PoE Amplifier & Speaker Configurator

To calculate the number of PoE amplifiers or speakers required for your project, enter the room dimensions, Extron PoE amplifier or speaker model, anticipated type of playback content, and allowable variance in sound level between speakers. Results can be viewed and printed by selecting the PRINT button in the Results section. The PoE Amplifier & Speaker Configurator also determines the amplifier power necessary to drive the speakers.
