It gives reception desks, offices and venues a desktop paging station with zone selection, chime and push-to-talk on a glass touch panel. Part of AUDAC's Consenso family, it connects to the matrix over standard CAT5E cabling for commercial paging and background music systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC MPX88 8-zone paging microphone work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/MPX88_shadow.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC MPX88 8-zone SurfaceTouch paging microphone\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MPX88 is built around a real glass front panel with an anti-glare coating, with capacitive, illuminated zone buttons and LED indicators integrated behind the glass, so there are no mechanically moving parts. The operator selects one or more of the eight zones, or uses the select and clear-all buttons, then holds the push-to-talk button while speaking. An integrated chime tone sounds before each announcement. Speech is picked up by a tiltable pipe-neck microphone with a back electret condenser capsule and cardioid pattern, which helps reject background noise at a busy desk. Zone selection and data bus indicators show the current operating mode and whether the bus is occupied by another station. The unit connects to the MTX88 through a fixed 2 m (6.6 ft) RJ45 cable and takes its 24 V DC power from the matrix. The run can be extended up to 300 m (984 ft) using standard CAT5E or better twisted-pair cable. Several paging stations can be cascaded on the priority-based, user-configurable data bus using the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-arj03p-rj45-splitter-junction-box-for-use-with-apm-mtx-series\"\u003eARJ03P junction box\u003c\/a\u003e.
