The CM-800 is a networked audio decoder that accepts streaming audio input (raw PCM) and delivers line level audio output.  The primary purpose of the CM-800 is to provide connectivity between the Calypso Conductor IP-based paging system and standard 70v amplifiers and speakers frequently used to bring audio messaging to school common and outdoor areas.  As such, the CM-800 converts 8KHz-sampled audio to line level audio output, suitable for use as an input to standard, 3rd party amplifiers.

In addition, the CM-800 provides serial, IR, GPI and GPO (relays) to support network-based 3rd party device control.  In addition, an optional 30W amplifier module for driving speakers directly turns the CM-800 into the CM-800S, capable of driving up to four 8ohm speakers, conveniently bringing IP paging to small common areas and shared office spaces. 

When not streaming audio the CM-800 mixes, samples and plays line level audio from two inputs at 48kHz.  A unique configuration feature of the CM-800 is the ability to detect audio at the inputs and automatically stream this audio over the network.  Accordingly the unit can be used to convert a standard analog paging system into an IP-based, streaming solution.

As with most Calypso products, CM-800 and CM-800S configuration and setup is conveniently done through any standard browser connected to the CM-800 directly or over a network.
