06656B VIKING

Engineered for reliable voice evacuation in demanding environments, the 06656B VIKING XT1 is a 3/4" pendant speaker built with integrated water shield protection. This commercial notification device delivers consistent audio output while resisting the moisture accumulation that typically causes diaphragm degradation in unprotected endpoint appliances.

The sealed acoustic housing makes it suitable for high-humidity interiors like laundry chases, boiler rooms, and parking structures, as well as covered exterior soffits where condensation frequently compromises standard speakers. Its pendent configuration drops directly onto ceiling T-bars or rigid conduit using the standardized 3/4" mounting receiver, eliminating the need for custom brackets during retrofits or new builds.

Specification & Integration Highlights

• Water Shield Sealing: Gasketed acoustic chambers block humidity and airborne contaminants, preserving tone and volume consistency over extended service life.
• Direct Mount Interface: The 3/4" threaded opening accepts standard pendant stems and drop wires, aligning with common commercial fire alarm suspension practices.
• Viking Circuit Compatibility: Designed to pair with matching Viking XT notification circuits, enabling straightforward zone expansion and unified system management.

When replacing degraded endpoints or designing fresh voice evacuation layouts, this model removes uncertainty about environmental resilience and physical fitment. Review local NFPA 72 coverage requirements and confirm your control panel’s driver output before placing multiple units within a single notification zone to maintain audibility thresholds across your facility.
