Frequently asked questions
Can these products be used together?
No. The MTU-25-WH bracket is designed exclusively for the JBL AC25 Ultra Compact Two-Way Loudspeaker and is not compatible with the commercial paging horn. The paging horn includes its own stainless steel mounting bracket.
Which is better for outdoor emergency announcements?
Only the JBL Commercial 30 Watt Paging Horn is suitable for this application. It delivers 123 dB continuous SPL, IP-65 weatherproofing, salt-spray tested durability, and speech-optimized frequency response. The MTU-25-WH is mounting hardware only with no speaker or amplification capabilities.
What's the skill level required for each product?
The paging horn is marked suitable for beginner through professional installers and can function in simple or complex PA systems thanks to its integrated transformer. The MTU-25-WH bracket is also suitable for all skill levels but requires an AC25 speaker to be functional.
Are these products in the same price category?
Both are listed in the budget tier, but they serve entirely different purposes. The paging horn is a complete powered audio solution, while the MTU-25-WH is an accessory component that adds no audio capability on its own.
