MAHWAH, New Jersey (January 15, 2026) – Bogen Communications LLC, a longstanding leader in commercial audio and voice communications technology, announces new Nyquist peripherals, including the Nyquist Zone Paging Microphone Station, a VoIP double-sided LED message display and flasher, a digital remote volume-control call switch and an indoor/outdoor IP horn with talkback. Each device integrates directly into the Nyquist ecosystem and is intended to support higher zone counts, distributed control points and reliable operation in demanding settings.
“The new Nyquist peripherals extend system functionality beyond traditional paging endpoints,” said Randall Lee, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Bogen Communications LLC. “Each device expands system control, visual messaging, user interaction and audio coverage for education, transportation and large commercial environments, addressing real-world needs for scalable control, visible messaging and dependable audio.”
The Nyquist Zone Paging Microphone Station, NQ-ZPMS-G2, is designed for high-zone count paging applications, such as schools, transportation hubs and large facilities. Featuring a ten-inch color touchscreen and 116 programmable one-touch DSS keys, the NQ-ZPMS-G2 provides rapid access to paging zones, announcements, audio distributions, routines, tones and bell schedules. The NQ-ZPMS-G2 features a flexible gooseneck microphone and HD audio using a G.722 wideband codec, supporting clear communication in busy paging environments. Built on the Android 9.0 operating system, the NQ-ZPMS-G2 provides stable operation and long-term system compatibility.
The Nyquist VoIP Double-Sided LED Message Display and Flasher, NQ-DSC01, is an indoor wall- or ceiling-mounted device designed for visual and audio communication in educational and commercial facilities. The DSC01 features a dual-sided, multi-color LED display, integrated flasher and dual loudspeakers. It supports Nyquist-generated text messages in single- or dual-line formats, static or scrolling display modes and customizable colors at the character level. When paired with optional call switch accessories, the device can initiate SIP calls with other Nyquist endpoints or compatible third-party SIP devices.
The Nyquist Digital Remote Volume-Control Call Switch, NQ-VCTRL, adds localized audio control to Nyquist systems. Designed for single-gang wall mounting, the NQ-VCTRL allows users to adjust volume, mute audio, place calls or trigger emergency notifications through a multifunction push-button knob. The NQ-VCTRL features a single, integrated LED display combining a nine-LED clock-style layout with a full-spectrum status ring to provide clear visual feedback for volume levels, call status, and system responses.
The Nyquist VoIP Indoor/Outdoor IP Horn with Talkback, NQ-IPHRN01, is a commercial-grade IP device designed for indoor and outdoor use, featuring HD audio, integrated amplification and talkback capability. The NQ-IPHRN01 connects via Cat5 to a PoE or PoE+ network and is configured and controlled through the Nyquist web interface.
