Description
The Control 14C-VA is an EN54-24 certified full-range ceiling loudspeaker designed for life-safety and high-quality commercial audio applications. It combines a 4-inch high-output woofer with a 19 mm soft-dome liquid-cooled tweeter to deliver clear speech intelligibility and balanced music reproduction. The speaker is housed in a vented, paintable, UV-resistant ABS baffle with an integrated steel backcan for secure installation and consistent acoustic performance. It supports both 8Ω low-impedance operation and 70V/100V distributed audio systems, making it suitable for environments such as airports, hotels, retail spaces, convention centers, educational facilities, and other public buildings requiring certified evacuation and paging systems.
