The Genesis WG4 outdoor rated speaker delivers fire alarm and mass notification audio in wet and harsh environments where standard indoor appliances won't hold up. Rated from -31F to 151F with 0-95% humidity tolerance, it mounts on walls or ceilings in parking garages, loading docks, covered walkways, and exterior corridors without a separate weatherproof enclosure.
Built for the commercial installer
Dual-voltage operation (25 VRMS or 70 VRMS, switch-selectable) and four field-selectable wattage taps ( , , 1, and 2 W) mean one SKU covers a range of NAC circuit designs without stocking multiple models. All wiring connections are room-side, so there's no reaching behind the box during rough-in or trim. Mount to a standard 4" square box for dry environments or the Kidde 74347U surface box for wet locations. UL 1480-listed.
