAROS IC4P?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the SAROS IC4P directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the SAROS IC4P?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the SAROS IC4P on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the SAROS IC4P come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the SAROS IC4P develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the SAROS IC4P in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the SAROS IC4P without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. If you are not sure it suits your system, send us the part numbers you already have and we will check.
