U20537 Used Palstar SP30H Ultimate Communications Speaker with Handmade Birch Cabinet

This pre-owned Palstar SP30H extended-range communications speaker is in near-mint condition, exhibiting only a few very minor handling nicks on its finely finished handmade wooden enclosure. The rich cherry-stained birch cabinet retains a deep luster with crisp corner joints and a clean, intact top and side profile. The black front baffle face, molded acoustic grille, bass reflex port slots, and Palstar badge are in pristine shape. On the rear panel, the spring-loaded wire terminals, RCA input jacks, and factory labeling are immaculate. It includes an audio connection patch cable.

The Palstar SP30H is an audiophile-grade external communications speaker custom-engineered to dramatically improve receive audio fidelity and clarity across amateur radio transceivers, shortwave receivers, and communications gear. Handcrafted in the USA, it is constructed from solid birch wood with an acoustic suspension bass-reflex enclosure that eliminates the hollow, tinny resonances typical of plastic and stamped metal radio speakers. Equipped with a heavy-magnet, 5-inch extended-range speaker driver, the SP30H delivers 20 Watts of clean audio with a tailored frequency response spanning 50 Hz to 8 kHz. This custom frequency curve enhances human voice articulation on SSB and AM while smoothing out high-pitched background hiss and fatigue-inducing static, making it a centerpiece audio upgrade for any ham shack.

Condition

  • Cosmetic Condition: Near-mint pre-owned condition. The handcrafted birch cabinet shows only a few faint handling marks and minor edge nicks, with the wood grain finish remaining clean, glossy, and beautifully preserved.

  • Front Baffle & Grille: Front matte faceplate, radial acoustic grille cutouts, lower tuned port slots, and mounting hardware are undamaged and spotless.

  • Rear Terminals & Labels: Spring-loaded push-terminals and dual RCA input phono jacks are clean, tight, and corrosion-free. The original factory serial and specification stickers remain firmly affixed and fully legible.

  • Included Wiring: Comes with a 3.5mm (1/8") mono audio patch cable terminating in bare wire leads.

Key Features

  • Handcrafted Real Birch Cabinet: Built from fine birch tonewood, providing acoustic resonance suppression that standard metal enclosures cannot match.

  • Custom Communications Voicing: Specially tuned frequency response (50 Hz to 8 kHz) optimized for vocal intelligibility on SSB, CW, and AM communications.

  • High Power Handling: Rated at 20 Watts with an 8-Ohm nominal impedance, pairing seamlessly with all modern amateur radio transceivers.

  • Extended-Range 5-Inch Driver: Heavy-duty internal speaker driver engineered for warm, natural low-end presence and articulate highs without harshness.

  • Tuned Bass-Reflex Porting: Front-firing slot vents enhance bass response and acoustic depth.

  • Dual Interfacing: Accommodates both standard RCA phono audio cables and push-clip raw speaker wire connections.

  • Made in the USA: Handcrafted and assembled with pride in Ohio, USA.
