The Contacta STS-S80-IP is the weatherproof outdoor overhead speaker module that ships inside Contacta's STS-K080-IP outdoor window intercom kit, and it is available as a standalone unit for installers building custom outdoor service-window systems or replacing a failed outdoor speaker in an existing Contacta installation. Outdoor overhead speakers mount above the customer position on the exterior wall or under a canopy, projecting speech down to the customer from a weather-rated enclosure that stays sealed against rain, wind-driven precipitation, and dust ingress. That makes the STS-S80-IP the right choice for drive-through pickup windows, ticket booths at ferry terminals and transit stations, curbside pharmacy and health-clinic counters, outdoor service windows at banks and government facilities, and any customer-side service point where the hardware is exposed to the weather.
The STS-S80-IP carries an IP54 ingress protection rating, meaning the enclosure is protected against dust ingress and water splashing from any direction. In practical terms, that means the speaker can be mounted at an outdoor service window exposed to rain, blowing snow, and dust without needing an additional weather enclosure. Combined with Contacta's matt black finish, the STS-S80-IP is built to spend years outdoors in high-traffic public installations where a standard indoor overhead speaker would degrade in a season.
Audio-wise, the STS-S80-IP steps well above Contacta's indoor overhead speakers. It delivers 30 watts RMS into an 8-ohm impedance (six times the output of the indoor STS-S23), with 88 dB SPL at 1 watt at 1 meter and a wide 120 Hz to 20,000 Hz frequency response. The high output power and extended frequency range are specifically designed to cut through outdoor noise, including vehicle traffic at drive-through windows, wind at ferry terminals, and ambient activity at outdoor transit platforms, so customers can clearly understand the staff member on the other side of the glass or barrier.
The STS-S80-IP is tuned to pair with the Contacta STS-A31H window intercom amplifier and the PS-55 power supply, the same amplifier and power supply used across most of Contacta's window intercom family. For a complete outdoor install, you will also need a weather-rated microphone such as the STS-M15-300-IP IP54 stem microphone (shipped in the STS-K080-IP kit), the amplifier, the power supply, and an extension cable long enough to route from the outdoor speaker and microphone back to the indoor amplifier (the STS-K080-IP ships with a 16.4-foot extension cable for exactly this purpose).
The STS-S80-IP ships inside the Contacta STS-K080-IP IP54 outdoor window intercom kit. If you are running that kit and the outdoor speaker has failed, this is the correct replacement.
If you don't need an outdoor weather rating, the indoor Contacta STS-S23 overhead speaker is the direct indoor equivalent at a lower power rating (5W RMS at 4 ohms) and smaller physical footprint, tuned for bank teller windows, post office counters, and other indoor service points where weather is not a factor.
If you're not sure whether the STS-S80-IP is the right replacement for your installation, please call us at 800-207-2259.
