Snom has developed a SIP bridge (PA1) enabling businesses to extend their existing public announcement speaker system while upgrading from digital/POTs systems into SIP-based voice communication solutions. The PA1 can be used in both small and large applications due to the inclusion of a 4-watt amplifier for single speaker projects. A microphone input is provided for two-way communication. Larger projects can utilize multiple speakers driven by external high wattage amplifier(s). The PA1 serves as an auto SIP answering preamp that drives the multi-speaker setup.  Use of Snom’s proven SIP stack enables wide compatibility with all SIP platforms.

Applications for the Snom PA1 include:

Large PA systems driven by external amplifier(s).
Small PA systems driven by internal PA1 amplifier (eg. door answering system), and internal relay to open door(s).
 Phone ringer amplifier with ability to drive strobe light as visual indicator.
 Multi-cast relay up to 4 SIP identities to four multi-cast IP addresses.

Voltage feed via network (PoE): IEEE 802.3af, class 3
Ethernet: 2 x IEEE 802.3, 10/100 Mbps switch
This product does not ship with a power supply. If you are not using a POE enabled network, you must purchase a POE injector or use a standard Snom power supply.
