JBL CSS-H30-BK 30W Paging Horn W Transformer Black

JBL CSS-H30-BK 30W Paging Horn with Transformer – Black

The CSS-H30-BK is a compact, weather-resistant paging horn engineered for consistent vocal clarity and reliable performance in studio monitoring and live recording applications. Its compact footprint and stainless steel U-bracket make it straightforward to mount in control rooms, tracking spaces, and isolation booths without requiring extensive installation infrastructure. The integrated transformer and multi-tap configuration eliminate the need for external equipment, delivering professional results straight out of the box.

Coverage & Audio Performance

This horn produces a 108 dB sensitivity at 1W (peaking at 112 dB at 1.4 kHz), capable of sustaining 123 dB continuous average SPL with 129 dB peak output. The 50° × 70° coverage pattern ensures even sound distribution across recording spaces while the built-in 350 Hz high-pass filter cuts through low-frequency rumble, keeping spoken word and vocal recordings intelligible in tracking sessions.

Power & Integration Flexibility

The UL-registered 30W multi-tap transformer accommodates both 70V and 100V system configurations with selectable taps at 30W, 15W, 7.5W, 3.8W, and 1.9W, plus an 8-ohm direct bypass mode for flexible integration into existing studio console sends and monitoring chains. The 12-inch pigtail with bare wire connection and watertight fitting entrance simplify studio wiring while the IP65-rated ABS enclosure withstands environmental variations in any recording facility.
