ATLAS POE+ Indoor Wall/Ceiling speaker w// talkback microphone

Ideal Use Cases

The AtlasIED IP-SM is an indoor wall- or ceiling-mounted PoE+ IP loudspeaker with an integrated talkback microphone. It is designed to extend tele-presence through a VoIP communication solution wherever network-wide communication is needed. Its large loudspeaker format and high-output design make it suited to large spaces and areas with high ambient noise.

The combination of network audio and talkback capability supports environments where announcements and two-way communication need to operate through the same installed loudspeaker. Its indoor mounting design provides flexibility for projects that require either wall or ceiling placement.

Why Choose This Model

The IP-SM combines an 8-inch LF driver, a 1-inch HF driver, an integrated amplifier and a microphone in a network-addressable loudspeaker. The coaxial speaker configuration is rated for a frequency response of 86Hz to 15.5kHz, 98dB SPL average sensitivity and 105° dispersion measured at the 2kHz octave band at the -6dB points.

Power ratings are specified according to the connected PoE standard: 12 watts maximum with 802.3af and 25 watts maximum with 802.3at. This allows the installer to match the available output capability to the network infrastructure used for the installation.

Installation and Integration

Network connectivity is provided through an RJ-45 connector. Static registration can be configured through an HTTP GUI, giving installers a defined method for completing static network configuration. The unit measures 14.37 inches high, 12.87 inches wide and 3.42 inches deep, equivalent to 365 x 327 x 87mm.

For ceiling installations, the product data identifies the IP-STBE as the ceiling tile support and enclosure option. The IP-STB is specified when tile support only is required. These model references help distinguish between the available ceiling installation configurations during system planning.

The integrated amplifier is listed with 15 watts of total power, while the primary speaker output is specified at 8 ohms. A powder-coated steel grille forms part of the physical construction. Shipping weight is 6.37 pounds, or 2.89kg.

Performance Highlights

The IP-SM covers frequencies from 86Hz through 15.5kHz and has an average sensitivity rating of 98dB SPL. Its 105° dispersion specification provides a concrete basis for determining loudspeaker placement and coverage during system design. The 8-inch LF and 1-inch HF configuration supports the high-output role described for large rooms and high-ambient-noise environments.

With maximum ratings of 12 watts under 802.3af and 25 watts under 802.3at, the loudspeaker can operate with either listed PoE power standard. The integrated talkback microphone adds a return communication capability to the network loudspeaker, extending its role beyond announcement-only audio.

What Makes It Different

The defining feature of the IP-SM is its integration of an indoor wall/ceiling loudspeaker and talkback microphone with VoIP-based network communication. It brings the speaker, microphone, amplification and RJ-45 network connection together in a single model intended for network-wide communication.

Its specifications are focused on demanding indoor coverage: a large coaxial speaker assembly, 98dB average sensitivity, broad 105° dispersion and output levels tied to both 802.3af and 802.3at operation. Static configuration through an HTTP GUI also gives the installer a documented network registration method.

Final Assessment

The AtlasIED IP-SM is a purpose-built choice for indoor VoIP communication systems requiring wall or ceiling placement, talkback functionality and high-output coverage. Its combination of an 8-inch LF and 1-inch HF coaxial speaker, 86Hz to 15.5kHz response, PoE power options and RJ-45 connectivity provides a clearly defined foundation for networked audio installation.
