Need loud, clear paging in a warehouse, loading dock, parking lot, or outdoor facility? The Viking 40AE is a rugged 8-ohm paging horn speaker that handles up to 40 watts and connects directly to any Viking paging amplifier with an 8-ohm output — or to 25V/70V paging systems via a step-down transformer. The directional horn design delivers intelligible speech in wide-open or reverberant spaces where ceiling speakers would be lost. Weather-resistant housing and adjustable mounting hardware make outdoor and industrial installations straightforward. Our Expert Take: For loud, outdoor, or high-noise environments the 40AE is the right choice over ceiling speakers. Pair with a Viking PA-30 or PA-60 paging amplifier for a complete system. For lighter-duty applications, the 25AE or 30AE may be sufficient.
