Because it is powered by PoE (IEEE 802.3af), a single Ethernet cable provides both power and data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"765\"\u003eThe 8188 is a fully compliant third-party SIP endpoint. As a result, it works with most hosted, cloud and on-premise VoIP telephone systems without the need for a separate amplifier or analog gateway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"767\" data-end=\"813\"\u003eWideband HD audio for clear announcements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003eThe 8188 IP ceiling speaker supports the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"889\"\u003eG.722 wideband HD voice codec\u003c\/strong\u003e. Therefore, speech is more intelligible and natural than with traditional narrowband audio. This improves clarity for voice announcements and emergency notifications, and helps achieve better intelligibility in education and public-address environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1459\"\u003eIn addition, the 8188 is\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003emusic-capable\u003c\/strong\u003e. Using an Algo IP paging adapter or another compatible source, you can stream background music to the speaker as multicast audio. The music stream can run at a lower priority, so live paging, emergency alerts or scheduled tones automatically interrupt it when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1505\"\u003eAmbient noise compensation and talkback\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1889\"\u003eThe 8188 includes an integrated microphone.

When the environment becomes louder, the speaker increases its output. When the room is quiet, it reduces the level again. As a result, announcements stay audible without being excessively loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1891\" data-end=\"2126\"\u003eThe same microphone also enables\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"1936\"\u003etalkback\u003c\/strong\u003e. In supported configurations, users can have two-way conversations through the 8188 IP ceiling speaker, which is useful for classrooms, help points or supervision from a central location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2128\" data-end=\"2170\"\u003eMulticast scalability and zone paging\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2172\" data-end=\"2586\"\u003eThe 8188 IP ceiling speaker supports\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2209\" data-end=\"2239\"\u003emulticast send and receive\u003c\/strong\u003e, which makes it easy to scale paging across a building, campus or enterprise. A single SIP-registered 8188 can multicast audio to many IP speakers, strobe lights, paging adapters and multicast-capable IP phones. Devices that only receive multicast do not need their own SIP registrations, which reduces license usage and configuration overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2588\" data-end=\"2995\"\u003eYou can configure\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2606\" data-end=\"2650\"\u003emulticast zone paging for up to 50 zones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efrom one 8188 IP speaker. Zones can be selected in two ways. First, you can map multicast zones to individual Page SIP extensions on the speaker. Second, to minimize registrations, you can use DTMF keypress selection from the dialing telephone. This flexibility allows fine-grained paging control for classrooms, departments and common areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2997\" data-end=\"3037\"\u003eEmergency notification and alerting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3039\" data-end=\"3349\"\u003eThe 8188 supports\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3057\" data-end=\"3076\"\u003eEmergency Alert\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSIP extensions for safety and security notifications. You can register multiple Emergency Alert extensions and assign a different WAV file to each one. For example, you might use distinct tones or messages for lockdown, evacuation, shelter-in-place and all-clear events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3351\" data-end=\"3726\"\u003eTo trigger an alert, you simply dial the corresponding Emergency Alert extension or activate it from a dry-contact button wired to the relay input. The 8188 then plays the selected WAV file over the speaker, either for a preset duration or until a “call to cancel” extension stops it. This makes emergency alerting fast and reliable from any telephone or compatible device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3728\" data-end=\"3760\"\u003eLoud ringing and night bell\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3762\" data-end=\"4136\"\u003eIn addition to paging and alerts, the 8188 can act as an\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3819\" data-end=\"3837\"\u003eIP loud ringer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eor night bell. When a Ring SIP extension is called, the speaker plays a ring tone WAV file stored in its internal memory. Typically, that Ring extension is part of a ring group together with one or more telephones. The WAV file plays for the duration of the ring event until the call is answered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4138\" data-end=\"4459\"\u003eYou can choose from built-in ring tones or upload custom WAV files for specific applications. If you need both audible and visual ring indication, you can pair the 8188 with an IP strobe using multicast or relay control. This combination works well in noisy areas such as workshops, production floors and loading docks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"4461\" data-end=\"4519\"\u003eEasy installation, PoE power and typical applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4521\" data-end=\"4727\"\u003eThe 8188 IP ceiling speaker is designed for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4565\" data-end=\"4594\"\u003edrop-ceiling installation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eusing four built-in clamps.
