Federal Signal's Model 50GC SelecTone® Speaker Amplifier is designed to produce crisp, clear tones, digital voice messages and live public address.
In the Model 50GC a short, folded re-entrant horn is interposed between the diaphragm and surrounding air space. This design provides optimal dB output and very good frequency response.
The 50GC is UL Listed. It has been designed, tested and approved for use in Type 3R applications. When installed with the Model WB Weatherproof Backbox, the 50GC is suitable for use outdoors.
Internal gain control allows output adjustment from 64dBa to a maximum of 88dBa at 10 feet.
SelecTone Speaker Amplifiers are used individually or as part of a plant-wide emergency notification system. The Model UTM Universal Tone Module, with 32 tones, or the TM33 Custom Tone Module is plugged into a single SelecTone Speaker Amplifier for stand-alone use or into a SelecTone Command Unit for plant-wide signaling.
For plant-wide signaling, a Connector Kit is installed into each SelecTone Speaker Amplifier and wired to a central controller. SelecTone Command Units and CommCenter® Digital Message Centers broadcast tones, voice messages, melodies and live public address to an unlimited number of SelecTone Speaker Amplifiers.
The compact size and attractive appearance of the Model 50GC make it ideal for use in offices, hallways, reception, and plant areas where ambient noise levels are not exceedingly high, and even sound dispersal is desired. Emergency signaling and paging are common applications.
