Why Use It?
Communication that Keeps Pace with Your Operation
Industrial facilities are among the most acoustically challenging environments in AV — ambient noise levels that overwhelm typical systems, sprawling footprints, compliance requirements, and workers who can't afford to miss a critical message.
Cut through ambient noise: Warehouse and production floors routinely exceed 85 dB. Biamp community loudspeakers are purpose-built for high-noise industrial environments, engineered to maintain clear, intelligible speech where conventional systems fail completely.
Meet life-safety requirements: Vocia voice communication notification systems are designed and tested for compliance with EN 54-16, giving facility managers confidence in auditable, code-compliant deployments.
Page the right zone instantly: Shift supervisors and safety leads need to reach specific areas — not trigger a facility-wide announcement. Zoned paging keeps communication targeted and reduces operational disruption.
Connect floor and office: From huddle rooms on the production floor to executive conference rooms in the adjacent HQ building, a unified Tesira or Vocia backbone connects every space under one managed infrastructure.
What Is It?
A Complete Audio Solution – from Loading Dock to Boardroom
Biamp manufacturing and warehousing solutions include mass paging, background and foreground audio, convenience paging, and conferencing integrated into a single coherent system — centrally managed, fault-tolerant, and scalable from a single facility to a multi-site global operation.
How It Works
Built for Every Zone in Your Facility
High Ambient Noise - Large Area: High-output loudspeakers, including horn-loaded models, deliver clear, intelligible speech even in the most demanding high-noise environments. Vocia provides life-safety paging and integrates with fire alarm control panels for automated emergency messaging.
Outdoor - Weather-exposed: IP66-rated Community outdoor horns and column speakers for perimeter and dock coverage. Weatherproof Vocia paging endpoints ensure dock supervisors receive safety alerts regardless of outdoor conditions.
Transitional spaces: Background music and all-call paging via Tesira or Vocia with ceiling-mounted Desono or Commercial Audio loudspeakers. Keeps workers informed during downtime without sacrificing speech intelligibility.
Meeting and Training Rooms: Tesira with Parlé microphones and Biamp Workplace conferencing for hybrid meetings. Connects facility managers with corporate HQ in full-quality audio. EasyConnect for simple USB-C rooms adjacent to the plant floor.
Supervisory - Always-on: Central paging control via Vocia WS-1 or software paging interfaces. Supervisors can address individual zones, groups, or all zones simultaneously. Automatic trigger inputs from safety systems and PLCs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vocia is Biamp's network-based, end-to-end Voice Communication System (VCS). It is designed for facilities requiring reliable paging, background music, and emergency communications. Vocia is the industry's gold standard for superior reliability, unparalleled scalability, and exceptional audio quality.
Vocia supports live paging, recorded message playback, scheduled announcements, background music, VoIP connectivity, emergency communications, fire panel integration, and text-based communications.
Yes. Vocia connects directly to emergency alarm systems and fire panels to provide safety instructions. It supports emergency zone configuration and complies with international safety standards.
The extended coverage design of the CCA-80 means significantly fewer loudspeakers are needed compared to conventional solutions — reducing total system cost by more than 50% compared to existing premium alternatives.
The CCA-80 is purpose-built for long, high-ceilinged industrial spaces such as warehouses and distribution centers. Its asymmetric, triaxial waveguide design features a unique 6:1 throw ratio, meaning it delivers consistent, uniform sound coverage across a distance up to six times the mounting height — and can be installed in ceilings up to 36 feet high.
Cambridge Qt X is the industry's most flexible sound masking solution, designed to reduce noise distractions, increase speech privacy, and improve workplace comfort in exactly these environments. In addition, the same Qt X system can also support background music and paging when integrated with a Biamp NPX paging station — so your front-office team benefits from a quiet, focused environment while still receiving important facility-wide announcements when needed.
Yes. NPX paging stations integrate seamlessly with the Cambridge Qt X sound masking platform, giving you a single unified system for both sound masking and paging. When a page is triggered, Qt X automatically ensures it's heard clearly over the masking signal — with up to 20 dB of additional paging gain for maximum speech intelligibility, even in noisy environments.
