Electro-Voice PA430T Indoor/Outdoor Ceiling and Wall Mount Speaker — 30 W RMS

The Electro-Voice PA430T is a rugged, reliable 30-watt paging projector designed for public address and paging in diverse environments. Built to perform in both indoor and outdoor settings, it combines a compact form with robust mounting versatility, enabling ceiling or wall installations that blend with architecture while delivering consistent, intelligible sound. Whether you’re outfitting a school, gym, theater lobby, stadium concourse, or commercial space, the PA430T provides dependable voice clarity and occupancy-aware coverage that helps keep audiences informed and engaged.

• The PA430T offers premium versatility with ceiling or wall mounting options, allowing discreet integration into any room shape or outdoor installation. Its slim profile minimizes visual impact while maximizing coverage, so announcements cut through ambient noise without overpowering the space.
• Designed for constant-directivity paging, the PA430T delivers even, predictable coverage across wide areas. This means clearer voice announcements and superior intelligibility for frontline staff, patrons, and students in bustling environments, with minimal “hot spots” or dead zones.
• Rugged, reliable drivers form the heart of the PA430T. Featuring phenolic diaphragms, a 1.5-inch diameter voice coil, and rim-centered ferrite magnet structures, these components are built for long life and durable performance in demanding conditions, including variable humidity and temperature.
• Indoors or outdoors, the PA430T is engineered to withstand varied environments when installed according to manufacturer guidelines. Its construction supports reliable operation across a broad range of temperatures and settings, making it a practical choice for multi-use facilities and exterior public spaces where weather-resistant mounting is required.
• Easy integration with existing paging systems is a key benefit. The PA430T is designed to work with standard public address configurations, offering straightforward wiring and mounting options that minimize installation time and cost while maintaining high sound quality and coverage consistency.
