FAQ
What is the Unicorn Voice system and how does this speaker integrate?
Unicorn Voice is a unique distributed wall-mounted, panel-based voice alarm and fire telephone solution that complies with EN54-16 standards. The Cabinet Speaker is specifically designed to complement this PAVA range and operates optimally when used with the Unicorn Voice system.
What are the installation benefits of the anti-vibration terminals?
The unique anti-vibration terminals overcome the common problem of open circuit faults caused by vibration. This design allows wiring tests to be completed without additional connections since the speaker remains out of circuit during installation, saving significant installation time.
Do I need equalisation to meet EN54-24 frequency response requirements?
No equalisation is required. The Cabinet Speaker achieves EN54-24 compliant frequency response naturally, covering 125Hz to 11kHz without additional equipment.
What power tapping should I use for my application?
The speaker offers multiple tappings from 0.125W to 4W at 100V line. Selection depends on your coverage requirements and system design. Higher tappings (4W, 2W, 1W) provide greater sound pressure levels for larger areas or higher ambient noise environments.
Can the speaker be used in damp environments?
The Cabinet Speaker has an IP21C rating and can operate in humidity up to 80% non-condensing. However, for wet or harsh environments, additional protection may be required.
What cable entry options are available?
The first-fix termination plate accommodates multiple cable configurations: two M20 entries for standard twin-cable runs, plus one M25 entry for flexible conduit applications.
