Designed to control the voice evacuation announcements of TOA's VX-3000 Series rack-mount type voice evacuation system, the TOA Electronics VX-3016F features audio input terminals and can output the amplified audio signals to the speaker lines when the optional power amplifier modules are mounted. Compatible with networks, the system can be configured in distributed arrangement, allowing you to make an Emergency Warning Broadcast with two broadcasts being activated simultaneously.
The onboard digital signal processing function that enables appropriate acoustic adjustment for individual input sound sources and output areas. Up to 16 speaker output channels and a total of 2 power amplifier modules (2 for zone amplifier use and 1 for standby amplifier use) can be mounted. When one module for zone amplifier use is mounted, the VX-3016F can be used as 1-bus/16-zone output speaker selector. When 2 modules for zone amplifier use are mounted, it can be used as 2-channel 1-bus/8-zone output speaker selector. Zones can be expanded by connecting the unit having amplifier module(s) and the one having no amplifier module..
