TOA SPEAKER SYSTEM
SPLASHPROOF SPEAKER SYSTEM
BS-20W
DESCRIPTION
The TOA BS-20W is a splashproof type speaker system
designed especially for railway station platform applications.
It incorporates a 13 cm (5.2") woofer and a piezo driver unit
with constant directivity horn, ensuring a uniform (30°
horizontal by 90° vertical) sound dispersion pattern.
The BS-20W has a splashproof ABS resin enclosure and a
painted finish to protect against ultraviolet rays. In addition,
its speaker unit is waterproofed.
Applications include high humidity/temperature areas, as
well as outdoors or under eaves where the speaker is likely
to be exposed to rain.
FEATURES
1. Sealed type enclosure.
2. One 13 cm (5.2") diameter splashproof cone speaker
3. Constant directivity horn plus splashproof piezo driver
unit (90° x 30°).
4. 20W rated power input and 94dB/w/m output sound
pressure level.
5. 100 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response.
6. Rotaly switch impedance changing (20W, 15W, 10W, 5W
on 100V)
7. Zinc-coated steel plate black-painted punching
net/mounting bracket
8. Stainless steel angle bolts.

APPEARANCE AND DIMENSIONAL DIAGRAM
Changing the Wattage (Impedance)
j Remove the waterproof cap at the side where the
woofer is attached.
k Select the desired impedance (wattage) by rotating the
rotary switch with a flat head screwdriver.
l After setting the impedance, be sure to replace the cap
as it keeps the speaker splashproof.
(Any change in impedance maintains the siren sound
pressure level at 90dB/m or better.)
