I've been in the low voltage industry for my entire career in sales management / consulting / business development roles. I currently head up Axis network audio initiative in the US. Many know Axis as the first company to offer IP cameras. Sales are north of $1B and we are part of the Cannon Corporation.

But many are unaware that we offer a complete portfolio of complimentary solutions such as Network audio. So what differentiates Axis audio from the thousands of other speaker manufacturers you ask?

All of our speakers are PoE (nothing revolutionary there) BUT what is unique is that each speaker comes with built in, license free, configuration software. PoE switch to our speaker and you have a complete system.

Axis Audio Manger Edge software allows you to;

Configure 200 speakers (up to 20 zones), Store prerecorded messages, weekly scheduling to play those messages or change content sources, built in microphone for two way conversations, LED's that can be activated based on specific events, 4 levels of priority, DSP, health monitoring, PoE powered, two way communications and more. We even have A/D converters providing network capability to legacy analog gear.

Larger more complex projects requiring up to 5,00 speakers and 100+ zones can be handled by Axis Audio Manager Pro. A server or e-license browser based solution. More information can be found here: https://www.axis.com/products/network-audio
