Product SKU: 3808
Product Overview
The DAS S3808 Mini Plastic Horn Speaker 10W 8 Ohm is a compact passive horn speaker designed for compatible alarm, siren driver and security warning applications. It uses an 8Ω coil impedance with ±15% tolerance and supports up to 15W maximum input power, making it suitable for systems that require a passive horn speaker rather than a self-contained siren. The S3808 operates across a 400–7000Hz input frequency range and comes in a white plastic housing with compact dimensions of Ø90(D) x 105(L) x 98(H)mm. Its small horn format makes it a practical option for compatible alarm systems, siren boxes, security panels and replacement horn speaker installations where a compact passive drive speaker is required.
Key Capabilities
Compact Horn Speaker
The S3808 provides a compact horn speaker format for compatible alarm and warning systems requiring directional sound output.
Passive Drive Design
This model is a passive drive horn speaker and must be connected to a compatible siren driver or alarm output designed to drive an 8Ω speaker.
8Ω Coil Impedance
The speaker is rated at 8Ω coil impedance with ±15% tolerance, making output compatibility an important installer check.
Up to 15W Maximum Input
The S3808 supports up to 15W maximum input power, suitable for compatible siren driver circuits within the rated load.
400–7000Hz Frequency Range
The listed input frequency range supports typical alarm and warning tones generated by compatible driver equipment.
White Plastic Housing
The white plastic body provides a lightweight horn speaker option for compatible security and alarm accessory installations.
Best For
- Alarm Siren Outputs: Suitable for compatible systems that require a passive 8Ω horn speaker connected to a siren driver.
- Siren Box Repairs: Useful when replacing a compatible compact horn speaker inside a siren box or alarm accessory assembly.
- Security Warning Systems: Practical for warning applications where a passive horn speaker is required rather than an active self-driven siren.
- Compact Installations: Suitable where the Ø90 x 105 x 98mm body size fits the available mounting space.
- Installer Stock: A useful spare horn speaker for technicians servicing compatible alarm and siren installations.
Why Choose the S3808
Choose the DAS S3808 when the installation requires a compact passive horn speaker with 8Ω impedance and up to 15W maximum input power. Its mini plastic horn body is suitable for compatible alarm and siren driver applications where a separate speaker is needed to reproduce the alarm tone generated by the connected system. Compared with an active siren or piezo screamer, the S3808 does not generate its own tone and must be driven by compatible equipment. This model, supplied by Security Wholesalers, is a practical choice for installers replacing or adding a compact passive horn speaker in compatible security warning systems.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm that the connected siren driver or alarm output is designed for an 8Ω passive horn speaker. This model is not a self-contained powered siren and requires a compatible driver signal.
Buyer Tip: Check the available mounting space before ordering. The S3808 measures Ø90(D) x 105(L) x 98(H)mm, so enclosure depth and cable routing should be confirmed during installation planning.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a compact white plastic passive horn speaker with 8Ω impedance and up to 15W maximum input power.
- Choose an active siren if: The installation needs a device that generates its own alarm tone from a power input rather than relying on a siren driver.
- Choose a piezo screamer if: The site needs an internal electronic screamer rather than a passive horn speaker.
- Choose a larger horn speaker if: The installation requires a larger enclosure, different mounting format or higher output rating.
- Check before installation: Confirm driver compatibility, impedance, power rating, enclosure size, mounting method and cable route.
FAQs
- What is the DAS S3808 used for?
The DAS S3808 is used as a compact passive horn speaker for compatible alarm, siren driver and security warning systems. It is suitable for applications where the connected equipment generates the alarm tone and the horn speaker reproduces that sound output. - Is the S3808 a self-contained siren?
No. The S3808 is a passive drive horn speaker, not a self-contained active siren. It must be connected to a compatible siren driver or alarm output designed to drive an 8Ω speaker within the listed power rating. - What impedance is the S3808?
The S3808 has a listed coil impedance of 8Ω with ±15% tolerance. The installer should confirm that the connected alarm panel, siren driver or output board is suitable for an 8Ω passive horn speaker before installation. - What is the input power rating?
The S3808 is listed with input power up to 15W maximum. The product title describes it as a 10W class horn speaker, so the connected driver should be matched carefully to avoid exceeding the supported power rating. - What frequency range does it support?
The S3808 has a listed input frequency range of 400–7000Hz. This range suits typical alarm and warning tones from compatible siren driver circuits, but the final sound output depends on the connected driver and system configuration. - What are the dimensions of the S3808?
The DAS S3808 measures Ø90(D) x 105(L) x 98(H)mm. Installers should confirm the available mounting space, enclosure depth, cable entry and mounting method before using it as a replacement horn speaker. - Can it replace any alarm speaker?
No. It should only replace a speaker where the impedance, power rating, physical size and driver type are compatible. A qualified installer should check the original speaker specifications and the alarm system output before replacement. - What should I check before buying the S3808?
Before buying the S3808, confirm that your system needs a passive 8Ω horn speaker, the driver output is suitable, the power rating is appropriate and the compact housing size fits the installation. This model is available through Security Wholesalers for compatible alarm and warning system applications.
