Kidde | Genesis LED EGCS Ceiling Mount Fire Alarm Speaker, Red, FIRE Marking, 25V/70V Selectable, 520Hz Capable | EGCSRF

The Kidde Genesis LED EGCS ceiling speaker puts high-fidelity voice audio where occupants need it most. With a Speech Transmission Index of 0.81 - well above the threshold for "excellent" intelligibility - this speaker makes sure evacuation messages are understood, not just heard. One model handles both 25VRMS and 70VRMS audio circuits with a field-selectable switch, so you stock one SKU instead of two.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Wattage taps at 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, and 2W let you dial in the right output for each zone without swapping hardware. The 520Hz low frequency tone meets NFPA requirements for newly constructed commercial sleeping areas - hotels, dormitories, assisted living, and healthcare facilities. Mounts to standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes (minimum 1.5" deep) with the included GRSW room side wiring plate, which lets you pre-install and pre-wire before the device ships to site.
