DSA1X Speaker
General Description
Introduction
The DSA1X Speaker is a 100-watt non-amplified speaker that can be powered from
Federal Signal UltraVoice controllers or any 25 or 70 V amplifier system and can be
used in hazardous locations. Use the DSA1X as a warning and alert device with audible
signals (tone or voice).
The DSA1X is an addition to the DSA family, and can be combined with the DSA2,
DSA4, and DSA6 for flexible mass notification designs. The DSA1X includes stainless
steel mounting hardware for wall or ceiling mount. Optional mounting brackets include
large or small mounts and a unique omnidirectional mounting bracket. The DSA1X
enclosure has multiple access points to allow installation of strobes, sensors, or lights.
The DSA1X Speaker is an ideal solution for existing notification systems where lack of
coverage exists, but the coverage area does not require the higher power levels of the
larger DSA Speakers.
The DSA1X is designed for outdoor use and large indoor structures. All wiring interfaces
are accessible through internal connectors and built-in NPT entrances for quick and easy
installation. If the NEC or Local electrical codes allow for using a cable gland, the gland
must be Listed. The DSA1X has ¾ inch and ½ inch NPT entry sizes.
The DSA1X comes with an adjustable stainless-steel wall mount bracket that allows the
angle of the speaker to be adjusted. Optional pole mount brackets are available for small
and large diameter poles.
