TOA Electronics VM-3240E 240W Extension Amplifier for VM-3000 Series

TheVM-3240E is Microprocessor-controlled extension amplifiers for VM-3240VA. 6 switchable and adjustable volume speaker outputs with a total of 240-Watt nominal power output. Audio input for local transmission with choice of outputs over inputs. 8 universally usable inputs and 8 universally usable control outputs; 6 separate inputs for alarm control of the BMZ with switchable monitoring, one with 24-volt control (polarity); three separate status outputs with relay contacts for feedback to the BMZ: collective fault signal (changeover contact), emergency activated (changeover contact) and CPU from (normally open). Each line output a switching relay for example external volume control in 3- and 4-wire technology.

The VM-3000 Series UL 2572 and UL 864 listed, is ideal for small and medium-sized applications. It incorporates such emergency functions as continuous speaker line monitoring and a built-in voice alarm. This easy-to-install system also offers PA broadcasting, paging and BGM functions that ensure consistently high intelligibility. The VM-3000 Series is digitally audio processed and controlled, and may be set up and operated directly by using the controls and LCD display on the front panel. A dedicated PC software configuration capability is also provided for establishing settings via LAN. The incorporation of wide-ranging functional capabilities, superb reliability and versatility make the VM-3000 a highly cost-effective emergency broadcast system.
