POSSIBILITY OF ADDING TO THEM IN TIME,

AND SOUND-BROADCASTING SYSTEMS

WITH DIAGNOSTIC CONTROL INCLUDING A

FUNCTION FOR SENDING EMERGENCY OR

EVACUATION MESSAGES (VOICE EVACUA-

TION SYSTEMS – VES), MEETING IEC 60849

STANDARDS. THE MODULAR NATURE OF

THE SYSTEM ENABLES TAILOR-MADE CON-

FIGURATIONS TO BE CREATED, WITH

REGARD BOTH TO DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

AND THE BUDGET AT DISPOSAL. IN DESIGN-

ING A VES SYSTEM, IT IS NECESSARY TO

COMPLY NOT ONLY WITH THE INDICATIONS

PROVIDED BELOW BUT ALSO WITH IEC

60849 STANDARDS MENTIONED ABOVE.

The modular PMS 2000 system uses two types of card-cage: a signal card-cage, in which up to a maximum of 10 modules can be housed, and a power card-cage, capable of containing from two to four amplifiers, depending on their output power. The PMS2002-B card-cage will contain the modules (input/output modules, zones selectors, line output, power supplies, tuners, etc.) that, thanks to the bus-type configuration of the mother board, can be plugged in without having to follow a specific order. This is because an essential and innovative feature of the PMS2000 system is the presence of 3 signal buses, of which one for managing PA signals with related zones addressing and two (A & B) for

managing two signals other than PA or one stereo signal (fig. 1.1). This enables several independent systems to be set up within a single card-cage, in which they will in any case be connected to a single control and power-supply line. One example of application could be that of a theatre in which it would be possible, using a single system, to broadcast stereo music for the show and, at the same time, to make voice calls to the single dressing-rooms. In case of need or in an emergency, it would be possible to suspend the music to send general messages to all the rooms. The bus carries the power-supply lines, the audio signals, the serial communication line and the service signals (priority, enabling, etc.). The only exception to the random nature of the positions of the modules inside the rack concerns the PM2020-B and PM2020-V input modules, for which priority of the inputs on one card over those on another is defined by the position of the card in question within the card-cage. The signal card-cage is mounted on sliding guides that enable it to be pulled out from the rack. Once the card-cage has been pulled out, the card-cage can be rotated for ease of installation and maintenance of the modules. The modules are plugged into the card-cage with no need for any internal cabling. All the connectors used for the input and output connections, located on the rear, are of the professional type and particularly functional (XLR inputs with locking levers, removable screw-down terminal with bayonet couplings, etc). A PMS2000 system can include up to three PMS2002-B card-cages. Each card-cage can house up to 9 standard 38 mm wide modules plus one PM2011-B power-supply module. The PMS2001 power card-cage enables power amplifiers to be installed in a rack. Three models of amplifier are available, with outputs of 240 W (PMW240), 120 W (PMW 120) and 60 W (PMW60) respectively. A card-cage can contain up to four 60 W or 120 W amplifiers or two 240 W amplifiers, since the latter take up twice as much room in front. Various combinations are possible, such as two 120 W amplifiers plus one 240 W amplifier.

A - PMS2000 SYSTEMS FOR SOUND-BROADCASTING ONLY

By combining the various functional modules and call stations at disposal, it is possible to “compose” systems for broadcasting music and announcements, the functional characteristics of which may include:

• Up to 16 audio inputs with adjustable sensitivity for each channel for a system with only one signal card-cage

• Up to 48 audio signals for a system with 3 signal card-cages

• Up to 32 or 36 output zones, with override control

• Up to 32 levels of priority among the inputs

• Several independent audio systems in the same rack

• Integration with outside units (matrix units, message generators, PABXs, etc.)

• 230 VAC and/or 24 VDC power-supply

• 12, 24 or 32-zone call stations with star connections

• Programmable digital call stations on RS485 serial lines.

Use of analogue call stations is advisable in systems in which the financial aspect prevails, while digital keypads are used in PA systems in which specific functions are required, such as control of the system directly from the call station (volume control, selection of radio stations, intercommunications between the call stations, etc.). When using digital microphone stands, it is essential to use the SWPMB1.0 configuration system.

