Valcom V-1048M Talkback Paging Horn Marine 45 Ohm

Product Description

The VALCOM V-1048M is a 45-ohm talkback paging horn designed for marine environments. It functions as both a paging speaker and a talkback pickup, allowing two-way communication over a public address system. The 45-ohm impedance rating suits it for use in distributed PA horn circuits common in commercial and industrial paging installations. Installation is typically handled by licensed audio or low-voltage communications contractors. Its marine-rated construction indicates suitability for environments with exposure to moisture, humidity, and salt air.

The V-1048M is intended for marine paging and intercom applications where environmental durability and reliable voice communication are required. Typical installations include vessel decks, docks, marina facilities, and other outdoor or coastal commercial settings. The talkback function enables two-way communication between a central paging station and remote locations, making it useful in coordination and safety communication scenarios.

Key Features

• 45-ohm impedance rating for distributed PA horn circuits
• Talkback capability enables two-way voice communication
• Marine-rated construction for moisture and corrosion resistance
• Horn speaker design projects audio in demanding acoustic environments
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for marine and commercial distributed PA paging systems requiring 45-ohm talkback horn speakers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage communications or audio systems contractor familiar with NEC Article 640 and applicable marine wiring standards. Disconnect and de-energize the paging system before making any wiring connections. Verify system impedance requirements before connecting this horn to an existing distributed speaker circuit. Mount in a location that allows adequate projection of audio while protecting wiring connections from direct water exposure.
