We’ve long been designing compact two-way loudspeakers, and introduced our first two-way IP studio model back in 2016, but it was Power-over-Ethernet that was key to the single cable design of Smart IP.

Smart IP utilises proprietary internal power management that delivers a significantly higher SPL than was previously possible via any conventional PoE. In fact, Smart IP can produce maximum SPL whenever needed, sufficient to power small and medium sized audio systems – a world first.

The internal power supply stores power, to enable Smart IP loudspeakers to work with real audio signals, music and speech. Since audio signals are dynamic, periods of high peak power typically have finite duration while the effective average power level, or RMS power, remains much lower.
