Audio Wire Runs
When a remote power unit is used, the audio pair run
should be limited to 5,000 feet and a maximum of 4
horns when using 24 AWG wire. A V-1094A, Page
Port Pre-Amp/Expander, may be added to increase the
number of horns and/or distance. Twisted pair wire
(standard telephone wire) should be used for
connections.
Power Wire Run
For good quality sound, the distance recommended
between the power supply and horns should be
adhered to.
See the Valcom power run gauge guide for additional
wire gauges and distances.

Attaching Speaker to Base
NOTE: For ease of installation, the base can be
attached to the speaker before or after the base is
mounted.
•
Loosen position adjustment knob
•
Insert the ball of the base into the socket of the
speaker
•
Tighten the position adjustment knob
Mounting
These horns should be mounted 15 to 20 feet above
the floor to allow for best sound distribution. The
units can be mounted to a wall, a beam or an electrical
box.
•
Mount the base to a wall using the two holes
provided. Knockout holes are provided for
punch out should additional holes be desired.
•
A "C" clamp is provided with the horns to allow
mounting to a beam. Place the bolt through the
hole in the bottom of the base to secure the "C"
clamp to the beam (See Figure 1). It is suggested
that the horn be mounted to the underside of the
"I" beam to provide maximum positioning
adjustments.
