In a world dominated by video intercoms, the classic audio door phone remains one of the most practical, cost-effective, and reliable solutions for residential buildings. FARHD’s audio intercom system delivers clear voice communication, secure door release, and flexible wiring options—supporting buildings from 32 to 1024 flats. Whether you are upgrading an older property or equipping a new project, this solution combines simplicity with proven performance.
Not every building needs video. For many residential projects—apartments, social housing, student dormitories, and budget-conscious developments—audio intercoms provide everything residents need: the ability to answer the door, speak with visitors, and unlock the entrance. They are simpler to install, easier to maintain, and far more affordable than video systems.
FARHD has been manufacturing audio intercom systems since 1998, with over 28 years of industry experience. Our classic audio door phone solution is designed for durability, scalability, and flexible installation—making it the ideal choice for projects of all sizes.
Simple, Reliable, Flexible: The Core of the Classic Audio Door Phone
The FARHD audio door phone solution is built around three core principles:
Simple. No screens, no apps, no complex menus. Visitors press a button, residents answer, and the door unlocks. Everyone understands how it works—from children to elderly residents.
Reliable. Audio intercoms use mature, stable technology. There are no network dependencies, no software updates, and no compatibility issues. They simply work, year after year.
Flexible. With support for 2-wire and 3-wire wiring configurations, the system can be adapted to different building layouts and existing infrastructure. It supports from 32 to 1024 flats, making it suitable for small walk-ups and large residential complexes alike.
Key Features: Answer, Talk, Unlock
The classic audio door phone does exactly what it needs to do—nothing more, nothing less.
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Answer | Residents pick up the handset or press the answer button to receive a call from the entrance. |
| Talk | Full-duplex two-way audio with echo cancellation ensures clear, natural conversation. |
| Unlock | A dedicated unlock button releases the electric lock, allowing visitors to enter. |
These three functions form the foundation of any door entry system. They are intuitive, fast, and reliable—everything a resident needs for daily use.
Wiring Flexibility: 2-Wire and 3-Wire Systems
One of the biggest advantages of FARHD’s audio intercom is its wiring flexibility. Not all buildings have the same infrastructure, and not all projects can accommodate the same cabling. Our audio system supports both 2-wire and 3-wire configurations.
2-Wire System
- Uses a single pair of standard two-core wires.
- Non-polarity connection—connect either way without risk of damage.
- Ideal for retrofits where existing cabling can be reused.
- Simple installation, lower material and labour costs.
3-Wire System
- Uses three wires for audio, power, and control signals.
- Provides additional stability and supports longer cable runs.
- Suitable for larger buildings and more complex installations.
Both configurations support the full range of audio intercom functions, and both can be expanded to accommodate more flats and additional indoor units.
From 32 to 1024 Flats: Scalable for Any Residential Project
The FARHD audio intercom system is designed to scale. It supports configurations from as few as 32 flats up to 1024 flats using a decoder-based expansion architecture.
For small buildings (32–128 flats):
- A single outdoor station with a direct-call button panel or keypad.
- Indoor handsets in each flat.
- Simple 2-wire or 3-wire wiring throughout.
For medium buildings (128–512 flats):
- Multiple outdoor stations (e.g., main entrance, side entrance).
- Decoder units to expand capacity.
- Centralised power supply and distribution.
For large complexes (512–1024 flats):
- Multi-building integration.
- Multiple outdoor stations with guard station or concierge.
- Full decoder network with expansion capability.
This scalability makes the system suitable for a wide range of residential projects—from single buildings to large gated communities.
Materials: ABS Indoor Monitor & Aluminum Alloy Outdoor Station
The durability of an intercom system depends on the materials it is built from. FARHD’s audio door phone uses high-quality materials for both indoor and outdoor components.
ABS Indoor Monitor
- Lightweight and durable.
- Resistant to impact and everyday wear.
- Modern, clean design that fits any interior.
- Available in handset or hands-free models.
Aluminum Alloy Outdoor Station
- Corrosion-resistant and weatherproof.
- IP65 rated for dust and water resistance.
- Withstands extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C.
- Resistant to vandalism and UV damage.
The outdoor station is designed for permanent outdoor installation. It features a rain cover and sealed construction to ensure reliable operation in rain, snow, dust, and harsh sunlight.
Ideal Applications for Audio Door Phone Systems
Audio intercoms are not a “budget alternative”—they are the right solution for many building types.
| Application | Why Audio Fits |
|---|---|
| Residential buildings | Simple, reliable entry communication for all residents. |
| Social housing / affordable housing | Low cost per unit, easy to maintain, no network dependency. |
| Student dormitories | Durable, vandal-resistant, easy to manage. |
| Small apartment buildings | Simple wiring, fast installation, low maintenance. |
| Retrofit projects | Reuses existing 2-wire or 3-wire cabling. |
| Secondary entrances | Cost-effective solution for back doors, garage entries. |
For projects where video is not required—or where budget and simplicity are priorities—audio intercoms deliver unmatched value.
