FAQs – AXIS C1310-E Mk II Network Horn Speaker
Q1. What makes the AXIS C1310-E Mk II different from standard outdoor speakers?
The AXIS C1310-E Mk II is a fully networked IP horn speaker with a built-in amplifier, digital signal processor (DSP), and smart audio management. Unlike passive or analog speakers, it connects directly to your IP network via PoE and supports two-way audio, scheduled announcements, and integration with cameras and analytics systems.
Q2. Can this speaker integrate with existing Axis cameras or VMS systems?
Yes. The C1310-E Mk II integrates seamlessly with Axis network cameras, access control devices, and third-party VMS platforms that support SIP, ONVIF, or RTSP. It can automatically play pre-recorded or live voice messages when a camera detects motion or unauthorized access.
Q3. How loud is the AXIS C1310-E Mk II?
The speaker delivers a sound pressure level exceeding 121 dB, making it ideal for long-range voice projection in outdoor and industrial environments such as parking lots, campuses, or warehouses.
Q4. Is it suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?
Yes. The speaker is IP66/IP67 and NEMA 4X rated, MIL-STD-810G/H tested, and operates from –40 °C to +60 °C. It’s weather- and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for both coastal and industrial installations.
Q5. Does it require a separate amplifier or control box?
No. The unit has a built-in Class D amplifier and digital processor. All power and control are delivered through a single PoE connection, eliminating the need for external amplifiers.
Q6. Can I use it for public address or emergency announcements?
Absolutely. The C1310-E Mk II supports AXIS Audio Manager Edge for managing up to 200 speakers across 20 zones, perfect for paging, evacuation, or emergency broadcast systems.
Q7. What is the typical coverage area of the speaker?
The directional sound coverage is approximately 70° horizontal × 100° vertical (at 2 kHz). Depending on ambient noise, it can effectively project clear speech up to 50–100 metres in open spaces.
Q8. Can it play background music?
While primarily designed for voice messages and security alerts, it can play short audio clips or pre-recorded announcements stored locally or on the network. It’s not optimized for high-fidelity music playback.
Q9. How do I power the speaker?
The speaker is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE), requiring no separate power supply. One cable handles both network and power.
Q10. Is there a built-in microphone?
Yes. The integrated microphone supports audio feedback, remote health monitoring, and optional two-way communication when used with compatible systems.
