- 123 dB(A) at one meter
This is a 12V DC electric horn with two trumpets and a stainless steel exterior. The diaphragm is Type 304 stainless, and the maker rates the output at 123 dB(A) measured at one meter. The two trumpets sound different fundamental frequencies, 390 and 330 Hz, each with a tolerance of 15 Hz. The horn comes with a laminated signal card and stainless mounting screws, and carries a 5 year warranty.
Our take
A rating of 123 dB(A) at one meter, split across two trumpets near 390 and 330 Hz, means a loud two-pitch blast from a single 12V horn. Its stainless steel exterior and Type 304 stainless diaphragm mean the working parts and the housing share one metal.
From our buying guide
A boat of 12 m or more must have a whistle, and one of 20 m or more a bell as well. Under 12 m it need not carry them, but must have some other means of making an efficient sound signal.
Check before you buy:
- You aren't comparing loudness across makers, since they measure it at different distances, or give no distance at all.
- You can mount a fixed horn facing forward and as high as possible, as Kahlenberg says to.
- You have any parts the maker leaves to you, such as a horn button and fuse.
