Merlaud MIP-CA20 IP Column Speaker | 36W

Description

Merlaud 36W IP Column Speaker MIP-CA20 is a rigid, extruded-aluminium network speaker built for high-directivity sound in large reverberant halls and auditoriums across Bangladesh. Its longer 600mm aluminium body and grille resist vibration, and a built-in 2x20W 8-ohm amplifier drives one sub-speaker directly, giving greater output and reach than Merlaud’s smaller MIP-CA10.

Key Features of Merlaud 36W IP Column Speaker MIP-CA20

• Extruded rigid aluminium body and grille: No-vibration construction for stable, consistent sound in demanding environments.
• Tilting mounting bracket: Simplifies wall or ceiling installation and angle adjustment.
• High directivity design: Focuses sound for clear intelligibility across large reverberant halls and rooms.
• Active speaker with built-in network audio source: Decodes and plays network audio directly, with no separate media player needed.
• Built-in 2x20W 8-ohm amplifier: Drives one external 8-ohm sub-speaker directly, with no separate amplifier required.
• Works directly with MIP-DARS and MIP-TERS8: Receives network announcements from a Merlaud desk console or paging terminal without extra setup.
• USB port for playback and firmware upgrades: Plays music from USB storage and simplifies future firmware updates.
• Nominal power 36W, frequency response 150-20,000Hz: Delivers greater output and reach than the smaller MIP-CA10 for larger venues.
• Wide 12-24VDC power supply with optional PoE: Flexible powering options simplify installation alongside existing network devices.

Why Choose Merlaud 36W IP Column Speaker MIP-CA20?

Larger halls, auditoriums, and multi-story stairwells need more than directivity alone; they need enough output to reach the back row or the top floor clearly. The MIP-CA20’s 36W nominal power and longer 600mm column give it greater throw distance than the smaller MIP-CA10, while keeping the same focused, echo-resistant sound pattern.

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 large-venue zones fit into an existing paging system without new control hardware.

Real-world performance note: Bangladesh’s larger mosques, auditoriums, and multi-story institutional buildings often have taller ceilings and longer throw distances than a standard room, along with the same humidity and reverberation challenges. The MIP-CA20’s rigid aluminium construction and higher output are built to project clearly across these larger, more demanding spaces without adding extra speakers per zone.

Who Should Buy Merlaud 36W IP Column Speaker MIP-CA20?

• Mosque committees and hall administrators needing higher-output coverage in large prayer halls or auditoriums.
• Facility managers at conference centers, university halls, or multi-story stairwells needing longer throw distance than a standard column speaker.
• Event venues and banquet halls with high ceilings and large floor areas.
• System integrators upgrading a smaller MIP-CA10 deployment to cover larger zones with fewer speakers.
• Not recommended for: smaller rooms or offices, where the more compact MIP-CA10 is a better economic fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Merlaud MIP-CA20 installed and controlled?

The MIP-CA20 mounts using its 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.

What is the difference between the MIP-CA20 and the MIP-CA10?

MIP-CA20 offers 36W of nominal power in a longer 600mm column, compared to the MIP-CA10’s 18W and 330mm body, giving it greater output and throw distance for larger halls, auditoriums, or multi-story spaces.

Does the MIP-CA20 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 single-zone column speaker installation, even at the MIP-CA20’s higher output level.

Cover large halls and auditoriums with clear, directional sound that reaches the back row, without echo blurring the message. The Merlaud 36W IP Column Speaker MIP-CA20 pairs directly with your existing Merlaud paging system. Order the MIP-CA20 today.
