Deploy IP Paging More Cost Effectively with Algo’s Satellite Speaker Technology
Explore the benefits of the new 8198 and 8196 IP PoE+ Ceiling and Horn Speakers with Algo’s innovative method of connecting and supervising multiple satellite speakers.
The 8198 IP PoE+ Ceiling Speaker & 8196 IP PoE+ Horn Speaker are SIP compliant and multicast-capable PoE+ network audio devices for live voice paging, alerting, announcements, and emergency notification. An innovative method of connecting and supervising multiple satellite speakers reduces required network ports and cable drops while maintaining all of the benefits of IP paging.
Significant Cost Savings
The Algo 8198 and 8196 speakers can provide significant savings when combined with one or more 1198 or 1196 satellite speakers.
For expanded coverage and reduced costs, up to three satellite speakers may be connected to the 8196 or 8198 speakers sharing the 16W of available audio power. Each satellite speaker attached is automatically detected by the 8198 or 8196 IP Speaker and monitored for connectivity.
In typical applications, the 8198 or 8196 is deployed with a single satellite speaker, connected via a standard patch cable. In this application, only one network drop is required reducing installation time, labor costs, and licensing requirements. Each speaker generates 8W of audio power output. When maximum audio output can be traded for maximum cost savings, up to three satellite speakers can be connected to one IP speaker; providing greater cost savings.
The Algo 1198 and 1196 Satellite speakers are identical in performance to the 8198 and 8196 IP Speakers, maintaining all of the benefits and advantages of IP paging; including remote network configuration, endpoint supervision, multicast scalability, and superior audio performance.

Flexible Deployment
Ideal configuration differs by deployment. The Algo 8196 and 8198 speakers may be deployed all as homerun IP speakers or in combination with satellite speakers. When deploying satellite speakers, it is important to consider your application and maximum audio output requirements before choosing a configuration. For maximum output, select all IP speakers. For maximum cost savings, deploy three satellite speakers per IP speaker.
