Sonos integration: waiting room music + paging.

Play background music in your waiting room or lobby through Sonos speakers. When you need to page — "Marie Tremblay, salle 3 s'il vous plaît" — EMAK overrides the music to deliver the announcement, then resumes playback automatically.

Ideal for clinics, dental offices, and professional services where waiting room ambiance matters but you still need to call patients or clients by name.

Frequently asked questions.

What is VoIP paging?

VoIP paging broadcasts a one-way voice announcement through desk phones and speakers connected to your business phone system. Dial a code, speak your message, and it plays instantly on the target devices.

Can I page through Sonos speakers?

Yes. EMAK integrates with Sonos to play waiting room music and deliver paging announcements. The music is overridden during a page and resumes automatically when the announcement is done.

Can I page through overhead ceiling speakers?

Yes. EMAK supports SIP paging adapters and SIP-native ceiling/wall speakers. Broadcast to individual rooms, zones, or your entire facility without a separate PA system.

Do I need special hardware for paging?

For desk phone paging, no — any SIP phone on your system supports it. For overhead paging, you need SIP-compatible speakers or a Sonos system. EMAK connects to both.

Can I page from my softphone or only from a desk phone?

Both — page from any device connected to your EMAK system, including the browser-based softphone.

Does the paging feature cost extra?

No — included with every EMAK business phone plan. Compatible SIP speakers or Sonos devices are purchased separately.
