AtlasIED VP161A-APF Recessed Vandal-Proof Baffle for APF Speakers

The AtlasIED VP161A-APF is engineered for integrators and facilities managers who need reliable, tamper-resistant speaker mounting in high-traffic or environmentally exposed locations. Designed specifically for APF series re-entrant horn speakers, this recessed baffle addresses the security and durability demands of applications such as correctional facilities, transit hubs, outdoor stadiums, and industrial installations where standard speaker hardware is insufficient.

Manufactured from a special self-aging aluminum alloy rated at 44,000 P.S.I. tensile strength, the VP161A-APF provides structural integrity that outlasts standard die-cast alternatives. The perforated CRS stud-mounting plate reinforces the grille assembly, while installation is secured using heat-treated alloy screws countersunk into the frame — a special wrench is included to deter tampering. The neoprene gasket creates a weatherproof seal suitable for both indoor and outdoor deployment, and the textured white epoxy finish resists corrosion and UV degradation over extended service life.

For AV integrators specifying distributed audio systems in environments where vandalism or moisture exposure is a concern, the VP161A-APF eliminates the need for aftermarket security hardware. Its flush or surface-mount flexibility reduces installation labor while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Backed by a five-year warranty, this baffle represents a long-term infrastructure investment appropriate for permanent installed sound applications.
