Quick answers about the LC3-UC06E, and how it compares.
Do I need the LC3-CBB back box?
For voice alarm, yes: the LC3-UC06E is EN54-24 compliant only with the LC3-CBB back box. It also protects against dust and dripping water (IP21C), keeps vermin out and stops sound travelling through the ceiling.
LC3-UC06E or the new LCE-06CWE / MWE?

What does EN54-24 mean?
EN 54-24 is the European standard for loudspeakers in voice alarm (evacuation) systems. Certified models show EN54-24 in the banner at the top of their page; the others show Non-EN54 and suit commercial public address and music. For an evacuation system, use EN54-24 loudspeakers throughout.
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.
