With the Nyquist Series Gen-3 VoIP Wall Bae Speaker, there is no need to manually set or adjust external am-
pliers, 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 amplier, 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
The speaker also allows DHCP deployment for easy installation. You can let your Nyquist server automatically dis-
cover and congure your speaker, or you can manually congure 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 Conguration Guide.
The layout of the speakers should be planned prior to installation.
Because wall bae 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
In some cases, it may be necessary to mount the wall baes on opposing walls. In these cases, the speakers will
project sound in opposing directions.
Wall bae 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).
In most cases, an environment, such as a classroom, requires only a single wall bae 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).

Based on the speaker position that has been selected, you can choose between several mounting options, as
