Horn Speaker Systems

A familiar shape seen outdoors at football grounds, athletics events, school playing fields and health clubs, horn speaker systems provide the durability of an all weather speaker design, coupled with the classic long throw output of their loudhailer or megaphone shaped driver unit.

This tried and tested design of horn speaker systems is especially effective outdoors for crowd announcements, sports commentary, or for playing music.

The obvious lack of walls or ceiling in particular can be very problematic for standard pa style wall speakers, requiring a large amount of speaker placements and high power amplification just for them to be heard.

Use of a dedicated outdoor horn speaker system allows for a permanent all weather sound installation that can operate in a single or multi-zone configuration depending on the amplifier specified.

They offer a perfect solution for gardens, grounds and open space areas in both public and private locations.

Tannoy Speaker System

Called a tannoy speaker after the original manufacturer of the design, the tannoy speaker system or horn speaker system as it's more often called now is a never bettered option for low cost and high performance.

A professional tannoy speaker system is ideal for all reaching sound coverage in noisy factories, warehouses, loading bays and outdoor areas such as car parks, helping to keep a unity across a business premises no matter its size.

The IP all weather rating of horns and tannoy speakers means placement is unrestricted, with choices of standard pa horn speakers for announcement only systems, or a 2-way tannoy horn which is designed for music playback too.

Coupled to a suitable 100V line amplifier system, often the entire tannoy speaker system can be run from that single amp unit, which is why the 100V system is of such benefit for larger installations, as it allows for daisy-chain wiring.

With our tannoy speaker system packages including features such as direct MP3 playback and Bluetooth audio streaming, along with microphone inputs with muting and talkover, they offer the commercial or private user a reliable and great sounding installed audio option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a horn speaker system?

A horn speaker system, also known as a tannoy speaker system, is designed to produce a wide sound coverage. The included horn speakers have a distinctive shape, with a megaphone shaped driver that disperses sound effectively, even in noisy environments. It is therefore ideal for a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, including; schools, factories, warehouses, football grounds, athletics events, carparks, and festivals.

The systems can also be used for different purposes, such as music playback, announcements, and sports commentary, and they often include useful features such as MP3 playback. We offer an extensive selection of horn speaker systems in various sizes that include everything needed for set-up.

How do you set up a horn speaker system?

A horn speaker system is straightforward to set up, and we offer free telephone support if needed. Most systems are designed for 100V line installation, which enables multiple speakers to be run from a single amplifier. The first step is usually to mount the speakers in the desired location. Often the speakers will be mounted on walls or an alternative flat surface, and most systems will include mounting brackets. Some packages also include portable speaker stands if desired. The speakers will then need to be wired to the included amplifier, which will be connected to a mains power supply. Finally, you can then connect your additional equipment such as microphones to the amplifier, and the system will be ready for use.

What is the best horn speaker system?

Consider your requirements and the size of your space to find the best horn speaker system for you. For instance, if you want to install the speakers in a small space, a single zone amplifier and a couple of speakers would likely be adequate. Whereas a large warehouse would require a larger number of speakers and a multi-zone amplifier. Also consider the number of microphone inputs that you will need, and any additional useful features that you would like, such as Bluetooth technology and an in-built MP3 player.

Some systems also include extras, such as microphones and portable speaker stands. If you would like advice on the best system for your needs, please get in touch with our helpful team.

What equipment should be included in a horn speaker system?

There are several important pieces of equipment that should be contained within your horn speaker system. The first key component is the horn speakers themselves. The number that you need will depend on the size of your space, and we offer a selection of packages to suit all locations. Mounting brackets will usually be included with the speakers for straightforward fitting. A mixer amplifier is also important, as this powers the speakers and provides multiple inputs and ways to play audio. The functions included with each amplifier vary considerably, so consider your requirements.

For instance the number of microphone inputs differ, and some amplifiers have a multi-zone system, while others have a single zone design. The cables needed for connection are also included with our systems, so that you have everything needed for set-up. Some systems will also feature useful extras, such as microphones and speaker stands.

How much does a horn speaker system cost?

The cost of a horn speaker system varies significantly, depending on the size of the system. For instance, a single zone system featuring two horn speakers would cost less than a multi-zone system with eight horn speakers. Therefore, it is important for you to consider your requirements, and the size of your setting when determining how much to spend on a system. Please contact our expert Audio Installations team who would be happy to help you find the best system for your needs at a competitive price.

What types of horn speaker systems are available?

There are many different horn speaker systems available, to suit different sized spaces and individual requirements. Firstly, there are single-zone and multi-zone systems. A single zone system is ideal for small and medium sized spaces, whereas a multi-zone system is perfect for larger installations, as it enables you to select each zone independently. Also, the number of included horn speakers varies considerably, with our systems starting at two speakers and going up to 24, to suit different sized locations.

In addition, the available features differ between systems. For instance, some mixer amplifiers include useful functions such as; MP3 player with USB and SD card slots, Bluetooth technology, muting and talkover functions. The number of microphone inputs also varies, and some systems include extras, such as microphones and speaker stands.

What are horn speakers good for?

Horn speakers are good for a variety of uses, due to their efficient design which disperses sound widely and effectively. They are therefore popular in indoor and outdoor locations, and they work well in noisy environments. They typically have a weatherproof rating, making them suitable for permanent outdoor installation. Horn speakers are good for public address purposes, and also music playback, often including useful features such as an in-built MP3 player. They are popularly used in many settings, including; schools, warehouses, shopping centres, athletics and football grounds.

Can horn speaker systems be used outdoors?

Yes, it is possible to use a horn speaker system outdoors, and most horn speakers feature an all weather design. In fact, these systems are particularly effective outdoors because they disperse sound so effectively with a long throw output. We therefore offer a selection of dedicated outdoor horn speaker systems that can be permanently installed outdoors, for instance at a football or athletics ground. However, please note that the mixer amplifier included with the system is not weather resistant and this should be placed indoors.

How many horn speakers do I need?

The number of horn speakers that you will need depends largely on the size of your setting. For example, a small space would probably only require a pair of horn speakers and a single zone system. Whereas, a large space such as a football ground, would require multiple speakers spaced out throughout.
