and should be spaced 20 feet apart.  Good quality paging and music will be heard up 
to 30 feet in front of the speaker.  The V-1440 requires -24VDC, 300mA (6 Valcom 
power units).  The speaker is available in white, black, brown and gray with a color 
coordinated cloth grille.  Custom colors are available upon request.
