Plenum-Rated IP Audio Speaker Interface

Barix IP Former TPA400 is a professional IP audio decoder and amplifier designed to convert any compatible loudspeaker into a fully networked IP speaker. With a UL 2043 plenum rating, it is suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, making it ideal for commercial buildings, schools, and enterprise environments.

Simple Upgrade for Existing Speaker Systems

The device can be attached directly to existing loudspeakers, allowing integrators to upgrade traditional analog systems into IP-based audio networks without replacing the entire speaker infrastructure. This makes it a cost-effective solution for system modernization.

PoE-Powered Installation Simplicity

Powered via IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet, the IP Former eliminates the need for local power supplies. This significantly reduces installation complexity and makes deployment as simple as installing a standard IP endpoint.

Integrated Amplification & Audio Streaming

With a built-in 5W RMS amplifier, the device directly drives loudspeakers and supports streaming audio from radio stations, paging systems, SIP calls, and live announcements. It is suitable for background music, emergency alerts, and public address systems.

Enterprise Communication Compatibility

Supports integration with leading IP communication systems, including InformaCast and Syn-Apps Revolution, enabling scalable deployment in corporate and institutional environments.

Flexible Audio Processing Platform

The system supports multiple audio formats such as MP3, AAC-HE, PCM, Opus, G.711, G.722, GSM, WAV, and OGG Vorbis, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of streaming and communication sources.
