New speakers for voice alarm systems

LDA Audio Tech’s new VTX series of directive columns and the CH-62TN 30 W ceiling loudspeaker have now successfully completed the EN 54-24 certification process.

The FireClass FC-EAS Evacuation Alert System from Johnson Controls has been designed to provide fire and rescue service personnel a simple and intuitive way to initiate an evacuation alert signal within high-rise structures.

The FC-EAS uses an easy-to-operate, zoned communication system. Individual toggle switches allow the operator to systematically activate and cancel the sounders to each floor. The indicators also let operators know the sounders on each floor are working properly. As evacuation is initiated, LED identifiers located on the exterior of the panel indicate status and availability of power within each zone.

It features a two- to four-loop power system that can support up to 16 building zones and the entire system can be extended by networking with the FC-EASBB Evacuation Alert System Black Box panel or additional FC-EAS Evacuation Alert System panels.

The evacuation alert system operates independently from the fire detection system. This allows it to be installed alongside new or existing fire detection systems within new construction and retrofit buildings. A highly durable exterior casing helps prevent tampering and keeps the system protected and ready for when it is needed most.

The new VTX series directive columns are three high-performance 15, 60, and 90 W speakers. Featuring a minimalist design with clean, straight lines, the VTX-15TN, VTX-60TN, and VTX-90TN models can be integrated into all types of architectural spaces. The three columns are made of resistant aluminum, fire-protected and have an IP54 protection rating (type B according to EN 54-24). They are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Their high directivity, achieved by acoustic engineering applied to the loudspeaker layout, allows the sound beam to be directed toward the audience area. The 30 W 2-way CH-62TN ceiling loudspeaker offers a wide frequency range, low distortion and high sound pressure level. This model features a fire dome, ceramic terminal, and isolation fuse to maintain the integrity of the system in case of an evacuation.
