Browse by Product Family

Click through to shop the families that fit your paging & speakers deployment.

IP Network Speakers

PoE-powered and networked speakers that integrate directly into IP-based intercom and paging systems. Ideal for facilities with existing data infrastructure and demand for centralized audio routing.

Analog & Hybrid Speakers

Traditional 70V/100V line speakers compatible with legacy amplified paging systems and hybrid installations. Support larger deployments across multiple zones without network dependency.

Ceiling & In-Wall Speakers

Recessed and flush-mount speakers for offices, corridors, and public areas. Provide discreet audio coverage while maintaining aesthetics in finished interior spaces.

Outdoor & Weather-Rated Speakers

IP65+ rated horn and weatherproof speakers designed for exterior use, loading docks, and open-air campuses. Withstand moisture, temperature extremes, and high ambient noise.

Directional & Horn Speakers

High-output, focused-beam speakers for long-distance announcements and area coverage. Common in warehouses, parking structures, and large outdoor facilities.

Emergency & Mass Notification Speakers

High-wattage and attention-getting speakers designed for emergency paging, evacuation alerts, and campus-wide critical announcements. Often integrated with Code Blue systems.

What to Look For When Buying

The decisions that matter most before you spec.

Impedance, Wattage & Line Voltage Matching

Speaker impedance (8Ω, 16Ω, 70V, 100V) must match your amplifier output and total circuit load. Undersized amplifiers cause distortion and speaker failure; oversized wattage drives unnecessary heat. Verify speaker accessories include matching transformers and load-matching terminal blocks.

Coverage Area & Sound Pressure Level (SPL)

Rated SPL at 1m (typically 86–110 dB) determines intelligibility in your acoustic space. Warehouses and outdoor areas need 95+ dB; offices need 80–90 dB. Factor in ambient noise, ceiling height, and distance from the farthest listener to avoid under-powering announcements.

Environmental & Moisture Ratings

Indoor speakers (no rating) are suitable only for climate-controlled spaces. IP54+ ratings resist dust and light splash; IP65+ are required for outdoor, wet areas, loading docks, and kitchens. Stainless hardware and UV-resistant enclosures extend lifespan in harsh conditions.

Integration with Existing Intercom & Paging Systems

PoE-based speakers from Axis, 2N, and Hanwha integrate natively into IP intercom backbones; analog speakers from Valcom and Speco Technologies work with amplified zone systems. Confirm compatibility with your control unit, VoIP PBX, or legacy paging amplifier before purchase.

Mounting, Physical Form & Aesthetic Constraints

Ceiling-flush, pendant, wall-mount, and pole-mount options suit different interior and exterior contexts. Smaller facilities often prefer compact mounting solutions; large campuses require standardized, replaceable form factors. Verify clearance, bracket compatibility, and whether speakers need accessories for installation.

Reliability During Critical Events & System Redundancy

Paging systems must remain operational during power outages, network failures, and security incidents. Redundant amplification, battery backup on PoE injectors, and hardwired failover paths protect emergency announcements. Reference why surveillance systems fail during incidents for broader system resilience principles that apply to integrated paging infrastructure.

Technology Stack

The specs and acronyms that actually affect paging & speakers performance.

70V & 100V Line (Constant-Voltage)

Low-impedance, transformer-coupled circuit design that allows long cable runs and parallel speaker wiring without significant voltage drop or impedance mismatches. Standard in analog commercial paging installations across multiple zones and floors.

PoE (Power over Ethernet)

Single Cat5e/6 cable delivers both power and IP audio stream to networked speakers, eliminating separate audio and power cabling. Simplifies installation and enables centralized amplification in small-to-medium facilities with existing LAN infrastructure.

SPL at 1m (Sound Pressure Level)

Measured output in decibels; higher SPL means longer throw distance and greater intelligibility in noisy environments. Typical range is 86–110 dB; outdoor and warehouse speakers usually 95+ dB to overcome ambient machinery and traffic noise.

IP Rating (Ingress Protection)

Two-digit code (e.g., IP54, IP65) indicating dust and water resistance. First digit = dust protection; second = water resistance. IP54 resists light splash; IP65 is fully sealed for outdoor and wet-environment use.

