The Banshee Marine Active External VHF Speaker (BAR-VA-1W) is designed for marine environments, providing amplified audio for VHF radio communications.

It is suitable for vessels requiring clear reception of vital communications, particularly in noisy conditions. The unit features an IPX6 ingress protection rating, indicating resistance to strong water jets. Its adaptable design supports three mounting configurations: helm, overhead, or flush mounting, achieved by rotating or removing the included bracket. Constructed with an ABS plastic and reinforced polycarbonate chassis, and a polypropylene cone, this speaker is built for durability in marine applications.
