and is screwdriver adjustable. The V-1440 will cover an area up to 600 square feet
and should be spaced 20 feet apart. Good quality paging and music will be heard up
to 30 feet in front of the speaker. The V-1440 requires -24VDC, 300mA (6 Valcom

coordinated cloth grille. Custom colors are available upon request.
