ALGO 8197 IP PoE+ Weather Hardened Horn Speaker

In noisy industrial environments, standard speakers fail to deliver clear, intelligible voice paging and emergency alerts. The ALGO 8197 IP PoE+ Weather Hardened Horn Speaker solves this with high-output, network-connected audio designed for harsh conditions.

Who is it for

Facilities managers, integrators, and IT teams needing reliable IP paging, loud ringing, and emergency notification in outdoor or washdown areas such as warehouses, loading docks, parking lots, and manufacturing plants.

Main features

• High sound pressure level up to 112 dBA at 1 meter for clear announcements in loud environments.
• PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 4) power and data over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.
• Weather-hardened IP66-rated housing for outdoor use in rain, dust, and extreme temperatures from -40°C to 50°C.
• Built-in Class D amplifier and wideband audio codecs (G.711, G.722, G.729a) for excellent voice quality.
• Integrated SIP endpoint for direct registration to VoIP phone systems, with support for multicast paging.
• Security features include TLS, SRTP, and 802.1X authentication for safe network deployment.
• Flexible integration with one dry contact input and one relay output for sensor or strobe control.
• Wall or pole mountable with included bracket; UV-resistant ABS plastic housing for long-term durability.

Tips

For maximum coverage, mount the speaker high on a wall or pole, angled slightly downward toward the listening area. Use the relay output to trigger a visual strobe for ADA-compliant alerting. Configure multicast paging to broadcast to multiple speakers simultaneously without additional server load.
