Bosch's New Range of Modular Ceiling Loudspeakers Significantly Speeds up Installation
Ceiling speaker range with one grille size gives attractive and uniform look
o Easy installation with one grille size and one set of accessories
o Smart packaging enables installer to unpack the installation materials in the same order as installation
o Provides a uniform look to ceilings
o Significant installation time reduction for fire resistant cabling.
Bosch Security Systems is introducing an EVAC-compliant, modular ceiling- loudspeaker range with a single grille size and single set of speaker accessories to simplify ordering, storage and installation.
The range offers a choice of four drivers distinguished by input power, opening angle and sound reproduction. It includes two 6 W single-cone drivers offering a choice of normal or wide opening angle, and two coaxial driver loudspeaker with maximum power ratings of 12 W and 24 W.
The company is also introducing a new "smart" packaging concept with the accessories and speaker units packed separately. This enables all necessary parts to be unpacked in the order of installation.
The new range makes the installer's job easier than ever, with just one size of hole to cut in the ceiling and one set of accessories. Depending upon requirements, the choice of accessories includes an easy to fit metal mounting bracket or the convenient plastic mounting ring in combination with a rigid plastic back box for protecting the rear of the speaker, a metal fire dome for protecting the integrity of a fire-resistant ceiling, and a plastic surface-mounting box, for securing the loudspeakers to walls or hard ceilings.
Moreover, installation time is significantly reduced and simplified when using heavy fire-resistant cabling (which is stiff and difficult to manipulate). A new ceramic connector (patent pending) is provided into which the cabling can first be connected, after which the connector and fire dome are simply plugged together. The speaker is then inserted into the fire dome, connected by normal (heat-resistant) wiring.
To provide an easy indication of whether the audio signal is reaching the loudspeaker, the speakers also include provision for mounting an optional line supervision board for line-integrity monitoring or a speaker-supervision board for monitoring correct loudspeaker operation. And to make system maintenance even easier, Bosch provides an optional pilot-tone indicator board with LED status indicator visible in the rim of the speaker grille. The functioning of the loudspeaker can just be visually checked by observing if the LED on the loudspeaker is flashing.
