Cost Effective Speakers for Indoor and Outdoor Use
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
,
PA-60
,
HF-3W
,
DVA-2WA
and
M2W
. Even though its 30 watt rating is greater than some 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
,
PA-60
,
PA-250, PP-250
and
PA-250-IP
. 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. 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. For more information on the
300AE
, see
DOD 497

C. Use with Viking Model PA-30 or PA-60 Amplifiers
Step 1.
Connect the RED (+) and GREEN (-) wires to the “70V OUT” screw terminals of the
PA-30
or
PA-60
.
Step 2.
Use the “VIKING WATTS” scale on the back of the
25AE-70V
Paging Horn to adjust the volume by
turning the selection knob to the .16W, .31W, .62W, 1.25W, or 2.5W setting.

Viking models
PA-30
(
DOD 489
) and
PA-60
(
DOD 493
) have the ability to drive 25V and 70V paging speakers.
This is achieved by bridging together two differential 8 ohm outputs to get a high voltage output (see
DOD 489
and
493
for additional information). The achieved output voltage is actually between the 25V and 70V standards.
Because of this, the
25AE-70V
paging horn shows a third scaling option for the transformer tap selection knob
called “
VIKING WATTS
” in which there are six settings ranging from .16W to 2.5W. Use this scale to manage
power handling and adjust volume of each
25AE-70V
paging horn. Best results are achieved if the power sum of
all
25AE-70V
paging horns used does not excessively exceed the power output of the
PA-30
or
PA-60
amplifier.
