Potter SPHH Series Powertone High Output Speaker Owner's manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the datasheet for the Potter SPHH Series SPHH-DVSMR speaker. This speaker is designed for hazardous locations with high ambient noise, offering multiple power taps and high decibel output. It's also suitable for indoor and outdoor use, with a NEMA 3 rating. Ask me anything about this device and I will try to answer based on the document.
  • What voltage levels can this speaker operate on?
    What are the available power tap settings?
    Is this speaker suitable for outdoor use?
    What is the frequency range of the speaker?
