Description
Need reliable overhead paging that actually cuts through the noise? The Viking PA-15 delivers 15 watts of clean power – enough to drive up to 15 standard 8-ohm paging horns or ceiling speakers. It connects easily to almost any phone system (analog, PBX, Centrex, or IP via gateway) and adds useful extras like loud ringing for incoming calls, a night bell, and muted background music during pages.
Small, efficient, and packed with smart features, the PA-15 is the go-to upgrade from older 7-watt units like the CPA-7B. Perfect for warehouses, factories, retail stores, offices, and schools where you need clear announcements without shouting.
Our Expert Take: Pair it with Viking 25AE horns for outdoor or noisy areas and 30AE/35AE ceiling speakers for offices. The built-in night bell with four tone choices (warble, gong, chime, or ding-dong) is a real winner for after-hours calls or door alerts. Overall, this is a solid, future-proof choice for small-to-medium paging needs. If you need more coverage later, just add a PA-30 or PA-60 using the 600-ohm output
