Algo 8301 IP Voice Paging Adapter & Bell Scheduler

Supports Multicast Transmit/Receive, Extension plus zone dialing, Multiple SIP Registrations

The Algo 8301 is a network managed and supervised SIP endpoint that utilizes your existing PoE network for connectivity.

Lineinput means you can connect an audio source and stream to your SIP devices via multicast, such as music. The scheduling feature allows for advanced calendar based daily automation of audio announcements, class change bells, shift change alerts, and other similar functions. Use pre-recorded audio or upload your own sounds and audio.

Line output means you can connect to a legacy paging amplifier system without need to buy a new system with your VoIP migration, thereby saving you money from previous technology investments.

- If your system will support a SIP IP Telephone, it will support the 8301 SIP Adapter -

The Algo 8301 8301 is a PoE IP Paging Adapter for integrating existing and traditional paging solutions into a VoIP environment, whether premise or hosted. Features include G.722 wideband support with isolated and balanced line output for optimum clarity and intelligibility without hum or noise. To the network side, the 8301 is a SIP endpoint for easy integration with an IP telephone system and easily configured using the intuitive web interface or provisioning capabilities. On the paging side, the 8301 provides balanced audio output using both an XLR connector and terminal block for easy connection to an amplifier, along with a dry contact closure if required by the amplifier. Further speech enhancement is provided by automatic level control, choice of frequency masks, and optional speech compression. Output level is compatible with consumer, commercial, and pro-audio amplifiers requiring either -10 dBm, 0 dBm, or +4 dBu line level.

An audio input (also balanced and isolated to prevent equipment ground loops) can be used for auxiliary input or insertion of the 8301 between existing equipment. This allows IP based paging or emergency notification to take control of the amplifier as necessary. Multicast capability allows scalability for multiple amplifiers as well as integration with Algo IP speakers and/or strobes in zoned and large scale applications (e.g. 8128, 8180, 8186, 8188, 8301, 8373).
