For large-scale applications TOA offers the EN 54 certified Network Audio Management System SX2000, which is a scalable system used for versatile and highly effective PA systems.

TOA’s unique N-8000 IP Intercom system is an integrated audio communication system that employs packet audio technology over the IP network to achieve fast, accurate communications with optimal security and reliability. Applications range from conversation, paging broadcasting and BGM broadcasting to emergency paging and broadcasting, audio triggering and other security functions. Users can select between two communication modes according to their needs: Master-to-Master station communication for duplex conversation at factories, hospitals and various other facilities; or Master-to-Sub station communication for use by institutions such as schools or prisons.

It features new matrixing capabilities, so that a single system can have its components distributed across different locations under centralized control.

Ideal for large-scale installations ranging over multiple buildings as well as local systems, the SX-2000 Series is particularly well-suited for airports and railway stations, factories, shopping malls and large offices. This cost effective solution can be used for any installation without long lead times and the expense of custom systems.

PROFESSIONAL AUDIO TOA’s professional audio systems maximize the appeal and emotion inherent in sound of all kinds, from the intense and fierce to the quiet and mellow.

In venues large and small, and in a wide variety of situations requiring advanced, multipurpose sound systems, TOA pursues the qualities of the sound itself to create dynamic, comfortable sound spaces that satisfy the strict requirements of professional users.

In large spaces like arenas, domes, athletic facilities, large gymnasiums and large churches, it has typically proved difficult to achieve high-quality sound using conventional speakers. TOA’s “Line array Speakers” offer solutions through their ability to create clean, clear sound spaces even in venues presenting such difficult conditions.

TOA’s latest development in this field, is the active line array SR-D8, where we brought together our proprietary line array technology and digital signal processing (DSP) technology.
