The IPCSD1 is a digital microphone station with push-to-talk switch designed to operate within a GLOBALCOM®.IP system. It is a network device with a unique IP address that does not require configuration. The IPCSD1 uses a single Ethernet interface for audio and control data. The IPCSD1 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the microphone station to be powered directly from any standard PoE switch available on the market.

The IPCSD1 uses Dante™ technology to transport high-quality, low-latency digital audio over Ethernet. The IPCSD1 microphone station can be used for emergency evacuation and life safety systems. In a dual-use system, however, these microphone stations can be used for everyday paging functions.

It is compatible with ACS™ IP108-D or IP116-D controllers with Dante™ capability.
