Whilst we all know the many benefits of VoIP, there are certain situations where customers don’t want to upgrade existing PA systems. This could be down to the complexity of upgrading or a lack of resources and knowledge of the products that are available. Analogue systems are sometimes overly complicated to implement, and most VoIP installers shy away from it. But it doesn’t have to be that way, with Algo’s product range implementing and integrating IP paging is easy.

Algo 8301 IP Paging Adaptor Ideal for use in hospitality or public sector environments, the 8301 can be applied to an existing analogue system and convert it to integrate with most VoIP systems – giving your customers the advantages of an IP system at a fraction of the cost. On top of this, the 8301 can also add enhanced features such as multicast, music streaming and scheduling of pre-recorded messages to the system. |

Algo 8180 SIP Alerter Unlike traditional paging speakers, the 8180 is powered via PoE, removing the need for excessive cabling. This can integrate with the 8301 or link up with any SIP based IP phone system to offer an all-round solution which can be remotely managed online. |

Both the Algo 8180 and 8301 have a relay input enabling you to add a connection to an emergency button which can be used in emergencies to trigger a voice alarm.

This guide is designed to show how to make an Algo 8301 multicast the audio it receives on the Line IN or AUX IN ports.
In this guide we will use two Algo 8301 units, the first as the Multicast sender and the second as the multicast receiver.
Configuring the Multicast Sender
Log in to the Algo 8301 Web GUI and change the following settings:
Configuring the Multicast Receiver
Log in to the second Algo 8301 Web GUI and change the following settings:
Thats It! Couldn’t be simpler. In my test, I chose the Audio Input Port as the Aux IN port, then connected my mobile phone using a normal AUX cable. I then connected some PC speakers to the Aux OUT port on the second Algo 8301.
When I played the music on my phone, it was played out over the speakers plugged in to the second Algo, which was receiving the audio over multicast.
This would be a great way to take an audio input source in one location, and broadcast the message across a large site with multiple speaker groups.

I think nearly anyone that has seen the Algo audio alerting devices has wondered what a group of them would sound like when they are positioned together.
Recently here at ProVu we got to group 38 Algo devices together and set them up to listen on multicast.
We were impressed with the kit and the result, the audio setting was left untouched so they are set to the default (I think it is 4 and goes up to 10) so they can become louder if required.

Algo has produced an interesting, easy to follow video with the features and benefits of the Algo 8186 SIP Horn Speaker.
The Algo 8186 is a weatherproof SIP horn speaker which is suitable for voice paging and loud ringing in both indoor and outdoor environments.
We launched the Algo 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker back in January which joined our expanding range of Algo paging and alerting devices. This SIP ceiling speaker can integrate natively with Polycom™ Group Page for overhead announcements.
The 8188 provides additional coverage in common areas or where sound reinforcement is needed, like classrooms, lobbies or hallways. The 8188 can also be configured to join Polycom paging groups or zones.
Polycom Group Page has no dependency on a SIP server and therefore the 8188 also integrates seamlessly with Skype™ for Business/Lync™.
SIP Initiated Group Paging
Polycom VVX phone calling Algo 8180 SIP alerter which simultaneously launches a local Polycom Group Page.
Algo paging endpoints have multicast broadcast capability. While paging or alerting, they can simultaneously multicast over the network.
