Just got an interesting one lately: a Simplex 49AV addressable horn/strobe. I love alarms like this since they lure you into a false sense of security by being horns that come in the same enclosures as speakers.

Amazing device! Very jealous.
Yeah. Odd why some manufacturers choose to use the same housing for multiple kinds of signals (including the Genesis: the cover is the same whether it’s a horn/strobe or remote strobe). Sure it may save money when it comes to both design & manufacturing, but still: it’s kinda lazy.
Not me given they can only be used with ES-series addressable panels, which are very proprietary & thus can’t be used by most enthusiasts (not that I really mind that either since I have a panel that’s not proprietary & that works great, plus there also being plenty of others that are the same way as well).
