JBL Professional CSS-H30 - 30W IP65 PA Horn/Trumpet with 70/100V Transformer (50° x 70° Coverage)

The JBL Professional CSS-H30 is a Commercial Solutions Series public address horn designed for crystal-clear long-distance voice delivery in paging and security systems. Its high sensitivity (108 dB) and 50° (H) × 70° (V) pattern focus energy to project messages clearly in noisy environments. It includes a multi-tap transformer for 70/100 V lines (with 8 Ω bypass ) and an internal 350 Hz high-pass filter that protects against out-of-band content. Constructed from ABS with stainless steel hardware and bracket , it has an IP65 protection rating for indoor/outdoor use and a RAL9016 (traffic white) finish. Connection is made via a 300 mm cable with a watertight cable gland for secure installation.

Product benefits

• Distance Intelligibility : Focused pattern and high SPL for clear announcements in noisy or crowded areas.
• Distributed line efficiency : high sensitivity → more power with fewer watts; multiple taps for zone balancing.
• Outdoor reliability : IP65, stainless steel hardware and phenolic diaphragm for outdoor durability.
• Safe and quick installation : U-bracket included, waterproof cable and 8 Ω option without transformer.

Use cases

• Warehouses, factories, logistics centers and parking lots.
• Schools, sports centers and recreational facilities.
• Stations, public areas, shopping centers and emergency signage.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use it on 8 ohms? Yes. Select the 8 ohm bypass when not using a distributed system.
• Is it rainproof? Yes, its IP65 rating allows for outdoor use in rain and dust (not immersion).
• Does it include a bracket? Yes, it includes a stainless steel U-bracket with three 10.4 mm holes.
• Does it need an external filter? No; it includes a 350 Hz HPF to protect the transducer.
