Wall Speakers, Speaker-Strobes Genesis G4 Series
The Genesis line of life safety and emergency communications speakers and speaker-strobes combine high performance output with a low profile design to deliver a life safety audio solution that’s as versatile as it is effective ✔️
✅ Protruding no more than one inch the wall, these appliances blend inconspicuously with any decor.
- Optional amber lens tints, ALERT or FIRE markings, and red or white housing colors ensure there is a device for every application, including mass notification and emergency communications.
- Speakers feature selectable wattage taps, while speaker-strobes allow for both wattage and light output levels to be configured in the field. Both settings remain clearly visible — even after final installation, which allows devices to be easily fine-tuned to achieve maximum benefit in exchange for the lowest possible system overhead
- High fidelity models meet the NPFA 520 Hz requirements for newly construced commercial sleeping areas. They also produce crisp, clear voice audio output that is highly intelligible over large areas
- All Genesis speakers include a DC blocking capacitor to allow electrical supervision of the audio distribution circuit. Models for 25 VRMS and 70 VRMS audio circuits are available. With their sealed back construction, these speakers are extra durable and provide outstanding audibility.

– ideal for long runs or using existing wiring
Installation and Mounting
- All models are intended for indoor wall mounted applications only. Speakers and speaker-strobes are flush mounted to a NorthAmerican 4” square electrical box, 21 /8” (54 mm) deep or a European 100 mm square box. Signals may be surface mounted to a Genesis surface-mount box (see ordering information for details).
- Two tabs at the top of the signal unlock the cover to facilitate mounting. The shallow depth of Genesis devices leaves room behind the signal for extra wiring. Once installed with the cover in place, no mounting screws are visible
- Kidde recommends that these speaker-strobes always be installed in accordance with the latest recognized edition of national and local codes. Refer to installation sheet for mounting height information.
