Cambridge Sound NPX H1100 10-button convenience paging station - 911.1841.900

Product Overview

The Cambridge Sound NPX H1100 (part number 911.1841.900) is a 10-button convenience paging station with a handheld microphone for Qt X and Tesira systems. Embedded DSP and on-board memory support standard and advanced public address functions, with digital audio and control data carried over AVB or Dante. It stores up to 999 user-configurable page codes and up to 10 prerecorded messages. The H1100 meets convenience paging requirements for facilities of all sizes.

Product Description

The H1100 pairs a push-to-talk handheld microphone — noise-canceling, with a magnetic latch — with a 10-button keypad and backlit LCD for selecting page codes and stored messages. Up to 16 software-configurable priority levels arbitrate between simultaneous pages, and local digital signal processing conditions the microphone audio before it hits the network. A 50-minute recording pool covers all 10 stored messages, and default or custom preambles are stored locally so chimes play without network round trips. The station is powered by PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 3, 15.4 W) over a single Gigabit Ethernet connection, which carries both audio and control via AVB or Dante. It mounts on a tabletop or, with the removable foot detached, flat against a wall; a K-slot accepts an optional Kensington lock and an optional PIN restricts unauthorized use. Within a Tesira system, up to 16 paging stations and 32 paging zones are supported per configuration, and messages can be triggered from the event scheduler or logic functions. The H1100 is NRTL listed to UL 62638-1 and CSA C22.2 #62368-1, CE marked, and RoHS compliant. Combine it with masking controllers and the AVB switch from the Cambridge Sound range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What systems does the NPX H1100 work with?
It integrates with Cambridge Qt X sound masking systems and all Biamp Tesira server-class devices, paging through the same loudspeaker or emitter network.

AVB or Dante — which should I use?
The station supports both; all paging stations in a system must use the same protocol, selected during configuration. AVB requires AVB-capable switches, while Dante needs a compatible network per Audinate guidelines.

How many stations and zones can a system support?
A Tesira system supports up to 16 paging stations and 32 paging zones per configuration.

Can it play scheduled announcements?
Yes. A page code with a stored message can be recalled by the event scheduler or a logic function, playing the message automatically.

Is it suitable for emergency notification?
No. Tesira is not a life-safety system; for fire panel integration and redundancy, a dedicated life-safety paging platform is required. Request a quote from Creation Networks to scope the right solution.
