Whether it's a drive-through pickup window, a ticket booth, a curbside pharmacy or health-clinic window, a transportation depot check-in, or a ferry terminal boarding station, this kit delivers high-quality audio through a weather-rated 30-watt overhead speaker paired with a slim stem microphone on the customer side and a dual-mute staff unit indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complete kit includes everything you need for a permanent outdoor install: a Contacta STS-S80-IP IP54-rated overhead speaker for high-clarity audio in noisy exterior environments; an STS-M15-300-IP IP54-rated stem microphone that picks up customer speech from the counter or window ledge; an STS-SU1-3W-B black dual-mute staff speaker\/microphone for the indoor operator station; a high-performance amplifier; an under-counter hearing loop aerial for T-coil hearing aid users on the staff side; a power supply; and a 16.4 ft extension cable so you can route the customer-side hardware up to distance without needing to source additional cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the scenes, the STS-K080-IP pairs a 30W overhead speaker with an omnidirectional stem microphone on the outdoor side, and a cardioid directional staff microphone with a 5W speaker at the operator station. The precision-tuned amplifier delivers clean audio across the full speech range, and the customer-side hardware is IP54-rated to withstand splashing water from any direction along with dust and dirt ingress. Rugged, reliable, and designed for high-traffic outdoor service windows where a standard indoor intercom would degrade quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What does the IP54 rating mean and where can this be installed outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: IP54 is an ingress protection rating that means the unit is protected against dust ingress and water splashing against the enclosure from any direction. In practical terms, that means the outdoor components can be installed at exterior service windows exposed to rain, wind-driven precipitation, and dust without needing an additional weather enclosure. It's suited for drive-through windows, curbside pickup counters, ferry terminals, and outdoor service points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is different about this kit versus the STS-K009-IP outdoor entry system?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The STS-K080-IP is designed for outdoor service windows where a staff member is always present and ready to talk (drive-throughs, curbside pickup, ticket booths). It uses a large 30W overhead speaker and a slim stem microphone that stay on for continuous conversation. The STS-K009-IP is designed for outdoor entry points (gates, security doors) where staff need to be summoned first, so it includes a physical call button that customers press to trigger an audible alert on the staff side. Choose the K080-IP for continuous drive-through-style service; choose the K009-IP for gate or entry-request scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is the K080-IP different from the indoor STS-K001, K002, or K003 kits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The K080-IP is outdoor-rated (IP54) and uses hardware suited to exposed installations, an overhead speaker mounted above the customer window, and a stem microphone at the counter. The indoor STS-K001, K002, and K003 kits use smaller counter-mounted or flush-mounted speaker\/microphone modules designed for indoor service counters like bank teller windows, pharmacy counters, and ticket booths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many components come in the kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The complete set includes the STS-A31H amplifier, STS-SU1-3W-B black dual-mute staff speaker and microphone unit, STS-S80-IP IP54 overhead speaker, STS-M15-300-IP IP54 stem microphone, IL-AE99 under-counter hearing loop aerial, STS-EX5M 16.4 ft extension cable, and PS-55 power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why does the kit include a 16.4 ft extension cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Outdoor installations typically require longer cable runs than indoor kits because the amplifier and staff unit sit inside the building while the speaker and microphone are mounted on the exterior wall or under a canopy. The included 16.4 ft (5 m) extension cable saves you the step of sourcing additional cabling for the customer-side hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this include a hearing loop for customers with hearing aids?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The IL-AE99 hearing loop aerial included in the kit is designed for under-counter installation on the staff side, which helps hearing-aid-equipped staff. If you need customer-side hearing loop coverage at the outdoor window, that's not a standard use case for this kit. Contact us at 800-207-2259 to discuss options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is installation complicated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The electronics are plug-and-play, but the outdoor speaker and stem microphone need to be permanently mounted on the exterior of the service window with cabling routed back to the indoor amplifier and staff unit. Plan for a professional installer if you're not comfortable running low-voltage cable through walls, drilling through the exterior, or working with an overhead speaker mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP54 Weather-Resistant Outdoor Hardware - Protected against dust ingress and water splashing from any direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-Output 30W Overhead Speaker - Delivers clear audio in noisy outdoor environments including traffic and wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide-Range Omnidirectional Stem Microphone - Picks up customer speech from any angle at the window or counter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-Mute Staff Unit - Cardioid microphone with mute function for operator privacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Duplex Communication - Simultaneous two-way audio, no push-to-talk delay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete System Kit - Comes with all major components:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTS-A31H Window Intercom Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTS-SU1-3W-B Staff Unit Speaker and Microphone (dual mute, black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTS-S80-IP IP54 Overhead Speaker (30W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTS-M15-300-IP IP54 Stem Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIL-AE99 Under-Counter Hearing Loop Aerial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTS-EX5M 16.4 ft Extension Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePS-55 Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide Frequency Response - Outdoor speaker covers 120 Hz to 20 kHz; microphone covers 100 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Extension Cable - 16.4 ft (5 m) cable makes it practical to run cable from the customer side back to the indoor amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact Amplifier Unit - ABS plastic housing with membrane push-button power control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTamper-Resistant Outdoor Hardware - Metal and ABS construction for durability in public installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible Power Options - PS-55 14V DC power supply with efficient low-current operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliant Standards - Customer-side hardware IP54-rated against dust and water ingress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STS-K080-IP Outdoor Window Intercom System is designed for any outdoor service window where continuous clear communication is required.
