- Rated output printed in two different ways in the source — confirmed on the quotation
Ceiling coverage for indoor zones
The A201 is the indoor coverage model of the range: it mounts in the ceiling and is addressed as part of a zone, so announcements can go to one area or to many.
- Up to 20 multicast zones
- Real-time broadcasting and MP3 broadcast, triggered from an IP phone
- Offline timed broadcast, so a scheduled announcement plays even with no live call
- Two-way voice call through the built-in microphone
- G.722 and Opus audio
The wattage question, handled honestly
The source material is not consistent about the rated output of this model. The English deck prints both 30 W and 10 W in the same block, and the Chinese deck assigns 10 W to the A201 and 30 W to the horn speaker model.
- English source: two figures printed in the same block — 30 W and 10 W
- Chinese source: 10 W for the A201, 30 W for the horn speaker model
- We do not assert a single figure for this model
- Confirm the rated output you need on the quotation
Powering the speaker is clearer than the wattage: PoE, PoE+ and DC are all stated for this model.
What the source does not state
- Protection rating (IP) — not stated for this model
- Impedance — not stated for this model
- PoE class — not stated for this model
- Dimensions, weight and colour — not stated in the source materials
Mounting is stated: this is the ceiling speaker of the range.
Where it fits on site
Corridors and waiting areas
Even indoor coverage, addressed by zone, for routine announcements and scheduled broadcasts.
Room where staff must be able to answer
The built-in microphone supports a two-way voice call from the same ceiling unit.
Scheduled announcements
Offline timed broadcast plays the announcement without a live call, which suits daily routines.

iSpecifications are taken from the public-address and intercom material and its comparison table. The rated output is printed differently in the sources (30 W and 10 W in one block, 10 W in the other), so no single figure is asserted here. IP rating, impedance, PoE class, dimensions and weight are not stated.

Compatibility boundaries
This model uses standard SIP and the interfaces listed in the specification table. Confirm the PBX, SIP provider or platform against those interface notes before the order; where the documentation does not state a value, the table records it as not stated rather than estimating. PoE, analog port variants, power options and card compatibility are fixed at order time.
Handover, spares and support
Extension plan, provisioning and interface language can be prepared before dispatch. Remote support continues after handover. Spare-part, warranty and service terms are confirmed in the quotation for the models and quantity ordered, so they are not printed as a single figure here.
