Kidde | Genesis G4 LED High Fidelity Wall Mount Speaker-Strobe, White, ALERT Marking, Multi-Candela Amber Lens, 25V/70V Mass Notification | G4HFWA-S2VMA

The Kidde Genesis G4 High Fidelity wall speaker-strobe delivers clear, intelligible voice audio for mass notification systems in commercial facilities. With a Speech Transmission Index (STI) of .81 - well above the .76 threshold for "excellent" - this appliance ensures occupants hear and understand emergency messages, not just alarms. Dual-voltage 25V/70V operation and field-selectable wattage taps (1/4W to 2W) let you dial in the right output for the space without swapping hardware.

Built for the commercial installer

The G4 mounts to standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes with no special brackets. Pre-install and pre-wire using the GRSW room side wiring plate, verify continuity with the included diagnostics check bar, then snap the device into place. Undercover diagnostic test points give you circuit access without pulling the appliance off the wall. LED strobe technology draws significantly less current than legacy Xenon units, allowing longer wire runs and fewer booster power supplies per NAC circuit. Genesis LED strobes can share a circuit and field of view with existing Xenon strobes - no rip-and-replace required for retrofits.

Key features

• High fidelity .81 STI audio: exceeds the "excellent" threshold for speech intelligibility in high-ambient-noise environments
• Dual-voltage 25V/70V: field-selectable switch handles both voltage systems in a single SKU
• 520Hz low frequency capable: meets NFPA requirements for sleeping areas in hotels, dormitories, and residential occupancies
• LED strobe, ultra-low current: 28 mA draw allows more devices per circuit and longer runs than Xenon
• Quick-swap ALERT marking: replaceable cover skins let you change or remove markings without replacing the device
• Backwards compatible: mix with legacy Xenon Genesis strobes on the same NAC circuit and field of view
