Which 16 alarm ohm speaker is the best?

[Danny May]

Hi...

elmdene are the most reliable we have used them for 8+ years with none faulty.

Other old lags may laugh, but despite the fact we use Siemens DTs, Elmdene flush contacts, insist in copper cable, when it comes to speaker we use...

 

...Lynteck

They are very flat, large enough to cover old sounder holes (with plenty of screw holes) and because they are so small, the actual

speaker element is the sort of 'potted' type you get in a mobile phone, with a thick black cone and much better than the usual mylar ones.

 

Customers like them as they don't look like something from a cold war era Gardiner catalogue and best of all are matte so take paint well...

Tidy looking unit, what's the cost roughly?

[datadiffusion]

Pricing is in public being Lynteck so I see no issue with naming...

Not as cheap as you'd expect tbh, although often half price if you buy ten with a 'tat mag code'.

 

There is an otherwise empty PCB inside; they also do a siren version but I suspect their supplier also does tampered.

(I should have said all my installations are done to Grade 2/2X so lack of tamper not an issue)

That round thing looks messed up lol

Data, I assumed "tat mag" discount !

[datadiffusion]

Yep I just wait until it comes around!

Our G3 'Soapdish' speaker is a perennial favourite, presumably for its sleek lines and unobtrusive aesthetics

Have tried it - and stock it - great in certain situations but not so good at a cover-up!

I liked the MASSIVE gardtec speakers & internal sab's

 

If fact stuff keeps changing & getting worse, think dopey sounders with all the fixing points with little discs that spin around....

 

I love hunting high & low in garden in the pi$$ing rain to find the ones thats pinged off
