Episode EA-COM-WP-SPL-BL Ambient Noise Sensor

Product Description

The EPISODE EA-COM-WP-SPL-BL is an ambient noise sensor designed to measure environmental sound levels in a given space. It feeds real-time audio data to a connected amplifier or audio signal processor, allowing the system to adjust output levels automatically in response to changing background noise conditions. This type of sensor is a core component in dynamic volume control setups where consistent, intelligible audio is required regardless of ambient conditions. Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage or AV integration technician as part of a broader distributed audio system.

The EA-COM-WP-SPL-BL is suited for commercial and residential applications where background noise varies throughout the day, such as restaurants, retail environments, conference rooms, lobbies, and similar spaces. It integrates with EPISODE amplifiers and audio signal processing equipment to enable automatic loudness compensation. The unit is sold individually and is compatible with systems requiring an external ambient noise sensing input.

Key Features

• Measures ambient noise levels to support automatic volume adjustment
• Designed for integration with amplifiers and audio signal processors
• Suitable for both commercial and residential distributed audio systems
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward system integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ambient noise sensor for use with EPISODE amplifiers and audio signal processing equipment that support an external noise sensor input.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV systems technician. Power down the amplifier or audio processor before connecting the sensor. Follow the equipment manufacturer wiring diagram for sensor input connections. Consult local low-voltage codes and the NEC for proper cable routing and termination requirements.
