Overview
A truck cab or radio desk where a CB or scanner is hard to hear is where the Uniden external speaker goes, plugging into the radio's speaker jack to make voices louder and clearer.
Radio users get louder, clearer audio from a rugged speaker with an angled plug for tight routing. It has no amplifier of its own, so volume depends on the radio driving it.
Who it's for
Trucks, base stations and noisy workplaces suit a dedicated communications speaker. Music listeners need a full-range speaker instead.
Pros and cons
- Louder, clearer radio audio
- Noise blanker reduces static
- Elbow plug for tight spots
- Desk or wall mount
- Not powered on its own
- Voice-range frequency response
- Dimension entries conflict
Performance notes
Sound comes from the radio's own audio output, so the speaker adds clarity and projection rather than power. The narrow frequency range focuses on voice, and the noise blanker trims electrical noise.
