AIP-1020 | High-Power IP Amplifier (20W + 20W)

The heavy-duty heart of your IP audio zones, delivering robust amplification to any passive speaker system over your network.

The AIP-1020 is a professional-grade IP amplifier designed to bring high-output audio to traditional passive speakers via an Ethernet connection. Acting as a bridge between the digital network and high-fidelity analog sound, it features a built-in Class D amplifier capable of driving two channels. It is the ideal solution for upgrading existing speaker installations to a modern IP-based infrastructure without the need to replace your high-quality passive loudspeakers.

Key Features

Dual-Channel Power: Integrated Class D amplifier providing 20W + 20W RMS (at 8Ω), perfect for driving pairs of ceiling, wall, or outdoor speakers.

Network-Native Performance: Receives audio streams (MP3, WAV, HTTP) directly over the LAN/WAN via the Fonestar AIP ecosystem.

Local Input/Output: Includes a local auxiliary audio input and a line output for cascading to additional amplifiers or local recording.

Event-Triggered Logic: Equipped with 2 isolated inputs for emergency contact closures and 2 relay outputs for controlling external equipment like lights or sirens.

Reliable Fail-Safe: Features an SD/MMC slot for local audio playback, ensuring that your background music or critical messages continue even if the network fails.

Why Choose the AIP-1020?

Retrofit Excellence

Do you already have a building full of high-quality passive speakers? The AIP-1020 allows you to keep your existing hardware while gaining all the benefits of an IP system—including central management, scheduling, and zone control—simply by installing the amplifier at the end of the network line.

Localized Control & Redundancy

While it is primarily a network device, the AIP-1020 is smart enough to handle local needs. Use the auxiliary input for a local TV or microphone, and rely on the SD card slot to provide a pre-programmed backup playlist if the internet connection drops.

Industrial Logic Integration

The AIP-1020 is more than just an amp; it's a controller. Connect it to a fire alarm system to automatically mute music during an emergency, or use the relays to power on external hardware whenever an audio stream is detected.
