iPX5155Ethernet BGM / Paging Client (Audio Extractor)

Thank you for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics.

iPX5155 is a combination of Paging and Music clients in a box, reducing the equipment counts for audio transmission in a LAN environment. It is suitable for distributed paging configuration, such a placement of amplifiers in risers in multiple blocks or systems.

How it works ... iPX5155 receives normal BGM broadcast from central system, such as from iPX5200 ( audio music server ) or PMX software and deliver balanced audio output to amplifiers. Upon Paging broadcast and intended for the particular address of iPX5155, the BGM shall be muted and resume when Paging ends. UART ( RS485 ) is available for controls of zone selection if required.

With iPX5000 series of LAN paging equipment, new setup for large and decentralized paging system is now made easier and affordable. Upgrading to IP from conventional analogue PA system would be made achievable without having to change the whole system.
