IP Office Paging Through a Stereo Sound System

[superikey]

I have a client who will be installing a Denon AVR-391 AMP hooked up to 6 Stereo Ceiling speakers placed throughout their offices. The speakers will be used to play Music throughout the office. The speakers being used are Stereo in that they have 2 sets of connectors on them for R/L using 2 tweeters and a dual voice coil woofer.

So the question.
We also want to be able to page through these speakers from the IPO, preferably from an Analog Extension using a T/R Interface.

Any comments on how to set this up?

That setup is totally inappropriate for a background music system, let alone a paging system. There is no input for paging that will override the current selection coming over the speakers.

If you used a UPAM (TAM-B) there are two sets of relay contacts that you could use to switch the speaker outputs of the music amp to a paging amp just for paging, but it would be easier to install separate 70V speakers and the correct amp, or self-powered speakers and a power supply.
