Description
Looking for a simple, tough speaker that cuts through noise without complicated setups or high power bills? The Bogen SAH5 is a compact 5-watt self-amplified horn that brings reliable voice paging and background music to smaller spaces - indoors or out.
Built with modern digital switching amplifier technology, this horn runs cooler and draws far less current than older analog models. That means you can use longer cable runs, fewer power supplies, and still get dependable performance even in hot environments or with continuous background music playing.
Whether you're paging in a small warehouse bay, a loading dock, a garage, or an outdoor work area, the SAH5 keeps announcements clear and intelligible. Its unique flare shape focuses sound exactly where you need it, so listeners hear every word without distortion or drop-off.
Expert Tip from The Telecom Spot: When mounting outdoors, always position the access cover bump facing downward so water drains away. Use the included electrical box strap for secure installs, and consider the optional BC1 beam clamp for I-beam mounting. Pair it with a quality 24V DC power supply sized for your total current draw (the SAH5 uses only 4 CU / 200 mA typical).
