“TOA Masjid” and the Culture of Sound in Indonesia

For communities across Indonesia, sound of TOA horn speakers is more than just a loudspeaker—it has become part of everyday life. From the call to prayer at mosques and musholas, to announcements in markets, schools, and public spaces, people have grown familiar with the distinct and powerful sound that comes from what many refer to as “TOA Masjid.”

 

Interestingly, the term “TOA” is often used generically to refer to any horn speaker, although it is in fact a registered trademark of TOA Corporation Japan, which has been present in Indonesia for decades. This strong brand recognition was built on TOA’s consistent durability, clear sound quality, and wide sound coverage—making its products adaptable across various environments and needs.

 

As public facilities grow and modernize, horn speaker technology continues to evolve. Today, their application extends beyond small prayer rooms or local buildings—they are now widely used in stadiums, industrial complexes, and even large-scale emergency paging systems.

 

To meet these growing demands, TOA Indonesia continues to offer solutions that preserve the trusted TOA sound character, but with higher performance and broader coverage capabilities. A key innovation in this evolution is Z-DH502-AS, a modern straight horn speaker equipped with 2x60-watt drivers, delivering powerful, stable, and far-reaching sound. Its robust design makes it suitable for a variety of outdoor applications, including large-scale houses of worship, industrial zones and warehouses, stadiums and open venues, public announcement and emergency evacuation systems.

 

While rooted in the same spirit as the iconic “TOA Masjid” speaker known to many Indonesians, Z-DH502-AS is purpose-built to handle more complex outdoor audio challenges. By maintaining TOA’s signature reliability, this product carries forward a legacy of sound that continues to serve and connect communities—generation after generation.

 

In Indonesia, TOA products are marketed by the exclusive agent PT TOA Galva Prima Karya. Customers can purchase them through TOA Indonesia’s authorized dealers or online via e-commerce platforms.
