Description
The Adastra SC20V is a slimline column speaker made for indoor use, particularly where you want the audio present but the hardware kept discreet. The body is extruded aluminium with a white protective finish, fitted with a white metal grille and white plastic end caps, so it blends easily into most wall colours and interiors. It runs on a 100V line system, which makes it a practical choice for background music and paging across larger spaces like halls, foyers and retail areas.
Rated at 20W rms, the speaker carries a 100V line transformer with an integral rotary switch for tapping selection. That lets you set the power tap directly on the unit, so you can balance volume across a run of speakers on the same line without returning to the amplifier. The internal drivers give crisp, clear sound reproduction with a frequency response of 250Hz to 16kHz and a dispersion of 110 degrees, which keeps speech and music intelligible across a wide listening area.
Each speaker is supplied with mounting brackets, so you can fix it to a wall and adjust the angle to suit the room. The column format spreads sound over a broad horizontal area while keeping vertical spill down, which helps in rooms with hard surfaces. If you are building a 100V line setup, note that terms vary between regions: a 100V line system is sometimes called a constant voltage or high impedance system in US installations. The SC20V works within either description and is straightforward to wire in series with other 100V line speakers.

Frequently Asked
What power is the SC20V rated at?
It is rated at 20W rms and runs on a 100V line system, with an integral rotary switch for selecting the power tap.
Can I adjust the volume on individual speakers?
Yes. The integral rotary switch lets you set the power tapping on each unit, so you can balance levels across a run of speakers on the same line.
What is the frequency response?
The frequency response is 250Hz to 16kHz, with a dispersion of 110 degrees for wide, even coverage.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No. The SC20V is designed for indoor applications. Its white aluminium body and metal grille suit halls, foyers and retail spaces.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Each speaker is supplied with mounting brackets so you can fix and angle it on a wall.
What does 100V line mean?
It is a distributed audio system that lets you run many speakers on one line. It is also known as constant voltage or high impedance in some regions.
