Voice Alarm Loudspeaker
Voice alarm loudspeaker are specifically designed for
use in buildings where performance of systems for
verbal communication announcements is governed by
regulations. The LS1-UC20E is designed for use in voice
alarm systems and is compliant with Britsh Standard BS
5839 part 8.

ensuring loudspeakers in other areas can still be used to
inform people of the situation. The loudspeaker is
supplied with a ceramic terminal block and thermal fuse.

advanced filtering, have resulted in a very natural sound
reproduction with excellent bass response.

Quality Assurance
All Bosch loudspeakers are designed to withstand
operating at their rated power for 100 hours in
accordance with IEC 268-5 Power Handling Capacity
(PHC) standards. Bosch has also developed the
Simulated Acoustical Feedback Exposure (SAFE) test to
demonstrate that they can withstand two times their
rated power for short durations. This ensures extra
reliability under extreme conditions, leading to higher
customer satisfaction, longer operating life, and much
less chance of failure or performance deterioration.
Safety Aspects
In common with all Bosch products, care is taken to
meet high safety standards. All ABS parts are selfextinguishing (according to UL 94 V 0) This sound
projector complies with the relevant safety and
installation regulations of EN 60065.
