For expanded coverage, up to three satellite speakers may be connected to the 8196 speaker sharing the 16W of available audio power. The 8196 IP PoE+ Horn Speaker can provide significant savings when combined with one or more 1196 satellite speakers. Satellite speakers are connected to the 8196 in a daisy chain fashion using CAT5/CAT6 standard patch cables. Each 1196 Satellite Speaker attached is detected by the 8196 IP Speaker automatically and can be monitored for connectivity. The number of attached satellite speakers is displayed in the 8196 web GUI and also visible in the 8300 Supervision Controller, if deployed. Identical in appearance and acoustical output to the 8196 IP speaker, the satellite speakers can provide ambient noise response based on the 8196 microphone noise detection and by default automatically adopt the zone and volume settings of the 8196 speaker.
