A. Description.
The Federal Signal Model AM30 is a conservatively rated 30-watt constant-directivity paging
projector for use in any public address or paging application.
The driver employs a rugged phenolic diaphragm, 1.5-inch diameter voice coil, and “rim
centered” ferrite magnet structure for long life and durability under extreme operating
conditions.
A 12-inch connecting cable, phased and color coded, is provided for connecting to the AM30.
A nominal 60
°
horizontal by 40
°
vertical coverage pattern together with a low-frequency cutoff
of 350 Hz provides excellent articulation in demanding applications.
The AM30 is molded from high-impact ultraviolet inhibiting ASA (acrylic styrene acryloni-
trile). A positive lock super tough nylon swivel base provides maximum mounting flexibility
and ease of installation.
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, these drivers are well suited for any installation
requiring rugged, reliable performance.
