The J.W. Davis DH Series "folded" horns are designed to provide intelligible voice paging and signaling in high noise environments while according the maximum coverage possible.  In addition to the 70V, 25V and 8 Ohm taps, four additional taps are available to control volume levels in quieter conditions.  For general reference, Table 1 shows the maximum recommended coverage distances and suggested level settings required to achieve sufficient volume to be clearly heard over existing background noise.

Caution:  All "folded or "reentrant" horns are exponential trumpets with drivers that are engineered for voice reproduction.  Attempting to add bass by raising the amplifier bass control may result in overloading and driver diaphragm.
