Description
Tired of outdated analog paging that's hard to manage and expensive to expand? The Viking 40-IP brings modern SIP and multicast paging to any ceiling or wall in minutes — just plug it into your PoE switch with a single CAT5/6 cable and you're ready for clear announcements, background music, or zoned paging across your building.
This shallow-depth speaker fits neatly into standard 2×4 stud walls or ceilings and includes a built-in 6-watt amplifier with automatic gain control that adjusts output volume based on ambient noise levels — so your announcements are always audible without blasting quiet areas. It supports both SIP endpoint paging for direct calls and multicast paging for zone-wide simultaneous announcements across the network. A built-in Talk-Back microphone enables two-way conversation when called as a SIP endpoint. Priority paging capability ensures emergency announcements override background music automatically.
Our Expert Take: The 40-IP is one of the cleanest ways to add or expand a VoIP paging system without running 70V speaker wire throughout a building. Single-cable PoE installation, multicast zone support, and auto-gain control make it especially practical for multi-zone office buildings, schools, and retail spaces. Pair multiple units on the same multicast group for simultaneous building-wide announcements.
