TOA IP-A1PC238 IP Ceiling Speaker 8W | PoE, SIP, ONVIF
Product Overview
The TOA IP-A1PC238 is a PoE-powered IP ceiling speaker with a built-in 8W amplifier for networked audio distribution in commercial and institutional facilities. It supports SIP protocol, ONVIF audio reception, and 20 multicast group ports for zone paging, background music, and emergency broadcasts over standard IP networks. DEAL: On Sale.
Product Description
The IP-A1PC238 installs in standard ceiling openings using a 16 cm (6-inch) cone driver and is powered entirely via PoE — no separate amplifier or power supply is needed. It stores up to 20 audio files (80 MB total, WAV or MP3 format) for local scheduled playback with repeat and weekly timer programs. Two control inputs and one control output provide integration with external triggers or devices. HTTP API (receive only) enables remote command from facility management systems. The unit accepts SIP audio for direct VoIP paging and ONVIF audio from compatible video management systems. For complete IP audio systems, browse TOA IP speakers at Creation Networks.

Typical Applications
The TOA IP-A1PC238 suits facilities deploying networked audio over existing IP infrastructure: corporate offices and campuses using VoIP paging, schools and universities requiring scheduled announcements and emergency broadcasts, healthcare facilities integrating audio alerts with nurse call or access control systems, hotels and hospitality venues with distributed background music and PA, and retail chains deploying centrally managed multi-site audio. Its PoE design makes it cost-effective for large-scale ceiling speaker deployments without dedicated amplifier racks.

FAQ
- Does the IP-A1PC238 require a separate amplifier? No — the built-in 8W amplifier is powered by PoE over a single CAT5/6 network cable.
- What network protocols does it support? SIP for VoIP paging, ONVIF audio from video management systems, and up to 20 multicast group addresses for zone distribution.
- Can it play locally stored audio? Yes — up to 20 audio files (80 MB total, WAV or MP3) can be stored on the unit for repeat or weekly scheduled playback.
- How is it controlled remotely? Via HTTP API commands (receive), allowing integration with facility management platforms, schedulers, or control systems.
- Is it compatible with TOA's VM Series amplifiers? The IP-A1PC238 is an IP-based speaker — it connects over network infrastructure rather than to traditional TOA mixer/amplifier outputs. It complements, rather than replaces, traditional TOA PA systems in hybrid IP + conventional deployments.
