The Model 32SE loudspeaker is an environmental version of the Pro Model 25 surface mount
loudspeaker. It meets the European requirements for loudspeakers used in fire and evacuation
applications in dry, damp and wet environments, as well as meeting the new UL1480 require-
ments for fire and evacuation / voice warning systems in wet environments.
Three variations of the Model 32SE loudspeaker are available, 70V/32W, 100V/32W and
4 Ohms passive.
The Model 32SE loudspeaker uses one, 1.2 Ohm, 4.5" environmental driver per enclosure.
It also uses a metal grille similar to the Model 25.
On the 70 and 100V variations, the input connection interface is the Model 32 transformer,
internally mounted in the enclosure. The access to the transformer is covered by an aluminum
plate with an installed gasket on the rear of the enclosure to ensure the terminals are
"touchproof" once the loudspeaker is installed and to seal out water.
The packed system consists of two loudspeakers, hardware, brackets, an owner's manual and
packaging. The speaker housing color is arctic white or black.
