Atlas Sound IP108-EDU-CSAnnouncement Control System

Complete IP Communication Hub for Campus Messaging Systems

The AtlasIED IP108-EDU-CS is a centralized controller engineered to serve as the core of the GLOBALCOM®.EDU mass communication system. Designed for educational institutions of all sizes, it manages the flow of announcements, bell schedules, intercom messages, and emergency alerts across IP-based endpoints. It connects with digital mic stations, IP speakers, zone controllers, amplifiers, and VoIP systems, giving schools a reliable and intelligent messaging system that can operate over existing network infrastructure.

Built-In CobraNet Audio over Ethernet for Flexible Audio Distribution

This controller includes eight channels of CobraNet® digital audio transport, allowing schools to distribute high-quality audio across their local area network (LAN) infrastructure. Whether you're delivering announcements to classrooms, paging in a gym, or broadcasting emergency instructions across a multi-building campus, the IP108-EDU-CS ensures synchronized audio delivery to every zone without needing analog wiring or complex routing.

Ready-to-Use with Pre-Installed GCK Software for Fast Setup

Each IP108-EDU-CS ships with GCK software installed, offering out-of-the-box functionality and ease of configuration through an intuitive browser-based interface. IT and AV professionals can quickly deploy, configure, and manage zones, user permissions, schedules, and system rules. It’s designed for fast implementation in educational environments where centralized control and scalable messaging systems are essential.

VoIP Paging and Emergency Integration Capabilities

This unit is fully VoIP-capable and supports integration with SIP and PBX phone systems, allowing announcements to be initiated directly from a phone interface. Additionally, the system supports contact closure, logic inputs, and IP network triggers for alerts and intercom paging. With 8 logic inputs and 8 relay outputs, this model enables integration with door systems, fire alarms, and other emergency equipment for comprehensive school safety solutions.

Message Scheduling, Priority Management, and Zone-Based Paging

The internal message scheduler enables timed delivery of bell tones, school-wide announcements, or zone-specific messages. The system supports up to 250 hours of stored audio and manages text-to-speech (TTS) messages dynamically. With up to 65,565 priority levels and NeverMISS™ assurance, the system guarantees that emergency alerts are never dropped or delayed, even during high-traffic periods.

Support for Multilingual Communication and Text-to-Speech Alerts

Built-in TTS functionality makes it easy to send announcements without pre-recorded audio files. The system supports multilingual engines, helping schools serve diverse student populations. Announcements can be delivered in different languages as needed, either manually or via automated scheduling, which is especially beneficial for institutions with bilingual or multilingual environments.

Efficient Rackmount Hardware with Low Power Draw and Extended Warranty

Built to fit standard AV/IT racks, the 1RU IP108-EDU-CS features a two-line LCD display, 64-bit Intel® Quad Core™ processor, and 24-bit audio processing at 48kHz. With support for 12VDC power and low energy consumption (36W max), this unit is ETL listed and designed for continuous operation in secure rack environments. Each unit includes a 3-year manufacturer warranty, ensuring confidence in long-term installations.
