Viking Electronics’ new PSA-TB-IP analogue to IP speaker adapter enables the re-use of analogue speakers, while adding talk-back capabilities.
“We think the new Viking model PSA-TB-IP is an easy cost-effective way to convert analogue paging speakers into two-way IP talk-back speakers,” said Greg Yocom, Engineering Manager, Viking Electronics.
PSA-TB-IP adapter
The PSA-TB-IP adapter is equipped with a microphone, to enable talk-back paging and silent monitoring of the area. It also monitors ambient noise levels, in order to automatically adjust speaker volume. The built-in 6-watt Class D amplifier can be used to drive a connected paging speaker.
Users can easily mount the PSA-TB-IP magnetically to the back of an analogue speaker magnet or use the included screws, to attach the unit to the speaker frame, using the 25/70V transformer mounting holes.
IP programming software
Users can connect the speaker output of PSA-TB-IP to the input of the paging speaker and then, connect the PSA-TB-IP to an open port, on a PoE switch and use Viking’s IP Programming software, to enter SIP and network credentials. After the quick conversion, the speaker can be used for two-way SIP end-point paging or one-way multi-cast paging.
