WHAT IS THE SOUNDBRICK 550N?
The
SoundBrick
®
Model 550N
is a solid-state digital audio recording and
playback device designed to provide a continuous-loop audio source for telephone
message on hold (MOH) plus a night answer feature. The message on hold and
night answer audio programs load into the SoundBrick’s digital flash memory
automatically from your pre-recorded cassette tape and can also be loaded remotely
using a standard touch-tone telephone.
During the day the SoundBrick 550N provides message-on-hold audio to your phone
system. When night answer is activated, the unit continues to play the MOH
message until an incoming call is detected. After the selected number of rings, the
unit answers the call, plays the 30- or 60-second night answer message, then
disconnects. Night answer can be activated manually using a switch on the unit or
can be set to turn on and off automatically at pre-set times by connecting the optional
24-hour/7-day digital timer and 1/8” mini-plug trigger cable. This optional timer
ensures night answer is operational at the correct times each day and eliminates the
chance of lost calls should the staff forget to turn off the night answer switch.
