VX-3008F
Voice Evacuation Frame
VX-3008F
The VX-3008F is a device designed to control the Voice evacuation announcements of TOA's VX-3000 Series rack-mount type voice evacuation system which is compliant with the European Standard EN54 for fire alarm systems. It has audio input terminals and can output the amplified audio signals to the speaker lines when the optional power amplifier modules are mounted.
It is possible to make an Emergency Warning Broadcast assigned a higher priority than the Emergency broadcast. Two patterns of the Emergency broadcast can be activated simultaneously. Compatible with network, the system can be configured in distributed arrangement. Features include the following functions: Digital signal processing function that enables appropriate acoustic adjustment for individual input sound sources and output amplifiers, Feedback suppressor function that automatically suppresses acoustic feedback when it occurs, VOX function that allows start/stop control of broadcast by way of an audio trigger, and ANC function that enables an ambient noise control. (The ANC function distinguishes between the unit's output sound and the ambient noise. The unit's output sound is not detected as noise.)
Indicators that show such statuses as fault status and power amplifier signal status are provided. It has 8 speaker output channels. A total of 3 power amplifier modules (2 for zone amplifier use and 1 for standby amplifier use) can be mounted. Equipped with a matrix output, the VX-3008F can be used as 2-bus speaker selector using 2 power amplifiers. Setting the matrix output destination makes 1-bus and 2-bus zones coexist. Zones can be expanded by connecting the unit having amplifier module(s) and the one having no amplifier module. As the VX-3008F is equipped with Standby amplifier input/output terminal, the standby amplifier, when mounted, can be shared among VX-3000F units.
- Up to 3 amps (8 zones switching between 2 amps + standby amp or 8 zones freely assignable to 1 of 2 amps)
- All mandatory indications by EN54-16
- Status indication for each speaker line
- Fault acknowledge and lamp test button
- Input DSP: flexible filtertypes and compressor
- Output DSP: flexible filtertypes, compressor and delay up to 2.7 sec.

Frame for 3 amplifier modules with 8 monitored speaker outputs.
Two amplifier modules can be assigned to any speaker output.
Speaker outputs with overlapping amplifiers will automatically choose the amplifier which signal has to be transmitted.
This allows a simultaneous broadcast of two different audio signals per frame to achieve an interruption-free BGM operation during a paging.
The third amplifier module can be used as standby amplifier.
Up to 4 base frames of this type can be cascaded to increase the number of assignable speaker outputs.
Monitoring is possible by impedance surveillance or by using an end-of-line module.
Settings for impedance deviation to indicate an open or shorted line can be individually set for every output.
4 general balanced audio inputs (microphone/line level) and 2 inputs for up to 8 remote microphones including up to two emergency microphones.
The signals at the general audio inputs can be mixed.
All mandatory indications and controls regarding EN54-16 can be found on the front panel.
Fault indication for every speaker output line.
Redundant network connection (Ethernet) of the base frame with RSTP via two RJ45 ports.
