Using digital switching amplifier technology, the SAH5 and SAH15
self-amplified horn loudspeakers provide unprecedented low DC current
draw and heat dissipation, allowing them to use fewer power supplies,
run on a longer cable run, and work at higher ambient temperatures than
conventional analog self-amplified horn speakers. The shape of the horn’s
flare provides a controlled dispersion of sound for better intelligibility.
The horn can be rotated on its axis, offering wide dispersion patterns,
vertically or horizontally, depending on its position. In addition, these
weatherproof, plastic horns are extremely durable and rugged. They can be
used in any environment, indoors or outdoors, without affecting sound quality.

• 5- and 15-watt models with built-in amplifiers
• Digital switching amplifier technology greatly reduces current
consumption when compared to conventional analog
self-amplified horn loudspeakers
• Low heat dissipation of the digital switching amplifier allows units
to operate with continuous background music and in higher
ambient temperatures than conventional analog amplifiers
• Excellent extended frequency response from 1.6'' diameter
voice coil and 90 mm, 12-ounce magnet structure
• Predictable dispersion pattern over the full frequency range
ensures excellent intelligibility and ease of layout
• Weatherproof, UV-protected
plastic housing
• Removable access cover protects terminals
and volume control
•
Rotatable horn allows
for the use of a wider
vertical or horizontal dispersion pattern
• Simple and secure, cast aluminum
swivel mount
• Screw terminal strip for easy wire connections
• Complies with FCC Part 15 requirements

MIN. CURRENT UNITS (CU)
See page 11 to select a Power Supply.
Use the chart for the speaker you will use (SAH5 or SAH15):
1. Choose the level of ambient noise in the area to be covered.
2. Locate the area's square footage.
3. Where these two measurements meet are two numbers. The number in GREEN is the number of speakers required. The number
in RED is the number of Current Units (CU) needed for that many speakers. (You may need to increase the number of speakers in
areas where large objects or shelving project into the coverage area, blocking sound.)
Current Units (min.) = Number in RED
