Ahuja SRX 50XT PA Speaker

Ahuja SRX 50XT PA Speaker

The Ahuja SRX 50XT is a compact column loudspeaker for 100V line public address systems, built around two 8 inch full-range dual-cone drivers in a rugged closed-box enclosure. Ahuja rates the system at 50 W maximum input, with a built-in line transformer offering three power taps, so a single amplifier can feed many of these columns across a building and each one can be set to the level its area needs. It is a speech-first design that also handles background music cleanly, aimed at the halls, corridors and assembly spaces where announcements must stay intelligible.

Key features

• 100V line column speaker with built-in transformer
• 50 W maximum input power
• Power taps of 30 W, 20 W and 10 W, selected by rotary switch
• Two 8 inch full-range dual-cone drivers
• 96 dB sensitivity at 1 W / 1 m, 113 dB maximum rated SPL
• Frequency response of 55 Hz to 16,000 Hz
• Sealed enclosure in 12 mm MDF with black shock-resistant paint finish
• Two terminal strips in parallel for wiring in and out

Built for 100V distributed systems

Constant-voltage 100V working suits long cable runs and multiple speakers on one amplifier line, which is why it is the standard approach for schools, places of worship, factories, stations and commercial buildings. The SRX 50XT’s rotary switch selects 30 W, 20 W or 10 W taps, corresponding to line impedances of 333, 500 and 1,000 ohms. A column covering a noisy entrance can run at 30 W while an identical column in a quiet office runs at 10 W, all from the same amplifier. When planning the system, add up the tap settings of every speaker on the line and keep the total within the amplifier’s 100V output rating. This model must be driven from a 100V line output; the 16 ohm low-impedance counterpart in the same family is the SRX 50DX.

Drivers, enclosure and output

Two 8 inch dual-cone drivers with 0.75 inch voice coils share the work in a one-way configuration, a simple and robust arrangement that favours clear speech reproduction across a 55 Hz to 16,000 Hz response. Sensitivity of 96 dB at 1 W / 1 m is high for a cabinet of this size, so modest amplifier power produces useful volume, and maximum rated SPL is 113 dB. The sealed enclosure is built from 12 mm medium density fibre board and finished in black shock-resistant paint, a practical build for equipment that will be handled, mounted and left in service for years. The column format keeps the cabinet narrow at 325 mm wide while standing 605 mm tall and 240 mm deep, and the unit weighs 9.6 kg.

Installation notes

Two terminal strips wired in parallel make daisy-chaining straightforward: the line arrives at one strip and continues to the next speaker from the other, keeping with standard 100V installation practice. Position columns so they aim at the listening area and sit clear of microphones to limit feedback, and set the tap before final fixing while the rotary switch is easy to reach. Use proper speaker cable of a suitable gauge for the run length, keep polarity consistent across every speaker on the line, and switch the amplifier off before changing taps or connections.

For distributed announcement and background music systems that need a compact, efficient and durable column, the SRX 50XT covers the brief with proven 100V practice and honest, clearly stated ratings.
