Quick answers about the LCP-20MWE, and how it compares.
Which Mid or Performance Level ceiling loudspeaker do I need?
| Model | Power taps | Driver | Max SPL | Frequency range | Cut-out |

| LCM-12MWE | 12 / 6 W | 6-inch woofer, 1.1-inch tweeter | 103 dB | 65 Hz to 20 kHz | 180 mm |
| LCP-20MWE | 20 / 10 / 5 / 2.5 W | 4-inch woofer, 0.75-inch tweeter | 102 dB | 75 Hz to 20 kHz | 180 mm |

The LCM and LCP models are EN54-24 certified with a fire dome; the LC1 models are EN54-24 in their LC1 housing (fire dome, or mounting ring with back box), bought separately. Mid Level: background music in voice alarm or commercial projects; the 3W suits smaller or quiet areas (88 dB possible). Performance Level: evacuation plus high-quality music.
What is the difference between Entry, Mid and Performance Level?
- Entry Level: speech and alarm tones in public address and voice alarm; cost-efficient, nothing more, nothing less.
- Mid Level: high-quality speech plus background music, metal fire dome, more installation features. Mid Level horns add long throw and aluminium for demanding sites.
- Performance Level: evacuation and high-quality music in one housing.
It is about the job, not the price: if you only need alarm tones in an emergency, an Entry Level loudspeaker is reliable and perfectly fine. Pick Mid or Performance for background music, easier installation or more robust materials. Horns: Entry, Mid, Performance.
What cut-out does the ceiling loudspeaker need?
The new series is standardized on 180 mm: every Entry and Mid Level model and the 4-inch LCP-20MWE. The 6.5-inch LCP-30MWE needs 272 mm.
Replacing older loudspeakers? Their EN54 cut-outs differ: LBC3099 210 mm, LC1-MFD and LC1-MFDS 190 mm, LC1-CMR 200 mm, LBC3086 196 mm, LC4-MFD 178 mm, LC4-CBB 162 mm, LC3-UM06E 170 mm. Ask us for the right model for your existing holes.
Why ceramic connectors, and how many poles?
Ceramic connectors are there for fire safety: many local installation standards require them in voice alarm systems.
- Entry Level: 3-pole, to keep the loudspeaker cost-efficient (ceramic on the EN54-24 models).
- Mid Level ceiling: 5-pole ceramic (+ + − − GND), so the line can loop through.
- Performance Level ceiling: a removable 4-pole Phoenix connector.
- Horns: 3-pole ceramic.
What do the power taps mean?
Each loudspeaker can be set to one of its power taps, for example 6 / 3 W. Choose a lower tap for small or quiet areas and a higher tap for large or noisy ones. Add up the taps of every loudspeaker on a line: the amplifier must deliver at least that total.
Many 6 W ceiling loudspeakers are tapped down to 3 W, 1.5 W or 0.75 W in the field; in smaller or low-noise areas 3 W is more than enough.
Can I get the loudspeakers in a custom colour?
Yes. Bosch paints loudspeakers in any RAL colour to blend in with the architecture of hotels, malls, airports and similar projects. The paint is durable, suits indoor and outdoor use, keeps the EN54 certification and has a 3-year warranty. Tell us the models, quantities and RAL code.
