Algo distance limitations between speakers
Sceario Question: Customer who would like to use 1 x Algo 8198 and 3 x Algo 1198 Satellite speakers with the distance between the speakers being 60m from the first speaker to the last. Does using a POE+ injector or POE++ switch help to increase the distance?
Answer from Algo:
The recommend distance between the first and last speaker in the cluster is 150ft (about 45 meters). This is to preserve volume output and the loss is minimal up to 150ft.
Extending up to 180ft (about 60m), although not recommended, shouldn’t cause any problems. Just note that there will be some minimal volume loss.
Unfortunately, using a PoE++ switch does not change this situation. Regarding a PoE injector between the satellites, that is not supported and may in fact cause unexpected issues.
