Complete solution for emergency public address and evacuation with zones. Dante compatible and ethernet connection for configuration and control via PC software. Among its main functions we can highlight the issuance of emergency warnings and evacuation with zone control. Check system status and monitor of speaker lines. Input and output DSP functions. Playback of pre-recorded messages, mic and line inputs, automatic switching of the backup amplifier.

Each VELA-AMP central amplifier or VELA-EXT extension has 6 zones with independent volume. The system supports up to 252 zones, with a central amplifier and 42 extensions. Each amplifier provides 360 W RMS of power to distribute to the zones, with a maximum of 180 W per zone.

It is possible to connect 2 VELA-FMIC firefighter microphones and 2 VELA-MIC paging microphones to each VELA-AMP and VELA-EXT extension core amplifier. The complete system supports 32 firefighter microphones and 32 paging microphones. If EN54-16 compliance is required, only 16 firefighter microphones can be connected.

Great versatility of integration with other systems, with general purpose inputs and outputs, emergency control inputs for connection to switchboards, outputs to bypass attenuators, etc. Perfect for installation with fire and security systems.
