Lightspeed DRQ Drop Ceiling Speaker
The Lightspeed DRQ is a low-profile, two-way drop-ceiling speaker that flush-mounts into a suspended ceiling tile to deliver clear, full-range sound evenly across the classroom. Paired with a Lightspeed amplifier system, the DRQ distributes the teacher's voice and multimedia audio so every student hears every word — with a clean, unobtrusive finish and wiring routed neatly overhead.
Why choose the DRQ
Clean, flush installation — sits flush in an acoustic ceiling tile with the supplied metal tile bridge; no bulky boxes on show.
Full-range, two-way sound — a 6.5" driver and 1" tweeter reproduce both speech and multimedia clearly.
Even room coverage — a set of four DRQs distributes sound evenly across a typical classroom.
Made for suspended ceilings — ideal for rooms with drop ceilings up to around 3.6 m (12 ft) high.
Coverage & compatibility
Four DRQ speakers cover classrooms of up to around 149 m² (1,600 sq ft) with 9–12 ft ceilings. Designed to work with a Lightspeed classroom amplifier system such as the T25 (or 975).

Lightspeed T25 Classroom Audio System (Amplifier + Clearmike)
The Lightspeed T25 is an installed classroom audio system built around a compact wireless amplifier hub. It delivers clear, even distribution of the teacher's voice, student voices and multimedia audio throughout the room, connecting to your ceiling or wall speakers for a permanent, professional install. The T25 is Lightspeed's successor to the long-running 975 amplifier, adding point-to-pair wireless, digital multimedia inputs and built-in integration with school life-safety systems.
Why schools choose the T25
Clear, even audio for the whole room — distributes the teacher's natural voice and multimedia evenly through ceiling or wall speakers, so every student hears every word.
One connected hub — brings the teacher microphone, classroom multimedia and student microphones together through a single amplifier.
Built for permanent installation — ideal for new builds, refurbishments and room additions where a fixed, out-of-the-way system is preferred.
Safety built in — integrates with your existing paging, fire and life-safety systems so critical announcements are never missed.
Point-to-pair wireless with the Clearmike
The T25 runs on Lightspeed's Access Technology (1.9 GHz) for longer wireless range with no Wi-Fi interference. Pairing is instant — simply point the Clearmike at the T25 to connect, so teachers can move between rooms or add components in seconds. The Clearmike wearable microphone includes programmable buttons and an alert button for one-touch safety notifications, plus 2-way USB audio to connect students learning from home.
Built-in life-safety integration
Paging: automatically mutes the instructional audio when a classroom announcement is broadcast.
Fire alarms: mutes the instructional audio when the fire alarm is activated.
Alert notifications: the teacher can trigger an alert directly from the microphone via the T25's contact-closure output.
Build your T25 system
The T25 is a modular system — choose the components to suit each room:
T25 amplifier + Clearmike teacher microphone — the core of every system
Speakers — TCS multimedia ceiling speakers, DRQ drop-ceiling speakers or WMQ wall speakers, selected to suit the room size and ceiling type
Student microphones — add Sharemike or T3 microphones so students can be heard clearly across the room and by remote peers

Lightspeed WMQ Wall Speaker
The Lightspeed WMQ is a compact, wall-mounted two-way speaker for classrooms where ceiling speakers aren't an option — rooms with solid ceilings, or ceilings too low for a drop-in speaker. Paired with a Lightspeed amplifier, a set of WMQs fills the room with clear, even sound so every student hears every word.
Why choose the WMQ
Made for solid or low ceilings — the wall-mount design suits rooms with ceilings as low as 2.4 m (8 ft), where ceiling speakers can't be used.
Aim the sound where it's needed — a pivoting wall bracket lets you direct each speaker to the ideal point in the room.
Clear, full-range audio — a 4" driver and 1" tweeter reproduce speech and multimedia clearly.
Even room coverage — a set of four WMQs distributes sound evenly across a typical classroom.
Coverage & compatibility
Four WMQ speakers cover classrooms of up to around 149 m² (1,600 sq ft). Designed to work with a Lightspeed classroom amplifier system such as the T25 (or 975).
