Valcom V-1048C Talkback Paging Horn 45 Ohm

Product Description

The VALCOM V-1048C is a 45-ohm talkback paging horn designed for public address and intercom distribution systems. It functions as both a speaker and a microphone pickup point, allowing two-way voice communication over a paging network. The 45-ohm impedance rating matches it to standard distributed paging amplifiers. This horn is sold as a single unit and is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, commercial audio contractors, or facilities maintenance professionals in applications requiring zoned voice paging.

The V-1048C suits commercial and institutional paging installations where talkback capability is needed at the speaker location. Typical install scenarios include warehouses, manufacturing floors, schools, offices, and other facilities running a central paging amplifier with multiple horn zones. The talkback function enables a remote station to respond to the paging source without a separate microphone run, simplifying wiring in multi-zone layouts.

Key Features

• 45-ohm impedance matches standard distributed paging amplifier outputs
• Talkback capability supports two-way communication at the horn location
• Single-unit packaging suitable for zone-by-zone deployment
• Designed for public address horn paging applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for distributed PA horn paging systems requiring 45-ohm talkback speakers.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or commercial audio technician. De-energize the paging amplifier before wiring the horn to avoid signal line surges. Follow local codes and the amplifier manufacturer wiring guidelines for impedance matching across all zones. Verify total zone impedance load before commissioning the system.
