Description
The IDA8C-RU from Bogen is a third-generation modular system that complies with current architectural demands requiring IP and/or fiberoptic networking to allow for even the most complex of system designs. IDA8 responds to Public Address and Voice Alarm requirements as stated in EN54-16, ISO 7240-16 and BS5839/8, with specific attributes for compliance in large installations.
The IDA8C Controller unit houses advanced audio digital signal processing (DSP), matrix control functions and a digital message player, with front panel access for a fully monitored fireman’s microphone and emergency message trigger buttons. IDA8C also supports amplifier monitoring with hot-swap amplifiers and loudspeaker line impedance monitoring. It can support up to four PSS-AS monitored microphone consoles and up to eight monitored amplifiers plus two backup amplifiers, paging into 8 different zones per unit with A/B line detection according to BS5939 part 8. Two card slots are provided for either 4-channel 0dB audio input or 4-channel audio cards. Optional AES/EBU cards are also available.
