FAQ
What does IP55 rating mean?
IP55 provides complete dust-tight protection and protection against high-pressure water jets from any direction, suitable for humid and splash-prone environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Can the QF6WRC be used outdoors?
The IP55 rating suits covered outdoor areas and humid indoor environments. For fully exposed outdoor installations, the MP30 or MPH5300 horn speakers with IP65/IP66 ratings are recommended.
What tapping options are available?
Multiple 100V taps (12, 9, 6, 3, 1 W) and 70V taps (6, 4.5, 3, 1.5, 0.5 W) provide flexible power configuration, plus a direct 8Ω impedance option at 12W.
