RCF PL 50EN - 24W 5-inch Passive 2-Way 70V/100V Ceiling Loudspeaker with 160-Degree Coverage and EN54-24 Certification in White Finish

The RCF PL 50EN is a high-performance, passive 2-way ceiling loudspeaker designed for recessed installation in ceilings or panels, making it an excellent choice for both alarm messaging and general sound reinforcement in commercial and industrial applications. This speaker is engineered to deliver exceptional intelligibility and sound quality, with a focus on durability and safety. The PL 50EN is particularly well-suited for fire safety systems, as it is designed to withstand the high temperatures encountered during fires, ensuring reliable performance in critical situations.

Equipped with a 5-inch full-range transducer, the PL 50EN delivers a broad frequency response range from 130 Hz to 15,000 Hz, ensuring clear audio reproduction for voice and music alike. The speaker has a sensitivity of 92 dB, providing ample volume output with a maximum SPL of 100 dB at 1 meter, making it ideal for medium-sized spaces where intelligible sound is required. With a 160° coverage angle, it ensures wide sound distribution, filling spaces evenly without hot spots or gaps in coverage. This wide dispersion makes it perfect for installations in hallways, lobbies, offices, and public spaces where wide-area sound coverage is needed.

For added flexibility, the PL 50EN offers selectable power options (6W, 3W, 1.5W, and 0.75W) at 100V, allowing it to be easily integrated into constant voltage systems. The ceramic terminal blocks provide secure, flameproof connections for both input and output cables, ensuring the speaker can safely handle the rigors of emergency and fire alarm installations. The speaker also includes a thermal fuse, which automatically protects the speaker and the system in case of overheating, adding an extra layer of safety for mission-critical applications.

Designed for durability, the PL 50EN features a flameproof steel back can, providing enhanced protection from environmental factors. The steel grille and frame offer additional strength, while the white RAL 9016 finish allows it to blend seamlessly with most ceiling designs. This speaker is EN54-24 certified, ensuring compliance with the latest fire safety standards for use in fire alarm and emergency systems. It is CE compliant, which guarantees it meets the necessary safety and quality requirements for commercial audio systems.

In terms of installation, the PL 50EN is equipped with a recessed depth of 4.92 inches and a diameter of 7.13 inches, making it easy to mount within standard ceiling cavities. The speaker's lightweight design, weighing just 2.98 lbs, ensures ease of handling and installation. Whether used in alarm systems, background music, or public address setups, the RCF PL 50EN provides reliable, high-quality performance in demanding environments.
