NQ-S1810WT-G3 Nyquist Gen-3 VoIP
Wall Bae Speaker
Installation and Use Guide

NQ-S1810WT-G3
With the Nyquist Series Gen-3 VoIP Wall Bae Speaker, there is no need to manually set or adjust external am-
pliers, traditional intercom wiring, or transformer taps. Connect the speaker via a Cat 5 or higher cable to a Pow-
er-Over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or PoE injector and it’s ready to use.
The speaker features an integrated 10W power amplier, a CAN Bus interface, a MEMS microphone for superior
talkback audio, and a Form C SPDT-type 2A dry contact relay for controlling or overriding third-party devices like
audio-visual sources.
The speaker also allows DHCP deployment for easy installation. You can let your Nyquist server automatically dis-
cover and congure your speaker, or you can manually congure it through the speaker’s web-based user interface
(web UI). The web UI also allows easy updating of rmware and setting of parameters for Digital Signal Processing
(DSP). For more information about the web UI, refer to the Nyquist Gen-3 VoIP Speakers Conguration Guide.
Speaker Layout
The layout of the speakers should be planned prior to installation.
Because wall bae speakers are designed to project forward, it is best to aim them all in the same direction, as
this provides for greater coverage and clarity. You can use the building’s roof pillars or other available supports for
mounting the wall baes.
In some cases, it may be necessary to mount the wall baes on opposing walls. In these cases, the speakers will
project sound in opposing directions.
Hallway
Wall bae speakers work well with rooms and hallways that are 20’ to 60’ wide.
Layout starts at one end of the hallway or room. The rst speaker should be
installed 10’ from the end of the hallway or room. The next speaker on that wall
should be installed 20’ from the rst speaker. Each additional speaker should be
installed 20’ apart from the previous one. The rst speaker on the opposing wall
should be installed 20’ from the end of the hallway or room, thereby staggering
the speakers. Each additional speaker should be installed 20’ apart from the pre-
vious one (see Figure 1).
Rooms
In most cases, an environment, such as a classroom, requires only a single wall bae speaker to service the entire
room. The nal placement of the speaker within the room can vary, but such common area locations as at the head
of the room or near the room entrance are typically chosen (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Typical speaker position for a classroom.
Based on the speaker position that has been selected, you can choose between several mounting options, as
described below.

Speaker Installation
1. The speaker is packaged with the bae attached to the
enclosure, a grille, and two ush-mount brackets. Remove
the four screws that attach the speaker bezel to the
enclosure, then remove the cardboard insert from inside the
enclosure, as shown in Figure 3.
2. Select a mounting option from Figures 4–7 and use the
appropriate hardware for gang-box mount or wall mount.
Bogen provides the screws and washers for mounting on
a standard electrical gang box, but when mounting directly
to a wall or other surface, you must supply the appropriate
hardware for the specic wall/surface construction type
(e.g., concrete cinder block, metal beams, etc.).
NOTE: The wall mounting of the NQ-S1810WT-G3 should be conducted by trained professionals with sucient knowl-
edge and tools to t the wall-mount fasteners in a reliable way.

3. When applicable, use the pluggable CAN bus connector to
attach one or more NQ-E7020 Digital Call Switches to the
Nyquist VoIP Module 820-00071-00, as shown in Figure 8.
4. If the CAN bus is to be used, ensure the CAN_H and CAN_L
use Cat 5 10/100 twisted pair cable.
5. To connect a third-party device to the dry contact relay out-
put, do one of the following:
a. If the device is looking for a Normally Open contact, connect the device using the NO and COM terminals.
b. If the device is looking for a Normally Closed contact, connect the device using the NC and COM terminals.

NOTE: Use of relay contacts is optional and only recommended for connection to 12V/24V circuits, not for
120/240VAC mains circuits.
6. Use Cat 5 or higher Ethernet cable to connect the speaker. The power is supplied by PoE using an 802.3af–com-
pliant network switch or PoE injector.
7. Reattach the bae to the enclosure with the four screws
provided, then press t the grille into the bae as shown in
Figure9.
Using the Reset Button
The Reset button (Figure 10) allows you to either reboot the VoIP
speaker or reset the appliance’s conguration settings to the facto-
ry default settings.
NOTE: Refer to the Nyquist VoIP Speaker Conguration Guide or the
Nyquist System Administrator Guide for detailed instructions on
how to congure these speakers.
