Audio Authority® Intercom Systems are the industry-leading solution for drive-up customer service at banks, pharmacies, and other transaction-based facilities for clear, private, and easy-to-use communication.
1500 Series III intercoms are the culmination of extensive research and decades of incremental improvements, resulting in the best hardware and software solutions for voice and visual communications.
Historically, drive-up intercom systems have been difficult to install and adjust in the field, often requiring multiple runs of expensive wiring, making retrofits difficult or impractical. 1500 Series components connect to each other using just one Cat 6 cable that carries all audio, video, and control signals. Installations are quick, simple, and reliable.
The counter station’s rugged, easy-to-clean, touch-sensitive keypad will never wear out because it has no moving parts. It is easily configured for exact system capacity, using the versatile key color or number system so that only the keys needed for lane selection and system control are visible and active.
Easy system configuration and setup ensure years of trouble-free operation. Settings for the whole system may be adjusted from one of the counter stations. Expanding the system to add more counter stations or lane station endpoints is quick and easy. Download the latest Series 1500 Brochure 3.28 MiB today.

Fine-tune the audio gain and filters, choose lane keys, and modify hold behavior using the Model 1550A setup tool. It gives the installer easy access and keeps others from modifying them.
