Description
Drive up to 40 Valcom one-way amplified speakers over a 25-volt speaker line from a single InformaCast-integrated IP amplifier with the VIP-851-25-IC, a 20-watt PoE+ SIP gateway with relay output, VOX input, and automatic AUX music muting during pages.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The VIP-851 series bridges the IP network to analog 25V speaker lines — it receives the page from the SIP phone system or InformaCast server and drives the downstream speaker run. One unit handles up to 40 Valcom one-way amplified speakers, making it practical for large speaker zones. The AUX input mutes background music automatically when a page arrives. Front-panel LEDs indicate PoE+ status and supervision faults without opening the enclosure. The IC suffix adds InformaCast priority routing.
