IST RETRO Intercom Patio Station, 3-Wire Retrofit, White (RETRO-5P) Review

The IST RETRO Intercom Patio Station is a weather-resistant outdoor intercom station for the IST RETRO Music & Intercom System. It provides the same functionality as indoor Room Stations, with the exception of monitoring to ensure privacy. The station is designed for installation in protected areas, such as your porch or covered patio. The Master Station supports up to two Patio Stations. The Patio Station provides room-to-room and broadcast communication with other stations. When a call is initiated from any station in the system, all stations will be paged for the call. When the call is answered, the conversation becomes private to the two stations involved, and the receiving station can talk hands-free. In addition to intercom communication, the Patio Station allows you to play audio from the radio or any source connected to the Master Station. Two different sources can be played through different stations simultaneously, so one family member can listen to radio while another listens to an external audio source. Station Controls: Source Button: Press to select the auxiliary input. Press and hold to listen to the Door Station (sold separately). Talk Button: Initiates call to all intercom stations in the system. Listen Button: Answers a call and enables hands-free communication. Volume Knob: Controls the volume of the intercom and music. Set Button: Momentarily press to scan through radio presets. Press and hold to toggle radio On/Off. Can activate the optional door unlock feature. Designed to replace existing outdated patio stations, no new wiring is required. You can also create a complete outdoor audio system with any Patio Station by optionally connecting 8-ohm 30W or 100W external speakers (sold separately). NOTE: Requires the IST RETRO Music & Intercom System Master Station. COLOR: White.
