Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Paging Horn for music playback or DJ work?
No. The Paging Horn's 400 Hz–7.5 kHz frequency range and high-pass filter are optimized for speech intelligibility, not music reproduction. It will sound thin and bass-less for any music application.
Can I use the Control 1 Pro for public address or announcements?
The Control 1 Pro is designed for near-field studio monitoring, not speech projection. It lacks the output power, coverage pattern, and transformer integration needed for facility-wide announcements.
What's the main difference in frequency response?
The Control 1 Pro covers 100 Hz–18 kHz with flat response for accurate mixing; the Paging Horn covers 400 Hz–7.5 kHz with a speech-focused midrange peak. The Paging Horn rolls off bass and treble intentionally.
Do either come in multi-packs or pairs?
The Paging Horn is sold as a 6-pack. The Control 1 Pro is sold as individual units; you must purchase two separately if you need a stereo pair for monitoring.
