Overview
Axis C1310-E Mk II Network Horn Speaker
The Axis C1310-E Mk II Network Horn Speaker delivers powerful, intelligible audio alerts and announcements across expansive outdoor and indoor spaces. This second-generation IP-based speaker integrates seamlessly into modern security and public address systems, enabling rapid response to detected threats or emergency situations. Designed for 24/7 operation in harsh environments, it combines robust engineering with intelligent software capabilities to provide reliable acoustic coverage where it matters most.
Key Features
- High-output re-entrant horn speaker delivering >121 dB sound pressure level
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered—no external power supply required
- IP66-rated weatherproof aluminum and stainless steel enclosure rated for extreme temperatures (-40°C to 60°C)
- Built-in 7 W Class D amplifier with integrated microphone
- AXIS Audio Manager Edge with content scheduling and message prioritization
- Two-way audio with optional half-duplex echo cancellation
- Auto Speaker Test functionality for reliable system verification
- Enterprise-grade security: signed firmware, secure boot, MACsec support, and IEEE 802.1X authentication
Technical Specifications
The C1310-E Mk II features a 70° horizontal by 100° vertical coverage pattern at 2 kHz, with frequency response spanning 280 Hz to 12.5 kHz for clear voice intelligibility. The device supports multiple audio formats including AAC LC, G.711 PCM, G.726 ADPCM, MP3, and WAV at sampling rates up to 48 kHz. Equipped with 1 GB RAM and 1 GB flash storage, plus built-in digital signal processing, it handles complex audio workflows without requiring external processing hardware. Gigabit Ethernet connectivity supports IPv4, IPv6, RTSP, SRTP, and comprehensive network management via SNMP v3 and HTTP/2.
Applications
Ideal for parking facilities, transportation hubs, industrial campuses, retail environments, and secure perimeters requiring rapid audio alerts and live announcements. The speaker integrates with AXIS Companion, AXIS Camera Station, and third-party VMS platforms via open VAPIX® APIs and ACAP support, enabling unified security workflows triggered by video analytics or manual intervention.
Installation & Management
PoE power simplifies cabling and reduces infrastructure costs. Built-in test tone verification aids commissioning. AXIS Audio Manager Edge handles content scheduling, prioritization, and edge-based recording, while optional AXIS Audio Manager Pro and the cloud-based AXIS Audio Manager Center support larger deployments. Configurable I/O terminals enable integration with external sensors or alarms.

The C1310-E Mk II stands apart through intelligent audio management at the edge. The combination of auto speaker testing and built-in system logging minimizes false alerts and maintenance overhead. Its Axis Edge Vault secure element (CC EAL 6+) ensures that audio content and network credentials remain protected against tampering.
The IP66 rating and wide temperature tolerance make it genuinely suitable for extreme outdoor deployments where conventional networked speakers fail. For integrators, the ACAP and VAPIX support means custom event triggers—such as camera-detected loitering or intrusions—can automatically trigger priority voice alerts, creating a cohesive deterrent response without manual intervention.