B - SOUND-BROADCASTING AND EVACUATION SYSTEMS (VES) WITH PMS2000

Configuration of the PMS2000 system for safety systems meeting IEC 60849 (CEI 100-55) standards requires use for the signal part of the range of VES modules bearing the suffix –V instead of the corresponding modules with the suffix –B, and for power amplifiers of the PMW range a PM2092-V control card has to be added

to each of them

. Each loudspeaker line, also, must be terminated on a PM2094-V line-control card. Very briefly, it can be said that a safety sound-broadcasting system meeting the above standards must have the following requisites:

• Control of the

critical

path, understood to mean the path of the audio signal starting from the capsule of the emergency microphone and/or from the message generator to the loudspeaker line, through the amplification chain: any failure along this path has to be signalled in a suitable manner.

• Possibility of operating in case of mains failure for at least 30 minutes at the maximum output and for 24 hours in standby conditions. A secondary source of 24 VDC power with a battery-charging unit must therefore be provided. This source must be sized so as to ensure independent operation as indicated above, depending on the absorption of the system. The maximum operating time in a stand-by condition may be limited to 6 hours when, in addition to the batteries, an emergency generator is also available.

• Storage of alarm events in a non-volatile memory, including recording of the date/hours/minutes/seconds.

In addition to the functional features of a “conventional” broad-casting system, the VES system will also have the control and alarm features summarised below:

• Digital control of the critical path, which includes:

- control of the emergency microphone capsule (M961-V)

and of the control microphone (PMB130-V)

- control of the connection between the alarm control unit

and the broadcasting system

- control of the warning-and-alarm message generator

- functional control of the VES modules

- functional control of the power amplifiers

- control of the loudspeaker lines (constant-voltage output

lines)

• Simultaneous broadcasting of the EVACUATION and ALERT messages to different zones

• Logging of alarms (up to 100) in the non-volatile memory of the CPU

• Software-programmable I/O functions, for managing failures and alarms (PM2093-V/-VL modules with 8 inputs and 8 outputs)

• Control of programming and management of the whole system via a PC connected to the RS232 serial line.

• Control via console (PMB130-V) equipped with a display, buzzer, warning signal, mechanical key for manual intervention on the system, display of alarm status for each zone (evacuation and/or alert).

• Management of stand-by amplifiers (PM2095)

• POWER LOW function lowering consumption by the amplifiers in the stand-by condition.

• Break in background music in case of mains failure, in order to increase the operating time of the system.

The power-supply module takes care of supplying the power needed to operate all the components of the system (with the exception of the power amplifiers). It has electronic protection against short-circuits and overloads. On the front panel, in addition to the main ON/OFF switch, there are also three signalling lamps indicating the power-supply sources (AC/DC) and the power supply status (ON/OFF). A connector is provided for adding further PMS2002-B (up to a maximum of 3) card-cages to expand the connection, by means of the CV36 cable. The PM2011-V module is the version for use in VES systems according to IEC 60849 standards and has a microcontroller that checks all the power supplies, both mains and battery.

SYSTEMS

The PM2020-B module has two inputs to which audio sources of various types can be connected. The module can be set to take both microphone signals and high-level signals. Each channel has a disconnectable phantom power supply, a direct pre-amplified output, two-band tone control, an input for enabling of internal priority / chime / gate and a circuit for activating the external control channel. The output level and tone controls are on the front panel. The level of priority in respect of other input modules depends on the position of the module within the card-cage. Each of the two inputs can be equipped with a transformer with galvanic separation (TM80 or TM92) and an effective dynamics-limiting circuit (AC33), which considerably improves playing out of voice messages if there are strong variations in the level of the sound coming from the microphone.

PM2020-B (-V) PM2023-B

PM2020-B Dual input module

The PM2020-V module is similar to the PM2020-B module, with the only difference that input no. 1 is a dedicated input for connecting an M961-V emergency microphone in the VOX mode with top priority over any signal. The M961-V

emergency microphone

is controlled in accordance with IEC 60849 standards, and is an element of the critical path that is monitored continuously by the system’s CPU (PM2021-V). This microphone should be installed, preferably, inside a special soundproofed container in order to avoid generation of “improper” calls or false alarms.

