Network audio horn for paging and alerts

The Valcom VIP-480AL-W is a one-way IP horn designed for indoor or outdoor voice paging and alerting. It connects directly to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network and receives power through a PoE 802.3af link. Configuration uses manual or DHCP IP assignment with NTP time synchronisation.

Weather-resistant build with flexible mounting

The white enclosure carries an IP water-resistant rating and uses stainless steel hardware for durability in exposed locations. A single RJ-45 jack handles both data and power, reducing cabling to one Ethernet run. LED indicators on the housing show network activity and device status at a glance.

PoE power budget and audio reach define limits

The 802.3af class caps available power, so output level is fixed at the rated 108 dB measured at 1.22 metres. Frequency response spans 400 Hz to 10 kHz with a signal-to-noise ratio of -70 dB, optimising intelligibility for speech rather than music reproduction. Buyers needing higher SPL, wider bandwidth or stereo playback should consider other solutions.

Questions about this item

What does the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port limit for real-world audio streaming?

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port caps network throughput at 100 Mbps, which is ample for the G.711 u-law codec and other supported audio codecs used by this IP horn.

What physical space and mounting hardware are required for the 6.80in H x 8.30in W x 3.30in D enclosure?

The horn measures 6.80 inches high, 8.30 inches wide and 3.30 inches deep, weighs 2.10 lbs, and includes stainless steel hardware for flexible indoor or outdoor mounting.

How is the speaker powered and configured over PoE, and what step is often missed?

Connect the RJ-45 jack to an 802.3af PoE switch; the unit receives power and a DHCP address automatically, but the NTP time sync must be reachable or the clock will drift.
