Decorative Paging Speakers

MODEL LP1605/MODEL LP160M

Decorative Paging Speakers
Size of speaker cabinet is approximatelly 8" w x 6" h x 5 ¼" deep


Lencore's decorative paging speakers are available when a surface-mounted speaker is desired or necessary due to site configuration or condition.

The decorative paging speakers are typically specified in areas where the ambient background noise is already greater than 50 dB. These areas might include cafeteria areas where no ceiling tile is present.

These decorative paging speakers have a dispersion of 110 degrees and each speaker can handle areas of 1600 square feet or less.

Paging Horns are also available for assembly, warehouse or factory areas where greater amplification of sound is needed. Please ask your Lencore representative for more information on this option.

Enclosure:

  • Cabinet is white ABS plastic
  • Height: 6"
  • Width: 8"
  • Depth: 5 ¼"

Loudspeaker:

  • 4-inch-wide dispersion
  • Impedance: 16 Ohms
  • Magnet: 5.4 ounce ferrite, metal mesh grill with bracket and screw

General Specifications:

  • Power Requirement: 16V/ 18V AC, 60 HZ up to 200 mA (without page 50 mA)
  • Power Consumption: 3.2 Watts (maximum)

Volume Control

  • Continuous volume control at speaker with off to maximum adjustment

Wire Requirement

  • 18 gauge, plenum rated, non-shielded 6 conductor


The sound masking/ paging system must provide the following:

  • All masking/paging units must be UL Listed.
  • Each self-contained masking (sound generating unit) must have individual volume and spectrum shaping controls and a paging/music volume control which are active and readily accessible for user adjustment to suit zones of 225 square feet or more.
  • Each sound generating unit contains an independent sound generator to eliminate phasing effects.
  • In open areas and larger enclosed spaces, the overall sound level produced should have spatial uniformity of no more than +/ - ½ dBA between any two sound generating units.
  • The sound generating units must have a step attenuator, a rotating volume control for precise sound level adjustment, a rotating spectrum shaping control, and a rotating volume control for paging/music.
  • The units shall be able to produce up to 86 dBA to meet the requirements for all ceiling treatments.
  • The sound generating units must have adjustable sound spectrum shaping controls in order to meet the varying spectral requirements of drywall ceilings, various types of ceiling tile, air return grills and openings around lighting fixtures, etc.
  • The sound generating units must be random sequence sound generators and not produce a noticeable repetitive pattern or sequence.
  • Sound masking must have E-sound® technology.
  • The spectrum shaping ability shall be variable within the accepted background sound masking range.
  • Units installed over drywall ceilings should be wired for spectrum control adjustment and remote sound level.
  • Speaker housings/ enclosures must be damped to avoid undesirable resonance, etc.
  • The system must have the capability to provide paging simultaneously, on an all-call or individually zoned basis.
  • The paging volume control must be totally independent of the masking volume and smoothly override the masking. Paging power usage should be .0125 watts per 450 square feet.
  • Paging system must have IndePage™ technology.
  • All components and assemblies are to be production models of proven performance with continuity of the manufacturer throughout the system for individual component items.
  • System shall be designed so that individual speaker or component failure will have no impact on the balance of the system.
  • Design of system must be powered by low voltage of 16/18 volts. Power usage should not exceed 100 watts per 18,000 square feet for masking and 200 watts for masking and paging.
  • System shall be warranted to be free from defects in materials, workmanship, and performance for a minimum of 10 years from date of installation.
  • System must have a Privacy Reporting Feature and use SPEC™ software.
  • Sound masking system must meet ASTM E-1130 standards for speech privacy and sound uniformity.
  • System must use at least 50% recycled content.
  • System must be manufactured in the USA.


 

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THIS SERIES

For use when surface-mounted speakers are necessary for paging (only) up to 1,600 square feet or when greater amplification of page is necessary. Primarily used in areas where the site condition or configuration requires a greater dispersion than the standard masking/page speaker permits or where the product will be only used for page and primarily used in a warehouse or factory setting.
