INSTRUCTION MANUAL
iPX5151
Ethernet Paging Client
Thank you for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics.
iPX5151 is an Ethernet Paging Client which receives and transmits paging audio and RS485 data from digital paging microphone,
which is then fed to a receiving paging client via Ethernet connection. The receiving client can then broadcast the audio via PA mixer
for amplification.
iPX5151 is now refreshed with newer technology for Ultra Low Latency audio transmission, thus reducing the delay in sound delivery.
Parameter settings are done using web browser, connected directly to the unit for channel setup, bass and treble controls, volume, etc.
VER 4 / 2021Applicable for Version 2.17 and above
