Cost Effective Speakers for
Indoor and Outdoor Use
The 25AE, 30AE, 35AE,
and 40AE paging
speakers provide
additional economical
paging coverage to
existing Viking paging
units (PA-2A, PA-15,
PA-30, PA-60, 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
environments the directional design allows
the installer to focus the sound cone down
aisles and toward work areas.
30AE 35AE 40AE 25AE
In office and restaurant environments, it is
best to distribute sound more evenly.
Ceiling mounted 30AE, 35AE, or 40AE
speakers in close proximity offer the best
distribution and are cost effective. The
35AE speakers include a volume control.
