It handles 30 W continuous (AES) power, reaches 113 dB maximum SPL and is rated IP66 for permanent outdoor installation. A multi-tap 70\/100V line transformer makes it a direct fit for distributed paging systems in campuses, sports facilities, parking structures and industrial sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC CHA530 horn loudspeaker work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/CHA530.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC CHA530 5 inch 2-way horn loudspeaker\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CHA530 combines a 1\" high-frequency compression driver with a 5\" mid\/low-frequency driver, which gives clearer speech and more extended music reproduction than a traditional single-driver paging horn. Sensitivity is 98 dB at 1W\/1m and the frequency response (±3 dB) covers 110 Hz – 16 kHz. Coverage is 110° horizontal by 60° vertical, so a single unit can throw announcements down a corridor, across a field or along a platform. The built-in multi-tapping transformer works on 100 V and 70 V lines, with taps of 30 W, 15 W, 7.5 W and 3.75 W. The tap is selected by rotating the waterproof AWX5™ connector, so no internal wiring changes are needed on site. The enclosure is UV- and impact-resistant ABS, and the included powder-coated steel bracket allows secure mounting and tilting toward the listening area. AUDAC rates the CHA530 IP66, making it weatherproof for permanent outdoor installation. Drive it from any 70V or 100V paging amplifier, and size the amplifier for the sum of the selected taps plus headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the AUDAC CHA530 horn loudspeaker?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-way horn design\u003c\/strong\u003e — a 1\" compression driver and 5\" woofer deliver better speech clarity and music range than single-driver horns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30 W continuous power\u003c\/strong\u003e — handles 30 W AES, 60 W program and 120 W peak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-tap 70\/100V transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e — taps of 30 W, 15 W, 7.5 W and 3.75 W let installers balance level across a distributed line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAWX5™ rotary tap selection\u003c\/strong\u003e — the waterproof connector selects the power tap by rotation with no tools inside the enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP66 ingress protection\u003c\/strong\u003e — AUDAC rates the enclosure IP66 for permanent outdoor installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV- and impact-resistant ABS\u003c\/strong\u003e — the housing resists sunlight and physical impact in exposed locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded steel bracket\u003c\/strong\u003e — the powder-coated steel bracket supports secure mounting and tilting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — AUDAC lists a 5-year warranty for the CHA530.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the AUDAC CHA530 horn loudspeaker typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nSports facilities and stadiums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nCampuses and outdoor public areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;min-width:300px;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:44%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:56%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eCHA530 (AUDAC part ADC-CHA530)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e2-way horn speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous power (AES)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e30 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProgram power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e60 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeak power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e120 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine transformer tappings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eTap 1: 167 Ω (100 V: not used;
