March 28, 2019, Mahwah, NJ – Today, Bogen Communications, Inc., announced the immediate availability of its IP-based, software-centric communications system optimized for commercial paging and audio distribution applications for shipment to distributors and dealers. The C4000 Series solution follows Bogen’s award-winning E7000 Series for educational markets that debuted at InfoComm 2017. Both products leverage Bogen’s Nyquist software platform that provides users with unparalleled flexibility and scalability in whatever their application. The C4000 system addresses the unique communication needs of a variety of users: business, commercial and industrial facilities, transportation hubs, healthcare, retail, hospitality, entertainment, houses of worship, and government — anywhere easy and effective communication and audio distribution are required.
The heart of the C4000 Series solution is a robust, state-of-the-art system controller with an easy to use web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that is accessible through any PC, tablet, or mobile device from any location in the connected world. The solution features a built-in, streaming Internet radio service, airable by TuneIn. Business users can also access commercially licensed, customizable music stations from SoundMachine, the premier music subscription service for business. Both services are perfect for a wide variety of background music applications. SoundMachine gives large and small retailers, restaurants, bars, or any other company looking to enhance their customer experience the ability to craft a seamless, engaging, and on-brand music experience.
Available feature-rich IP phones and purpose-built networked appliances provide convenient communication, control, and interoperability with third-party devices and systems such as access control, fire alarm, clock, and PBX systems. Available networked appliances include seven new audio power amplifiers, ranging from 1-channel x 20 Watts to 4-channel x 300 Watts, as well as a 4-channel matrix mixer/pre-amp. A versatile new 10 Watt plenum-rated intercom module with optional HDMI video output allows users to turn any speaker into an IP speaker for even greater site design flexibility.
The C4000 Series solution is extremely easy to install and use. Its web-based GUI allows people with a broad spectrum of technical proficiency to use the system. The C4000 Series solution can be scaled to support multiple, geographically dispersed facilities, encompassing a virtually unlimited number of paging and audio zones. Talkback capability is available for any areas requiring two-way communications. The solution can be easily upgraded with new features over time to address ever-changing customer environments and technology.
“The E7000 IP-based intercom system we introduced in 2017 has been a big success. Dealers and end users have been delighted with the system’s scalability, ease of use, web-based accessibility, and design flexibility,” explained Bogen’s product manager Ken Venuti. “We believe that commercial users will value the same attributes that our Nyquist platform brings to this new C4000 Series solution. The built-in SoundMachine customizable music offering, which is facilitated through airable’s API, is the best streaming service for commercial settings we’ve seen, and we are excited that they chose Bogen as a partner.”
Bogen will be conducting live demonstrations of the C4000 Series solution in Booth 6543 at InfoComm 2019 in Orlando, FL.
