Features

Product Overview: The Panamax MOD-SPKP is a signal line protection module, designed to work with several Panamax surge protectors and line conditioners. The module lets you protect outdoor speaker, keypad, control and security wires from bringing a surge in from the outside to damage connected equipment.

Add-on Modules: Panamax offers add-on modules that can be daisy-chained to specific AC surge protector base units. Modules can be "stacked" one on top of another to protect additional phone and data lines, computer network lines, satellite and CATV coax lines, and speaker, keypad, control, and security wires. Brackets are included for connecting the module to the base unit.

Panamax Unit Compatibility: The MOD-SPKP works with the following Panamax units capable of accepting add-on signal line modules:

PM8-AV, PM8-EX, PM8T-EX, PM8C-EX, PM8DBS-EX
M-8AV-PRO, M8-AV, M8-EX, M8T-EX, M8C-EX, M8DBS-EX, M4-EX, M4T-EX
M8C-Pro, M8HC-Pro
M8HT-PRO, M8-HT, PM8-HT

Installation: The MOD-SPKP has two rows of 8 screw terminals, allowing you to connect up to 4 pairs of speakers or 8 control, keypad, or security wires. The screw terminals will work with a range of wire sizes, up to 12 AWG. Spade lugs are not required, but may be used. One row connects the lines from the outside equipment, while the other row connects the lines from the inside equipment. Any surges that come from the outside are stopped by the module before reaching the indoor equipment.

Warranty Note: This signal line protection module does not provide a Connected Equipment Protection guarantee as a stand alone item. It must be properly installed with a compatible Panamax AC base unit, and the base unit's Connected Equipment Protection Policy will remain intact.

Can the MOD-SPKR be used on a public address system that's driving loudspeakers with a 70V line matching transformer in each loudspeaker instead of a 4 or 8 Ohm speaker?

bryan Jun 28, 2022

1 answer

That is a great question. Unfortunately we don't have the specifications to verify if it can be used with a 70 volt transformer. We would highly recommend contacting Panamax directly to verify that at 800.472.5555

Is there a recommended housing for the Panamax MOD-SPKP?

judy Sep 12, 2020

1 answer

We have not received any answers from other customers on your question. I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They should be able to help answer your question.

I downloaded the installation brochure but I'm not seeing anything clean cut about this. It says "can be used with Panamax surge suppressors but doesn't say "must", etc. Can I use this outdoor speaker protector with a simple copper rod ground? Can't 100% tell if this is a stand alone or must be used with another device. I already have a 'whole home' surge suppressor that my electrician installed. Thank you.

As long as you properly ground the Panamax MOD-SPKP, then it can be used as stand-alone protection for your outdoor equipment. Panamax recommends that you use one of their compatible surge protectors (which is probably why it's not very clear in the manual) along with the module, but it's not a necessity. I hope that helps.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
