Algo 8199 IP PoE+ Surface Mount Speaker – High-Intelligibility SIP Paging for Solid Walls & Ceilings
If you're installing a VoIP paging or emergency notification system in a building with concrete, brick, or solid wood walls and ceilings, the Algo 8199 IP PoE+ Surface Mount Speaker is the perfect solution. Unlike traditional ceiling speakers that rely on drop-tile grids, the 8199 is built specifically for surface mounting on hard surfaces while delivering the same outstanding audio quality and feature set that Algo is known for.
This isn't just another IP speaker – it's a smart, scalable endpoint that combines crystal-clear wideband (G.722) audio with innovative satellite speaker technology, letting you cover larger areas without running extra network drops or buying additional SIP licenses.
Why Customers Choose the Algo 8199
- Satellite Speaker Expansion – One 8199 can power and fully supervise up to three 1199 Satellite Surface Mount Speakers via simple daisy-chain cabling (up to 150 ft total). That means four times the coverage using only one PoE+ port, one IP address, and one SIP extension – huge savings on infrastructure and licensing.
- Exceptional Speech Clarity – 6.5″ coaxial driver with PEI dome tweeter, 16 W amplifier, 100 dBA SPL at 1 m, and a wide 140° dispersion angle. Add in ambient noise compensation that automatically adjusts volume based on room noise, and your pages are always heard loud and clear.
- Full SIP Compliance & Security – Registers as multiple extensions (up to 50 page, 10 emergency, 10 ring). Supports TLS/mTLS/SRTP, Microsoft Teams (via SIP Gateway), Zoom Phone, RingCentral, Poly Group Page, and many others. InformaCast version (8199-IC) available for Singlewire environments.
- Multicast Ready – Broadcast to up to 50 zones from a single device with no extra server load. Perfect for zone paging in schools, warehouses, offices, hospitals, or retail spaces.
- Talkback & Monitoring – Built-in omnidirectional microphone for two-way communication and ambient noise detection.
- Easy Integration – Relay input works with Algo call buttons (1202/1203), volume controls (1204), or any dry contact. RESTful API, zero-touch provisioning, and compatibility with ADMP or third-party SNMP monitoring.
Ideal Applications
- Hallways and corridors with concrete ceilings
- Warehouses or manufacturing floors
- Gymnasiums, cafeterias, cafeterias, and auditoriums
- Healthcare facilities and educational campuses
- Anywhere drop-ceiling tiles aren't an option but you still need reliable, high-intelligibility IP audio
