Frequently asked questions
Can the TV Spigot T be used for commercial paging or announcements?
No. The Spigot T is a passive desktop speaker with modest output designed for personal TV listening in small rooms. The paging horn delivers 105+ dB with commercial-grade transformer integration, high-pass filtering, and focused projection specifically engineered for speech clarity in large venues and distributed audio systems.
What does the transformer in the paging horn do?
The transformer enables integration into 70V or 100V line-based distributed audio systems common in commercial facilities, retail chains, and transportation hubs. Multiple tap settings (15W, 7.5W, 3.8W, etc.) allow impedance matching and level control across multiple zones. The Spigot T has no transformer and connects directly to consumer audio devices.
Which is better for music listening?
Neither is ideal for music. The paging horn has a 350 Hz high-pass filter and 400 Hz–7.5 kHz range optimized strictly for speech intelligibility. The Spigot T offers full-range response but modest output and midrange focus tuned for dialogue, not critical music reproduction.
How many zones can the paging horn cover?
The 6-pack quantity allows multi-zone deployment across facilities. Each horn's 70° × 90° coverage pattern and 105–111 dB output are designed for announcement systems spanning large areas like airports, retail stores, and industrial facilities, versus the Spigot T's single-room, personal-use scope.
