Federal Signal AM15XD2 Audio Master Public Address Hazardous Location Speaker – Gray

When reliable voice communication is required in demanding industrial environments, a public address speaker must deliver clear audio while withstanding exposure to dust, moisture, and other harsh conditions. The Federal Signal AM15XD2 AudioMaster® Public Address Hazardous Location Speaker is designed specifically for industrial public address and paging applications where dependable communication and hazardous-location certification are important.

The AM15XD2 is an 8-ohm, 15-watt re-entrant horn speaker featuring a rugged spun-aluminum cone and projector, a dust- and moisture-resistant die-cast aluminum wiring enclosure, and a gray powder-coated finish. It is designed for wall mounting and includes 1/2-inch conduit openings for convenient audio wiring.

Designed for Hazardous Industrial Environments

The AM15XD2 is engineered for use in specified hazardous locations. Federal Signal lists the speaker as UL and cUL Listed for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; and Class III environments. The enclosure is rated Type 4X and IP66, with the current product documentation also identifying the model as IP69K compliant.

This makes the AM15XD2 suitable for industrial facilities where public address announcements, paging, and emergency communication need to be delivered through equipment designed for demanding environments.

15-Watt Audio Output

The AM15XD2 provides 15 watts of power handling and uses an 8-ohm configuration. Its re-entrant horn design is intended to efficiently project voice announcements across industrial areas.

Federal Signal documentation lists a frequency response of approximately 400–4,000 Hz, with sound levels of 110 dB at 10 feet and 120 dB at 1 meter under the specified measurement conditions.

Re-Entrant Horn Design

The speaker uses a re-entrant horn configuration, a design commonly used for public address systems where voice projection is important.

The AM15XD2's projector provides a 60° sound dispersion pattern, helping direct audio toward the intended coverage area rather than distributing sound equally in every direction.

Rugged Spun-Aluminum Construction

Industrial communication equipment needs to withstand demanding environments. The AM15XD2 features a rugged cone and projector constructed from spun aluminum.

Its external surfaces are finished with a gray powder-coat paint, providing a durable finish suitable for industrial installations. The speaker wiring connections are enclosed inside a dust- and moisture-proof die-cast aluminum housing.

Type 4X, IP66 and IP69K Protection

The AM15XD2 is designed with environmental protection in mind.

Its Type 4X and IP66 enclosure helps protect the speaker assembly against environmental exposure, while Federal Signal also identifies the model as IP69K compliant.

These enclosure characteristics make the speaker well suited for industrial locations where equipment may encounter dust, water, and demanding cleaning conditions.

Hazardous-Location Certifications

Safety certifications are an important consideration when selecting public address equipment for hazardous industrial facilities.

The AM15XD2 is listed for:

• Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D

• Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G

• Class III

The specific hazardous-location classification, installation method, and system configuration should always be evaluated against the requirements of the installation site and applicable codes.

Convenient Wall-Mount Installation

The AM15XD2 is designed for wall mounting. Four screws can be inserted through the metal tabs on the sides of the housing to secure the speaker to a suitable mounting surface.

The housing also incorporates two 1/2-inch conduit openings, providing convenient options for inbound and outbound audio wiring.

Adjustable Sound Direction

The speaker projector can be rotated to help direct sound toward the desired coverage area. Federal Signal documentation specifies a 180° rotation capability using the projector's lock-ring arrangement.

This adjustment can be useful when installing the speaker in industrial spaces where the listening area is not directly in front of the mounting location.

Compatibility with AudioMaster Systems

The AM15XD2 can be integrated with Federal Signal AudioMaster CTS series amplifiers and the AudioRouter™ to create an industrial-grade public address system.

This allows the speaker to serve as part of a larger communication system rather than functioning as an isolated audio device.
