Cost Effective Speakers for
Indoor and Outdoor Use
Features
The 25AE, 30AE, 35AE,
and 40AE paging speak-
ers provide additional
economical paging cov-
erage to existing Viking
paging units (PA-2A,
PA-15, PA-30, PA-60,
HF-3W, M2W) or to any
system with an 8 ohm
output.
In outdoor, factory or
warehouse environments, 25AE paging
horns are the best method of producing
understandable sound. In these environ-
ments the directional design allows the in-
staller to focus the sound cone down aisles
and toward work areas.
In office and restaurant environments, it is
best to distribute sound more evenly. Ceil-
ing mounted 30AE, 35AE, or 40AE speak-
ers in close proximity offer the best
distribution and are cost effective. The
35AE speakers include a volume control.
