Algo-1198B

Description

The 8198 IP Ceiling Speaker is a SIP compliant and multicast capable PoE+ network audio device for public address and notification. For expanded coverage, up to three satellite speakers may be connected to the 8198 speaker sharing the 16W of available audio power.

For most typical paging applications the number of network cable drops can be reduced by 75% with corresponding reduction in installation time, network ports and cost. Standard network patch cables are used to connect the satellite speakers in a daisy chain string from the 8198 IP speaker.

Identical in appearance and acoustical output to the 8198 IP speaker, the satellite speakers can provide ambient
noise response based on the 8198 microphone noise detection and by default automatically adopt the zone and volume settings of the 8198 speaker.

Since an important benefit of IP paging is the ability to supervise speakers for connectivity and operational assurance, the 8198 IP speaker automatically detects each satellite speaker connected and continuously
monitors the satellite speakers.

The 8198 is compatible with all leading SIP based premise or hosted UC platforms, leading mass notification
software platforms, Polycom Group Page and standard RTP multicast.
