User Experience
The Wahsega Surface Mount Wall Speaker with InformaCast may look like
a standard wall speaker, but it can receive audio from both the
InformaCast Advanced Notification System and a SIP PBX, acting as an
intercom for two-way conversations with the help of its built-in
microphone.
Featuring dual registration with both InformaCast and SIP servers, the
speaker is able to receive InformaCast pages in high- or low-quality
audio—both live and pre-recorded—while also supporting normal SIP
intercom calls.
The speaker may also be connected to a panic button to make emergency
SIP calls and/or a remote wall panel to access classroom sound
reinforcement functions. Its two onboard relays can be controlled by the
InformaCast server to operate door locks for up to two doors per
classroom.
In addition, a second, auxiliary speaker may be connected up to 20 meters
away via Ethernet cable. Two different Wahsega auxiliary speaker models
can be used, depending on the application. The auxiliary speaker—which
is powered by the primary speaker—can be either in the same room as
the Wahsega Surface Mount Wall Speaker or in a separate room.
In a single-room application, the Wahsega Analog Speaker (WL-SPKR-SMT-
A or WL-SPKR-22-A) acts as a companion to the primary speaker. This
auxiliary speaker’s volume can be adjusted independently, but it will
always broadcast the same audio as the main speaker. In this application,
only the primary speaker supports features such as door locks,
microphone, panic button and sound reinforcement.
