Description
JBL Commercial CSS-H30 30 Watt Paging Horn with Transformer
This commercial-grade paging horn delivers reliable, high-output speech reinforcement for institutional and outdoor applications. The stainless steel bracket and phenolic diaphragm driver withstand sustained use in demanding environments, while the integrated multi-tap transformer provides flexible impedance matching for complex audio systems.
Audio Performance & Output
With a sensitivity rating of 108 dB (1W, 2.83V @ 1m), this horn achieves maximum SPL of 123 dB continuous average (129 dB peak) at 1 kHz–6 kHz, peaking at 127 dB continuous average (133 dB peak) at 1.4 kHz with 30W input on the 8-ohm setting. The 380 Hz–6 kHz frequency response emphasizes vocal clarity, while the built-in 350 Hz high-pass filter cuts low-end rumble and reduces feedback risk in outdoor installations.
Build & Environmental Durability
Constructed with a phenolic diaphragm driver and stainless steel bracket and hardware, this unit resists corrosion and weathering. The IP-65 rating per IEC529 and salt spray testing per B117 ensure reliable operation in coastal, industrial, and high-moisture environments without degradation.
