So we currently have a client that uses a phone which picks up automatically through an adapter, with the signal then going into another adapter for a bullhorn. The idea is that when they want to make an announcement, they simply call the phone, it answers, and they speak their message. I'm a little confused on how this actually works, but I have been tasked with finding a replacement so I need a little help here.

This picture shows the adapter connected directly to the phone, which picks up the phone and allows it to be used as a sort of an intercom device.

This next picture shows the adapter that is being used to connect to the bullhorn.

Right now we are currently planning on using a SNOM PA-1 to act as the phone and to handle the auto-answering part, but we need to be able to connect that device to the device that relays audio to the bullhorn (the "VIKING" device; picture above).

This is a picture of the device we plan to use (SNOM PA-1).

Does anyone else have any experience with solving a problem like this? Would it be possible to splice the wire coming out of the Viking Paging Amp into the two connectors on the SNOM PA-1?
 
I expect you would - if the signal coming out of that device is 2 wire - amplified signal.
We have our bullhorns connected to a power supply.
Horn - 2 wires to power and 2 wires to Snom.
2 horns connected to it.

(Tip - we also do multicast paging to the Snom PA1... Can explain more if you need more info)

What is connected to the Line Out of the Snom (white wire) ?

The picture of the SNOM PA-1 is from Google, so any connections coming in and out of it are unrelated to the problem at hand. I included it for reference, so you could see the two connectors (with the red and black pushtabs).

Sorry for any confusion!
 
Another note... the Snom PA1 is not Digital to Analog. It's SIP to Analog.
The phone in the first picture - can't tell for sure - but is it a key system phone running digital as opposed to SIP?
 
The phone in the image is a 10+ yr old analog phone.
