Product SKU: C7050-02723-006
Product Overview
The AXIS Audio Manager Pro C7050 Mk III is a dedicated network audio server with AXIS Audio Manager Pro pre-installed for central management of large IP audio installations. It supports configuration of up to 5,000 audio devices across 100 zones, allowing administrators to organise devices, audio sources, schedules and zone-specific content from one interface. The system can handle live and scheduled announcements, emergency messages, background music and internet radio, with audio directed to individual zones or distributed more broadly across the site. Hardware includes an Intel Core i3-12100T processor, 256 GB SSD operating-system drive and 16 GB RAM in current production units, with Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 pre-installed. SIP, IP-PBX connectivity, two-way communication, advanced scheduling and real-time configuration make it suitable for large multi-zone network audio deployments.
Key Capabilities
Up to 5,000 Audio Devices
AXIS Audio Manager Pro supports configuration of up to 5,000 audio devices, giving large organisations a central platform for managing extensive network audio installations without having to administer each speaker or audio endpoint independently.
100-Zone Audio Management
Audio devices can be organised into as many as 100 zones. This allows announcements, music and other content to be targeted to selected areas while still giving administrators the option to communicate across the wider installation when required.
Live and Scheduled Audio
The platform supports live announcements, scheduled announcements, emergency messages and background music. Advanced scheduling helps automate routine audio without preventing authorised users from making live communications when operational needs change.
SIP and IP-PBX Integration
Session Initiation Protocol support allows connectivity to IP-PBX servers through SIP trunk or peer-to-peer operation. Two-way communication is also supported, helping integrate compatible network audio devices with wider voice and communications infrastructure.
Purpose-Built Server Hardware
The C7050 Mk III combines an Intel Core i3-12100T processor, 256 GB SSD operating-system drive and 16 GB RAM in current production units with AXIS Audio Manager Pro already installed, reducing the need to source and configure a separate server platform.
Real-Time Central Configuration
Administrators can manage devices, zones, schedules and audio content from a central interface, with real-time configuration designed to avoid unnecessary system downtime when operational audio settings need to be changed.
Best For
- Large multi-zone facilities: Suitable where many network audio devices need to be divided into separately managed operational areas.
- Commercial and retail environments: Useful for centrally scheduling background music, routine announcements and live messages across different zones.
- Campuses and multi-building sites: The 5,000-device and 100-zone capacity supports distributed audio systems requiring central administration.
- Sites using SIP communications: IP-PBX and peer-to-peer SIP support can integrate supported audio endpoints with compatible communications infrastructure.
- Facilities requiring scheduled messaging: Advanced scheduling is suited to recurring announcements, timed audio content and background music.
Why Choose the AXIS Audio Manager Pro C7050 Mk III
The C7050 Mk III is designed for organisations that need more than simple playback to a small group of network speakers. It combines the AXIS Audio Manager Pro software and dedicated server hardware into one appliance capable of managing thousands of audio devices, extensive zone structures, scheduled content, live announcements and SIP-based communications. The ability to administer up to 100 zones is particularly useful when different parts of a site require independent audio schedules while still remaining under central control. Supplied through Security Wholesalers, the C7050 Mk III is a practical choice where the project calls for a dedicated network audio management platform rather than building and maintaining the software environment on a separate server.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm device support before designing a large deployment. AXIS Audio Manager Pro supports specific Axis network audio products and the 2N SIP Mic, so the 5,000-device capacity should not be interpreted as compatibility with any arbitrary IP speaker or network audio endpoint.
Buyer Tip: Current C7050 Mk III units are specified with 16 GB RAM, but Axis notes that units produced before 1 September 2024 were supplied with 8 GB. If memory capacity is important for existing or older stock, confirm the manufacturing version before purchase.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the C7050 Mk III if: You need a dedicated appliance with AXIS Audio Manager Pro pre-installed for a large network audio system with central scheduling, zone control and support for thousands of supported audio devices.
- Consider a smaller audio management approach if: The installation contains only a limited number of audio devices and does not require extensive multi-zone control or large-scale central scheduling.
- Confirm compatibility first if: The project includes non-Axis audio equipment or other devices not specifically listed as supported by AXIS Audio Manager Pro.
