Description
Need bigger paging coverage without big extra costs? The Algo 1196 Satellite Horn Speaker lets you extend your existing 8196 IP PoE+ Horn Speaker system quickly and affordably. Connect up to three satellites with simple CAT5/6 cables, share the 16W audio power, and get the same loud, clear sound across warehouses, factories, or outdoor areas. Automatic detection and supervision keep everything running smoothly—no extra network drops required.
The Telecom Spot Expert Take :As telecom pros who help IT teams and facilities managers deploy reliable paging every day, we love the 1196 for what it actually delivers: serious cost savings and easy scalability. One PoE+ connection now serves up to four horns with identical high-SPL performance and full supervision. It’s perfect for noisy environments where you need every decibel but don’t want to double your infrastructure budget. The automatic noise-response and zone syncing mean less tweaking and more reliable communication—exactly what busy enterprises need. If you already run an 8196, adding 1196 satellites is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
Key Features
- Expanded coverage at a fraction of the cost — Up to three 1196 satellites connect to one 8196, sharing a single PoE+ drop and dramatically lowering per-speaker expenses for warehouses, factories, and large open areas.
- Simple daisy-chain installation — Uses standard CAT5/CAT6 patch cables (max 50 ft between speakers) with automatic detection—no extra wiring or configuration headaches.
- Identical sound & appearance — Matches the 8196 in acoustics (up to 119 dB SPL), frequency response, and rugged outdoor-rated build for consistent, professional paging.
- Full supervision & monitoring — Satellites are automatically detected and monitored via the 8196 web GUI or 8300 Controller, so you always know the system is healthy.
- Smart ambient noise response — Uses the 8196’s microphone to adjust volume automatically across the entire speaker cluster.
- Seamless integration — Adopts the same zones, volume settings, and audio files from the main 8196—perfect sync every time for announcements or emergency alerts.
- IP66-rated durability — Built for indoor or outdoor use in dust, water, and temperatures from –40 °C to +50 °C with UV-stabilized plastic and stainless steel hardware.
