Vigilon Voice, a fully distributed voice alarm and public address system, has been launched by Gent by Honeywell.
It has features such as high efficiency Adaptive Class -D amplification and digital signal processing, allowing the system to be used not only as a VA system, but also as a very flexible PA system.
The system uses what is described as the latest surveillance techniques for system monitoring, and also provides a microphone by-pass facility in the unlikely event that a processor should fail. This makes Vigilon Voice compliant with BS5839 Part 8, claims the company.
The system is available either with 200watt or 400watt distributed amplifier units (DAUs), and can operate as stand alone or fully distributed. When used as a distributed system, the DAUs are connected via an audio highway, which carries data and central message facilities from the Audio Control Unit. The addition of microphones, either emergency or routine, makes it as there is no need to provide two separate systems for VA and PA.
