Bogen SAH15 User manual

• 5-, 15-, and 30-watt models with built-in amplifiers
• All models operate from 24V DC power source
• Digital switching amplifier technology provides low
DC current draw and heat dissipation compared to
conventional analog amplifiers
• Low heat dissipation allows units to operate with
continuous background music and in higher ambient
temperatures than conventional analog self-ampli-
fied horn speakers
• Excellent extended frequency response from 1.6"
diameter voice coil and 90mm, 12-ounce magnet
structure (SAH5 and SAH15) or 100mm, 16-ounce
magnet structure (SAH30)
• Predictable dispersion pattern over the full
frequency range ensures excellent intelligibility and
ease of layout
• 3 ways to position speaker (rotate, tilt, and swivel)
• Weatherproof, UV-protected plastic housing
• Simple and secure cast aluminum swivel mount
• Screw terminal strip for easy wire connections
• Indexed volume control knob
• Easily removable access cover
• Slot in the base allows strapping to be used as a
means of mounting the horn to electrical boxes
(mounting strap included)
• Mountable to an I-beam flange using Bogen's BC1
beam clamp (not included)
• Two-Year Warranty

Digital Switching
Self-Amplified Horns
Models SAH5, SAH15 & SAH30
The SAH5, SAH15, and SAH30 powered horn loudspeakers employ digital switching amplifier technology
resulting in low DC current draw and low heat dissipation.This means fewer power supplies, longer cable
runs, and the capacity to work at higher ambient temperatures when compared to conventional analog self-
amplified horn speakers.
The horn loudspeakers can be positioned in any orientation (rotate, tilt, or swivel).The shape of the horn flare
provides a controlled dispersion of sound for better intelligibility.
They can be used in any environment, indoors or outdoors, without affecting sound quality.

Self-Amplified paging systems are made up of equipment that
consume or provide operating current.To operate properly, the
system needs to provide at least as much 24V current as it con-
sumes.
Each product has a Current Units number.This number is either
positive, negative, or zero to indicate how much current
it provides or consumes from the system.
Note: 1 CU = 50 mA

The SAH5, SAH15, and SAH30 shall be self-amplified
horn loudspeakers. All loudspeakers shall operate
from a 24V DC (nominal) power source. All models
shall employ digital switching amplifier technology to
provide low DC current draw and heat dissipation.
