It delivers wideband HD audio and can also play background music in offices, schools, healthcare facilities and retail environments. Because it is powered by PoE+, one Ethernet cable is enough for both power and data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003eThis model gives you a simple way to modernize paging without a full rip-and-replace of your existing infrastructure. You get IP control, flexible zoning and integration with your VoIP or UC platform from a single ceiling speaker endpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1678\"\u003eSatellite speaker technology for cost-effective coverage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1680\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003eA key advantage of the 8198 IP PoE+ ceiling speaker is its\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"1771\"\u003esatellite speaker technology\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Power and audio are shared across the cluster. The total available 16 W of audio power is divided equally. For example, with one satellite each speaker can output 8 W, and with three satellites each unit receives 4 W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2335\" data-end=\"2718\"\u003eThis design reduces the number of switch ports, licenses and cable drops you need. At the same time, the 8198 automatically detects and supervises attached 1198 satellite speakers. You can see how many satellites are connected from the 8198 web interface or from an Algo supervision controller, which helps you confirm that coverage is intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2720\" data-end=\"2777\"\u003eWideband audio, ambient noise response and talkback\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2779\" data-end=\"3186\"\u003eInside the 8198 IP PoE+ ceiling speaker, a 6.5″ coaxial driver sits in an optimized sealed enclosure.

As a result, voice pages, public address messages and even music playback sound clearer and more professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3188\" data-end=\"3718\"\u003eIn addition, the speaker includes an integrated microphone.

With Ambient Noise Response enabled, the 8198 can automatically adjust its volume based on background noise levels. When the area becomes louder, the speaker increases its output; when the area is quiet, it reduces the volume. This keeps announcements audible without being harsh. Talkback capability also allows two-way conversations in supported configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3720\" data-end=\"3766\"\u003eSIP, multicast and VoIP \/ UC integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3768\" data-end=\"4123\"\u003eThe 8198 IP PoE+ ceiling speaker is a fully SIP-compliant endpoint and also supports multicast paging. It can register one or more SIP extensions for live paging, ring\/notification tones and emergency alerts. Additional page, ring and emergency extensions are supported, and you can map them to different use cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4125\" data-end=\"4564\"\u003eBecause it supports SIP, multicast, Polycom Group Page and mass notification platforms like InformaCast and Syn-Apps Revolution, the 8198 integrates with most hosted, cloud and on-premise VoIP systems. It is also certified for native compatibility with Microsoft Teams via the Teams SIP Gateway. In addition, the speaker supports secure SIP with TLS, mTLS and SRTP for encrypted signaling and media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4566\" data-end=\"4759\"\u003eConfiguration is done through a browser-based web GUI or by centralized auto-provisioning. This makes large deployments easier to roll out and manage, especially in multi-building environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"4761\" data-end=\"4803\"\u003eTypical applications and deployments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4805\" data-end=\"5228\"\u003eThe 8198 IP PoE+ ceiling speaker is well suited for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4857\" data-end=\"4928\"\u003eschools, retail stores, airports, offices and healthcare facilities\u003c\/strong\u003e. You can use it for everyday paging, scheduled bells and tones, safety announcements and emergency notification. Drop-ceiling installation keeps the speaker discreet while still providing even sound coverage across corridors, classrooms and open office areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5230\" data-end=\"5647\"\u003eFor larger projects, you can combine 8198 IP PoE+ ceiling speakers with 1198 satellite speakers and other Algo IP speakers, horn speakers and visual alerters. This lets you build a unified IP paging and alerting solution that covers classrooms, hallways, warehouses, loading docks and outdoor areas.
