and high quality music reproduction from any Valcom Page Control. This

200mA (4 Valcom power units). The speaker is available in white and
supplied with a trim ring and grille.
NOTE: No power amplifier required. Do not connect this speaker directly to a

may occur. (Recommended nominal input level to the V-1450 is
-10dBm).
