[asterisk-users] Really, really loud ringers

[Justin Sherrill]

Anyone have some recommended equipment for alerting people to calls in a noisy environment?

I have Polycom IP550 phones set up in some really noisy environments - our mine hoists - and they tend to drown out the ringers.  I'm using Clarity WR100s now.  They're analog devices, attached to Linksys PAP2T ATAs as part of a call group to get a loud (advertised as 95dB) ring out there, but it still could be louder.  Maybe a light-up option would be better.

The old phone system here had some huge loudspeakers that someone had wired right into the speakers of the old digital phones.  I haven't figured out yet if they need a different voltage, or even if they still work; they were not responding when I replaced the attached phones.
