Furuno Loudhailers: Precision Communication on the Water

When it comes to onboard safety and crew coordination, few pieces of equipment matter more than a reliable loudhailer. Furuno — a name synonymous with professional-grade marine electronics — brings that same engineering rigor to its loudhailer lineup, producing systems that go far beyond simple voice amplification. Furuno loudhailers are built for mariners who demand dependable, multi-function communication in every kind of operating condition.

The Furuno LH-5000: A Full-Featured Marine PA System

The flagship of Furuno's loudhailer range is the LH-5000, a powerful and versatile system designed for vessels of all sizes. The Furuno LH-5000 is designed to immediately draw attention to your vessel by amplifying your voice, or any of eight internationally acknowledged warning signals, through the horns. This makes it an essential tool not just for communication, but for active collision avoidance and situational awareness in busy or restricted waterways.

Using up to six intercom speakers and two powerful horn speakers with an impressive output power of 30 watts each, the LH-5000 is sure to capture the attention of anyone in your proximity. The LH-5000 allows you to instantly notify nearby vessels of your presence and status regardless of limited visibility conditions, such as thick fog or dark of night, that might otherwise mask your presence.

Standout Features That Set Furuno Apart

What truly differentiates Furuno's loudhailer from simpler alternatives is its depth of functionality. The LH-5000 is engineered not just as a hailer, but as a comprehensive onboard communication hub:

• Listen Back: With the Listen Back feature, the horn speaker works as a microphone and allows two-way communication. This feature is incredibly useful for the pilot to hear voices from the docks, deck, or even other nearby vessels.
• Dedicated Intercom System: The LH-5000 can also be connected to onboard intercom speakers, and because the intercom feature is a completely separate function, you won't have to worry about impressive warning signals being transmitted through the dedicated two-way intercom speakers.
• Customizable Channel Names: Each intercom channel can be renamed, allowing you to customize the channel's name so you know who you are talking to.
• Alarm & Siren Modes: Other features include Siren Mode, which can be connected to the vessel's fire detection systems, and an Alarm Mode, which is very useful when it comes to theft detection.
• Auxiliary Audio Input: By connecting external devices such as a radio or a smartphone, you can switch on the AUX function and share audio through intercoms and horn speakers.
• IP67 Waterproof Construction: The main unit, microphone, and compatible intercom speakers are fully waterproof to IP67 standards, built to endure marine exposure.

Built for the Demands of Real Seamanship

The LH-5000 features dual 30-watt channels (forward and aft) at 8 ohms, providing powerful projection for effective communication over water. The bright LCD display with user-programmable intercom names keeps helm operation intuitive even in demanding conditions. The kit features a flush-mount template, gasket, bracket, and knobs for quick helm installation.
