2N Indoor Talk White Audio Answering Unit with HD Sound, 01699-001
Description
2N Indoor Talk Audio Answering Unit – White, PoE or 12 V DC
The 2N Indoor Talk in white (01699-001) is a wall-mounted audio answering unit that lets residents talk to visitors at a 2N IP intercom with clear, full-duplex sound. A hardened glass front with backlit touch icons handles calls, door release and do-not-disturb, and a single Ethernet cable can carry both the network connection and the power. It has no camera or screen, so it suits homes and apartments where a voice link is all that is needed.

Voice Quality for Everyday Entry Calls
The White Indoor Talk pairs a 2 W / 8 Ω speaker with an integrated microphone and supports G.711a/u, G.722, G.729 and L16/16 kHz audio. Full-duplex hands-free operation means both sides can speak at once, which keeps conversations natural when a visitor calls from the door.
Simple Glass Touch Controls
Seven capacitive buttons sit behind a hardened glass front with RGB LED backlighting, so the icons light up only when they are useful. Residents can answer a call, release the door lock and switch on do-not-disturb, and the unit signals an active call with light as well as sound.
Power and Network Options
The unit connects with a single 10/100BaseT RJ-45 cable (Cat5e or better) and can be powered by PoE 802.3af. If no PoE is available, a 12 V DC adapter (12 V / 1 A recommended) feeds the terminal block; reverse polarity protection is built in. Consumption is 12 W on either supply.
Installation
The 2N manual describes flush mounting in a 103 mm circular cut-out, 50 mm deep, at a recommended height of about 120 cm. The 2N Indoor Flush Box and the 2N Indoor Desk Stand are separate accessories. Configuration is through the built-in web interface.
