The LS-450/B is a permanent magnet dynamic loudspeaker for speech communication between the interior of a submarine and the bridge or escape hatch. It may also be used as a microphone in two-way conversation. The unit will operate under pressure conditions from atmospheric pressure to high pressure present at submarine operating depths. The unit is protected against normal sea exposure and freezing spray conditions by encapsulating the moving voice coil assembly in silicone rubber.
