Why Choose Merlaud IP Column Speaker MIP-CA10?

Column speakers exist to solve one problem: rooms that echo. The MIP-CA10’s narrow, high-directivity design focuses sound down a hall or across rows of seating instead of bouncing it off hard walls and high ceilings, keeping announcements and recitations intelligible in spaces where a standard box speaker would blur into echo.

Because it shares the same network audio and amplifier design as Merlaud’s other IP speakers, it pairs directly with an MIP-DARS console or MIP-TERS8 terminal, so a mosque, hall, or corridor can be added to an existing paging system without new control hardware.

Real-world performance note: Bangladesh’s mosques, prayer halls, and multipurpose community spaces are frequently large, tiled, or high-ceilinged rooms with significant natural reverberation. The MIP-CA10’s rigid aluminium construction resists the vibration and rattling that can develop in humid, high-use environments, while its directional sound pattern keeps speech clear even in these naturally echo-heavy spaces.

Who Should Buy Merlaud IP Column Speaker MIP-CA10?

• Mosque committees and imams needing clear, echo-free recitation and announcement sound in prayer halls.
• Facility managers at conference halls, auditoriums, or banquet rooms with high ceilings and hard, reflective surfaces.
• Educational institutions with large assembly halls or corridors needing focused, directional paging sound.
• System integrators pairing column speakers with an existing MIP-DARS or MIP-TERS8 setup.
• Not recommended for: small, low-echo rooms, where the simpler MIP-EA15 box speaker is a better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Merlaud MIP-CA10 installed and controlled?

MIP-CA10 mounts using its included tilting bracket on a wall or ceiling, and connects to your network via standard cable, with optional PoE for combined power and data, or a 12-24VDC supply. It pairs directly with a Merlaud MIP-DARS console or MIP-TERS8 terminal.

Why choose a column speaker over a regular box speaker?

Column speakers focus sound in a narrow, directional pattern rather than spreading it widely, which reduces the echo and blurring that a standard box speaker can cause in tiled halls, mosques, or high-ceilinged rooms with hard, reflective surfaces.

Does the MIP-CA10 need a separate amplifier?

Yes. Its built-in 2x20W 8-ohm amplifier drives one external sub-speaker directly, so a separate standalone amplifier is not needed for a straightforward single-zone column speaker installation in most halls or rooms.

Give reverberant halls and prayer spaces the clear, directional sound they need, without echo blurring every announcement. The Merlaud IP Column Speaker MIP-CA10 pairs directly with your existing Merlaud paging system. Order the MIP-CA10 today.
