How much does a commercial paging system cost?+
Small office (10-15 speakers, 1 zone): $3-8k installed. Warehouse (30-60 speakers, 4-6 zones with horns and strobes): $15-40k. Multi-building campus with mass notification: $50k+. IP-based systems trend higher on head-end cost but lower on install labor for zone expansion.
Can I page from my desk phone?+
Yes — any SIP-based IP paging system lets authorized users dial a zone from any registered phone or softphone. Legacy analog systems require a dedicated paging phone or interface.
Do you handle warehouse paging with high ambient noise?+
Yes — high-output horn speakers, visual strobes at ADA intervals, and PA equalization for speech intelligibility above forklift and conveyor noise. We measure ambient with an SPL meter and design to a target STI.
Can paging integrate with our fire alarm?+
Yes — voice evacuation compliant with NFPA 72, coordinated with the fire-protection engineer and AHJ. Distinct signals for evacuation, shelter-in-place, and all-clear.
Can you retrofit IP paging onto our existing analog system?+
Yes — an IP head-end (Algo 8301, Valcom V-9964) can drive an existing 70V speaker plant so you gain SIP control without rewiring every speaker.
