Axis Communications announces two new multipurpose speakers

Axis Communications has introduced two new multipurpose, all-in-one pendant speakers that are simple to integrate. The visually appealing speakers, which are ideal for mounting on high, open ceilings, can be used to make live or prerecorded announcements and to play background music, improving the customer experience and supporting security and safety.

The AXIS C1510 and C1511 Network Pendant Speakers are all-in-one speakers that make audio announcements smart and simple. The new speakers are especially well-suited to retail stores, shopping malls, and other environments where design is important, as they blend in seamlessly and elegantly. The pendant speakers can be installed in any ceiling, regardless of height, by simply adjusting the cable length to meet your needs.

Customers can mix live or pre-recorded announcements and commercial ads to suit their needs and increase business efficiency, as well as play background music to enhance the customer experience.

The new speakers, like all Axis network audio devices, connect to standard networks and use a single network cable for both power and connectivity (Power over Ethernet).

Key features in both AXIS C1510 and AXIS C1511 include:

• Built-in audio management software handling zoning, scheduling, and prioritization between content sources
• Based on open standards, both speakers can integrate with video management software (VMS), Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony (using SIP), and with analytics from Axis and our partners
• I/O ports, enabling integration with other systems and devices such as PIR sensors, buttons, strobe lights, and more
• In-built and clearly visible LED which adds visual status information ideal for many different use cases
• Remote health testing through in-built microphone
