High Power Weather Resistant Paging Horn
for Use with 8 Ohm or 25V / 70V Systems
Features
The
300AE
paging horn provides a direct voice coil
connection for use with 8 ohm paging systems
such as Viking models
PA-2A
,
PA-15
,
HF-3W
,
DVA-2WA
and
M2W
. Even though its 30 watt
rating is greater than these lower power paging
amplifiers provide, the
300AE
is an excellent
choice because it is more efficient than Viking’s
smaller
25AE
paging horn. In other words, the
larger
300AE
only needs 1 watt of power to play
as loud as 2 watts being driven into the smaller
25AE
paging horn.
The
300AE
paging horn also provides a built-in
step-down transformer for use with 25V or 70V
paging systems such as Viking models
PA-30
and
PA-60
. The transformer has a range of power taps
that are selectable with a 6 position rotary switch,
so that installers are able to independently adjust
the volume of each paging horn. These higher
voltage paging systems also have the advantage
of being able to connect more speakers using
lighter gauge wire runs and still have less volume
lost in wire resistance.
The
300AE
weather resistant design allows for use
in outdoor, factory, or warehouse environments. Its
larger size and greater frequency response
provide greater intelligibility of voice pages and is
suitable for background music. The directional
design allows the installer to focus the sound cone
down aisles and toward work areas. The included
mounting hardware provides full adjustment of
horizontal and vertical positioning.
