With PoE power delivery, the VIP-130AL minimizes cabling complexity and simplifies deployment, whether you’re building a new paging system from scratch or expanding an existing SIP‑based paging infrastructure. The marine (white) variant is engineered to blend with outdoor and coastal environments while preserving professional sound quality for announcements, alarms, and emergency messages. Whether used as a standalone device in a SIP-ready environment or integrated into a broader Valcom paging ecosystem, this IP horn provides a trusted, future‑proof solution for real‑time, one‑way voice distribution across IP networks.

• Powerful, high‑efficiency one‑way paging horn with a built‑in network interface; optimized for clear, intelligible voice announcements over IP networks. The VIP-130AL delivers crisp vocal reproduction with consistent loudness across a wide coverage area, making it ideal for general paging, emergency alerts, and timed announcements in dynamic environments. Its design emphasizes reliability and simplicity, allowing administrators to deploy effective paging quickly while maintaining strong sound quality even in challenging acoustic spaces.
• IP network integration with PoE power simplifies installation and reduces wiring. The VIP-130AL supports standard IP paging workflows, enabling seamless control from SIP telephone systems or centralized Valcom control platforms. This flexibility allows you to route announcements from desks, control rooms, or centralized paging servers, and to trigger zones or groups with precise timing—enhancing coordination during daily operations and critical events alike.
• Marine‑ready appearance in a clean white finish with robust construction for outdoor and coastal environments. The marine (White) enclosure provides a professional, weather‑conscious look while guarding sensitive electronics against environmental exposure. This makes the VIP-130AL suitable for deployment on docks, marinas, outdoor walkways, or other locations where durable performance and visibility are essential, without compromising audio quality or reliability.
• Flexible deployment with SIP compatibility and broad access across Valcom products. The VIP-130AL can function as a stand‑alone paging horn when connected to a SIP system, or it can be accessed and managed from a variety of Valcom devices and controllers. This flexibility supports multi‑zone paging strategies, alert broadcasting to specific areas, and scalable growth as your communication needs expand, all while preserving consistent sound levels and intelligibility.
• Easy management, maintenance, and scalable upgrades. The PoE design reduces power and wiring costs, while centralized configuration and monitoring enable straightforward maintenance. Administrators can push firmware updates, adjust paging levels, and modify alert schedules from existing network management workflows, ensuring your paging system remains current and reliable with minimal downtime.

How to install Valcom IP Horn, One-Way High Efficiency Horn, Marine (White)

• Plan placement and coverage: Identify mounting locations that achieve the desired coverage area while considering line‑of‑sight and ambient noise levels. Ensure there is enough clearance for the horn to project sound without obstructions, and select a mounting surface that can support the unit’s weight and intended orientation.
• Prepare network and power: Connect the VIP-130AL to a PoE-enabled network switch or PoE injector. Verify that the network port is configured for IP paging control and that firewall settings permit SIP/RTSP/AC routing as required by your system. Have your SIP or Valcom control credentials ready for configuration.
• Configure the device: Access the VIP-130AL through your IP management interface or SIP server as directed by the user manual. Assign the device to the appropriate paging zones or groups, set voice prompts or tones if supported, and configure alert behavior, volume levels, and any scheduling parameters relevant to your environment.
• Mount and connect: Securely mount the horn in the chosen location using appropriate hardware. Route cables through weather‑resistant conduits as needed, sealing all entry points to protect against moisture and dust. Attach the network and power connections, then verify steady power and link status on the device indicator LEDs.
• Test and optimize: Perform a test page to confirm intelligibility and coverage. Adjust horn angle, mounting height, and volume to achieve the desired loudness and clarity. Validate interoperability with SIP systems and other Valcom devices, and document the configuration for future maintenance or expansion.
