Enhance your vessel’s communication system with our Active External VHF Speaker in sleek black. Specifically engineered for marine and boating environments, this speaker delivers the loudest and clearest amplification of your VHF radio, ensuring you stay connected even in the most challenging conditions.
Unparalleled Sound Clarity
The BAR-VA-1B Active VHF Speaker is equipped with a built-in 10W DSP amplifier that actively filters out ambient noise outside the human vocal range (300Hz to 4.5kHz). This technology ensures that critical communications are always heard with crystal clarity, allowing for safer and more efficient navigation.
Versatile Mounting Options
Designed for flexibility, the BAR-VA-1B offers three adaptable mounting configurations to suit your vessel’s layout:
- Helm Mount: Easily install near the navigation station for optimal audio access.
- Overhead Mount: Position above cabins or other areas to distribute sound evenly throughout the vessel.
- Flush Mount: Achieve a seamless look by rotating the included mounting bracket or removing it altogether for a sleek, integrated installation.
Robust and Durable Construction
Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, the Active External VHF Speaker boasts an IPX6 rating, with ongoing tests aiming for IP67 certification. This ensures superior protection against water splashes, heavy seas, and other environmental factors commonly encountered on the water.
