Quick answers about the LH1-UC30E, and how it compares.
Which horn loudspeaker do I need?
| Model | Build | Power taps | SPL 1 W / max (1 kHz) | Frequency range | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LHE-10CGE | Fibre-reinforced ABS, IP66 | 10 / 5 W | 105 / 114 dB | 410 Hz to 9.7 kHz | Entry |
| LHE-30CGE | Fibre-reinforced ABS, IP66 | 30 / 15 W | 108 / 122 dB | 400 Hz to 11.3 kHz | Entry |
| LBC3481/12 | ABS, IP65 | 10 / 5 / 2.5 W | 103 / 113 dB | 500 Hz to 7 kHz | Entry |
| LHM-10MGE | Aluminium, IP66 | 10 / 5 W | 105 / 114 dB | 400 Hz to 9.7 kHz | Mid |
| LHM-30MGE | Aluminium, IP66 | 30 / 15 W | 109 / 123 dB | 315 Hz to 7.1 kHz | Mid |
| LHM-50MGE | Aluminium, IP66 | 50 / 25 W | 111 / 127 dB | 310 Hz to 6.6 kHz | Mid |
| LBC3492/12 | Aluminium and ABS, IP65 | 20 / 10 / 5 W | 110 / 123 dB | 380 Hz to 5.5 kHz | Mid |
| LBC3493/12 | Aluminium and ABS, IP65 | 30 / 15 / 7.5 W | 111 / 126 dB | 380 Hz to 5 kHz | Mid |
| LBC3484/00 | Aluminium, IP65 | 50 / 25 / 12.5 W | 110 / 127 dB | 350 Hz to 4 kHz | Mid |
| LH1-UC30E | ABS, two-way music horn | 30 / 15 / 7.5 / 3.75 W | 100 dB at 1 W | 210 Hz to 20 kHz | Performance |
| LH3-UC25XS | Polyamide, ex-proof | 25 W to 1.5 W | 106 / 118 dB | 380 Hz to 8 kHz | Hazardous areas |
| LH3-UC25XL | Polyamide, ex-proof | 25 W to 1.5 W | 109 / 122 dB | 380 Hz to 7 kHz | Hazardous areas |
The new LHE and LHM horns are EN54-24 with a smart bracket; so is the LH1-UC30E. Ranges: Entry, Mid, Performance.
What is the difference between Entry, Mid and Performance Level?
- Entry Level: speech and alarm tones in public address and voice alarm; cost-efficient, nothing more, nothing less.
- Mid Level: high-quality speech plus background music, metal fire dome, more installation features. Mid Level horns add long throw and aluminium for demanding sites.
- Performance Level: evacuation and high-quality music in one housing.
It is about the job, not the price: if you only need alarm tones in an emergency, an Entry Level loudspeaker is reliable and perfectly fine. Pick Mid or Performance for background music, easier installation or more robust materials. Horns: Entry, Mid, Performance.
What does EN54-24 mean?
EN 54-24 is the European standard for loudspeakers in voice alarm (evacuation) systems. Certified models show EN54-24 in the banner at the top of their page; the others show Non-EN54 and suit commercial public address and music. For an evacuation system, use EN54-24 loudspeakers throughout.
What do the power taps mean?
Each loudspeaker can be set to one of its power taps, for example 6 / 3 W. Choose a lower tap for small or quiet areas and a higher tap for large or noisy ones. Add up the taps of every loudspeaker on a line: the amplifier must deliver at least that total.
Many 6 W ceiling loudspeakers are tapped down to 3 W, 1.5 W or 0.75 W in the field; in smaller or low-noise areas 3 W is more than enough.
Can I get the loudspeakers in a custom colour?
Yes. Bosch paints loudspeakers in any RAL colour to blend in with the architecture of hotels, malls, airports and similar projects. The paint is durable, suits indoor and outdoor use, keeps the EN54 certification and has a 3-year warranty. Tell us the models, quantities and RAL code.
Who supplies Bosch loudspeakers in Pakistan, and what warranty do I get?
Electronic Security Company (ESCO) is the only authorized distributor of Bosch, Dynacord and Electro-Voice in Pakistan, so every Bosch loudspeaker is genuine and comes with a 3-year warranty. Warranty is carry-in: bring the unit to an ESCO office and after inspection it is repaired or replaced as needed.
We supply, design and install public address and voice alarm systems, with offices and stock in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi and dealers across Pakistan.