Frequency Response & Bandwidth

Paging speakers typically optimize 500 Hz–4 kHz (human speech clarity) rather than full-range audio; narrow bandwidth reduces cost and improves voice intelligibility. Wider response (20 Hz–20 kHz) adds cost but useful for music-on-hold or dual-use systems.

Transformer & Impedance Matching

Built-in or external transformers (70V/100V step-down types) convert fixed-voltage line output to speaker impedance while isolating voice-only audio from other circuits. Essential for long cable runs and multi-zone amplification to prevent distortion and speaker damage.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

Mid-Size Office Campus (6 buildings, 30 zones)

Deploy 45–60 ceiling speakers across 6 buildings on a single 70V/100V line system. Use Valcom or Speco amplifiers (1 per building) with zone selectors and audio input from IP PBX. Include intercom accessories (selector modules, transformers) for each zone. Budget for ceiling/wall mounts and outdoor break-area horns.

Warehouse with Loading Dock & Forklift Areas

Install 12–15 weather-rated horn and ceiling speakers in high-ambient-noise zones (dock: 100 dB SPL minimum). Use Axis or Speco IP speakers for office intercom integration; analog 70V horns for outdoor areas. Include stainless steel brackets, UV-resistant cabling, and weather-rated conduit for exterior runs.

K-12 Campus Emergency Mass Notification (2,000+ occupants)

Integrate Code Blue emergency speakers (25–35 units) with pole-mounted horns in quad areas, parking, and athletic facilities. Pair with Hanwha or 2N IP paging endpoints for 1-touch evacuation announcements. Include UPS-backed PoE injectors and hardwired analog backup amplifiers. Refer to school surveillance system design guide for integrated voice–video coordination.

Retail Multi-Location Chain (10 stores, IP backbone)

Deploy 8–10 ceiling speakers per store on PoE from Axis or Hanwha. Connect each store's IP speaker network to centralized corporate VoIP PBX for corporate announcements and local zone paging. Use speaker accessories (mount brackets, cable management) for uniform install. Scale power budget across PoE infrastructure to avoid switch overload.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 70V and 100V line speakers?

Both 70V and 100V are constant-voltage systems that allow long cable runs and easy zone expansion. 70V is more common in North America and smaller facilities; 100V is standard in Europe and large installations. They use the same transformer-coupled wiring principle but are not interchangeable—confirm your amplifier output voltage before purchasing speakers.

Can I mix PoE and analog speakers in the same system?

Yes, if your control unit supports both. PoE speakers from Axis or 2N can coexist with analog 70V zones via separate amplifier modules or hybrid controllers. However, you'll manage two different audio paths and power feeds—simpler to standardize on one technology per facility if possible.

How do I calculate total wattage needed for a multi-zone paging system?

Add the nominal wattage (at 8Ω or line-voltage rated power) of all speakers in a zone; don't simply use the amplifier's maximum rating. For example, five 5W speakers = 25W minimum amplifier; use 40–50W to allow headroom and prevent distortion. Account for simultaneous use across zones and peak announcement demand.

What's the minimum IP rating for outdoor speakers in a warehouse?

IP54 resists dust and light splash but is not suitable for rain or hosing. IP65 is the practical minimum for outdoor loading docks, yards, and wet areas. IP67 (temporary submersion) and IP69K (high-pressure jets) exist but are overkill for most facilities. Check local climate and cleaning practices to avoid premature corrosion.

Do paging speakers need special cabling or conduit?

Standard Ethernet (Cat5e/6) works for PoE speakers; analog 70V/100V speakers use standard speaker cable (16–12 AWG depending on distance). Outdoor installations should use UV-rated PVC conduit or direct-bury cable to protect against UV degradation and moisture. Verify speaker accessories include appropriate cable terminations and strain relief.

How do I ensure paging announcements are intelligible in a noisy environment?

Choose speakers rated 95+ dB SPL and position them to minimize echo and reverberation. In warehouses, use directional horns aimed at occupied zones rather than omni-directional ceiling speakers. Test speech intelligibility (clarity of words, not just volume) during commissioning. Consider zone-based distribution—multiple smaller speakers at moderate volume beats one loud speaker in a large space.
