AtlasIED Introduces the Industry’s First IP-enabled Pendent Endpoint at InfoComm 2019
Orlando, FL (
Enabling an inconspicuous installation in open ceiling environments, the IP-PM8GD IPX pendent endpoint can be used anywhere within a building for consistent sound and audio broadcasting of network-based communications. Hailed as the audiovisual industry’s 
first IP- enabled pendent endpoint, the IP-PM8GD is engineered for such applications as restaurants, churches, malls, retail stores, fitness centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and anywhere else that high or open ceilings require large quantities of speakers for smooth, even coverage.
The IP-PM8GD registers as a communication endpoint directly within InformaCast, Revolution, and GCK Advanced Notification applications, to support audio broadcast while enhancing physical security. Like other endpoints in the AtlasIED IPX line, the IP-PM8GD pendent loudspeaker supports advanced alerting, bell schedules, pre-recorded announcements, all across WAN/LAN Network Architecture. Where third party notification applications are not required, the IP-PM8GD speakers can register as SIP devices directly to a SIP server or VoIP Communications Manager for critical alerts /public address applications.
Easy to install, even in open beam ceilings, the pendent attaches to overhead surfaces via either a 3-meter cable kit or any ¼-inch ceiling fan installation kit for down-pipe installation. Either installation solution is discreetly implemented using AtlasIED’s PM Series top cover design, which includes a cable access plug that is easily removed for down-pipe mounting. The cover also completely conceals the speaker cable terminations and suspension anchor points for a seamless, clean installation every time.
The latest endpoint in the IPX Series adds unprecedented flexibility to the line. “As the next evolution of the IP endpoint category, the IPX family of products from AtlasIED delivers modern styling, superior audio quality, and flexibility,” Alex Puorro, AtlasIED Vice President of IP Endpoint Development, says. “Meeting the increasing demand for high-quality sound, audio over IP technology, and aesthetically pleasing solutions in a wide range of commercial applications, our new IP-PM8GD endpoint is easy to specify and simple to install, offering rock-solid functionality in virtually any commercial integration project.”
