Description of IP loudspeakers

STENTOFON is proud to be among one of the first in the world to introduce an IP Ceiling Loudspeaker. Many manufacturers use junction boxes for their IP electronics while we have incorporated it into the speaker cabinet itself.

With IP, the system is able to monitor and address each speaker individually. By moving the amplifier from a central unit out to the speaker itself, the need for a central amplifier unit with conventional speaker loops is eliminated. This makes the system highly scalable, and adding another speaker is very easy.

Even though conventional speaker loops are not used, the speakers can still be divided into groups. These zones can now extend over networks or span the Internet.

The IP Loudspeakers has an integrated managed data switch providing advanced networking and security features. The integrated switch provides support for:

  • Protection from undesirable access
  • Quality of Service (QoS) by managing data traffic
  • Increased system availability through redundant LAN infrastructure
  • Cost-effective installation by providing shared network connections

To provide maximum availability, the speaker comes with advanced supervision functions. The speaker line test will detect if there are any faults in the network or speaker electronics. The status of the speaker is reported to AlphaWeb as well as to 3rd party management systems using SNMP, Syslog, or OPC.

The speaker has a built-in web server for status information, control, and upgrade. It is easy to install and maintain and all broadcasts are logged in detailed reports using STENTOFON AlphaCom.
