ALGO 1198 1-Way Wired Ceiling Satellite Speaker, White

The ALGO 1198 is a 1-way wired ceiling satellite speaker designed to deliver reliable and clear audio performance in professional environments. This single-driver unit is engineered for seamless integration with the ALGO 8198 SIP PoE+ Ceiling Speaker, allowing for cost-effective audio expansion in larger spaces. Its compact, white aesthetic ensures that the speaker blends discreetly into various ceiling types, maintaining a clean and professional look while providing consistent sound output.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the ALGO 1198 is its ability to function as a satellite unit within a larger audio network, significantly reducing installation costs when paired with a primary IP speaker. The device supports a simple daisy-chain connection using standard network cabling, which simplifies the setup process for multi-speaker configurations. Furthermore, the speaker is automatically detected by the host system, allowing for centralized monitoring and management of connectivity status. Its acoustical output is matched to the primary speaker, ensuring uniform sound distribution throughout the installation area.

Suitable for

• Schools and educational facilities
• Retail stores and shopping centers
• Airports and transportation hubs
• Office environments and corporate buildings

This speaker is not intended for standalone operation as it requires a compatible primary IP speaker to function. It is also not suitable for outdoor environments or areas with high humidity, as it is designed specifically for indoor ceiling installations.

Key specifications

• Speaker type: 1-way
• Number of drivers: 1
• Connectivity: Wired

To use the ALGO 1198, connect it to an ALGO 8198 SIP PoE+ Ceiling Speaker using standard CAT5 or CAT6 patch cables. The system will automatically detect the satellite speaker upon connection. Once connected, the satellite unit will adopt the zone and volume settings of the primary speaker, and its status can be monitored through the host speaker's web interface or a centralized supervision controller.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires an ALGO 8198 SIP PoE+ Ceiling Speaker for operation
