Compact Microphone Stations (micnode mini)

nnounce compact microphone stations are simple, button-based paging stations for straightforward zone paging. Where the touchscreen stations give operators a full interface, the compact stations do one job well: pick a zone and page it. They come in two variants, the micnode mini3 with three buttons and the micnode mini6 with six buttons and an OLED status display, both with a microphone for live announcements.

Key benefits:

• A simple, cost-effective paging station for straightforward zone paging
• Backlit zone buttons, three on the mini3 and six on the mini6, with an OLED status display on the mini6
• Live paging through the built-in microphone, with capsule monitoring that flags a fault before it matters
• Q-SYS library verified and built on the same secure nnounce platform as the touchscreen stations
• Mounts in a standard US gang box and installs in minutes, with almost no training

How it works:

The compact stations are designed for simplicity, cost-efficiency, and reliability. An operator selects one or more zones with the backlit buttons and pages live through the microphone. The mini3 uses a status LED for feedback, while the mini6 adds a small OLED display that shows status information directly on the device. Both include active microphone capsule monitoring, which continuously checks that the microphone is working and flags a fault before it affects a live announcement, so you can trust the station in a safety-critical role.

This makes the compact stations a good fit for locations that need reliable paging without a full touchscreen interface, such as back-of-house areas, information desks, or smaller facilities. Each mounts in a standard US gang box, the mini3 in a 2-gang box and the mini6 in a 3-gang box, and is powered over a single PoE connection.

Like the touchscreen micnode2 stations, the compact stations integrate with the Q-SYS ecosystem and are built on the nnounce platform with the same security foundation, including secure boot, encrypted firmware, and optional AES256 encryption for AES67 audio. They deploy quickly and connect to your existing infrastructure, so you can add reliable paging points across the airport at a lower cost per station.
