Subject:</b> [asterisk-users] Paging unit suggestions</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">We currently have an Asterisk system that
is hooked up to our old paging speakers via sound card, plugged into two
amps.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Each amp drives up to 8 analog speakers in
each warehouse (we have 2). Both warehouses are around 30k square
feet. Both have a large number of printing presses.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">The computer system is that is running Asterisk
is around 10 years old and starting to fail. I'm looking to replace
both the system and hopefully move to a IP paging system, but wanted to
reuse the current speakers.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">I'm looking for suggestions on a IP based
amp or similar that could drive the current speakers? I was envisioning
a unit that would register as a SIP extension then would handle auto-answer
that I could send a sound file to.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Thanks for any help!</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">This may be insane, but it
seems from what I read that you could replace most 10 year old boxes with
a $35 Raspberry Pi. That not being the case, the speakers could probably
be adapted to work off of any SIP phone headset/handset.</font><tt><font size=2>--<br>