PM2020-V Dual-input module for M961-V emergency microphone

This module differs from the PM2020-B due to the VOX functioning mode of the two inputs.

Through a local serial line, it distributes the commands to the PM2042-B relay cards and to the PM2060-B tuner, if any. It is possible to connect up to 31+31 consoles to the two output lines.

The software SWPMB1.0 enables the following parameters to be programmed in the non-volatile memory:

• Microphone signal level

• Activation/de-activation of the Intercom function and output level of the monitoring loudspeaker (PMB136 only)

• Activation of the “treble boost” for stressing the treble frequencies

• Activation of the “low cut” filter if there are any horn-type loudspeaker units in the system

• Reading of the priority level of the call stations set locally

• Selection of the radio station (PMB136 only)

• Volume control of the radio station that is on the air

• Stations in a call status displayed with the selected zones.

The PM2021-V module contains the CPU for controlling a sound

-broadcasting and evacuation

system together with the SWPMS1.0. software The module administers and co-ordinates the activities of the PMB131 and PMB136 digital consoles and is able to manage the dialogue with the PC through a separate RS232 line. The commands sent to the PM2011-V, PM2020-V, PM2042-V, PM2045-V, PM2061-V, PM29093-V cards and to the PM2060-B tuner, if any, lead out from this module. The software takes care of managing addressing of the evacuation and alert signals, of the emergency microphone and of programming of the input and output contacts associated with alarm signals or messages. Up to 87 amplifiers (with PM2092-V cards) can be connected to the two RS485 serial outputs, while two more outputs are dedicated outputs for connecting up to a maximum of 31 call stations per system. A permanent or temporary link to a PC, through the RS232 serial line, will enable programming and the system status to be viewed, as well as the alarm logging. The alarms are stored in a non-volatile memory (up to 100 events with their dates and times). Up to 16 different configurations are possible. They can be called up by means of a single control. Permanent use of a PC is recommended in integrated safety systems for displaying the following:

• System configuration

• The number and status of the modules/amplifiers installed in the system

• The parameters referred to the loudspeaker lines

• The status reports of the broadcasting section: present zones - activated zones - enabled console

• Report of failure status: line impedance, amplifier status, end-of-line (EOL) control, critical path

• Fault logging (last 99 with date/hours/minutes), resettable with a password

• Remote-metering of the consoles

• Remote-metering of the amplifiers.

PM2022-B AUX input module

PM2022-B

This includes the audio signal mixing and control circuits (level and tone) present on the various different buses: PA channel (mono bus), channel A & B (left and right channels). Among other things, it has an integrated warning signal generator, a LED-type level indicator and three-band tone control. The bus PA mixing output (mono) is electronically balanced, and it is also possible to use a repeater coil for providing galvanic isolation of the line. Each PM2040-B module can share the signals present on the mixing buses with any other output modules installed (thus obtaining several identical output lines but with separate level and tone controls), or it can isolate the buses in order to put together several independent systems inside a single card-cage.

The module manages routing of the emergency signals, under the control of the PM2021-V CPU, to the amplifiers. The module has program 6 inputs and 6 outputs for 6 amplifiers. During normal operation (not in an emergency), the signals applied to the inputs are reproduced exactly on the outputs. In emergency conditions, the VES signals present on the system BUS are taken by it and routed to the outputs on the basis of the program written into the CPU. The module also has an input for an external source, that can be connected as required to any of the system’s four emergency lines.

The PM2061-V module is a controlled pre-recorded message generator, for evacuation systems according to IEC 60849 standards. It enables two messages to be played out

simulta-

neously

(i.e. one EVACUATION message and one ALERT message. It is possible to manage the recorder directly via the keypad or through the CPU 2021-V. The messages can either be played out automatically (for example, by connecting the system to a fire-fighting control unit) or manually via external contacts. Recording of the messages, which is possible by means of any dynamic microphone, does not require any adjustments, thanks to a sophisticated automatic gain control system which is able to offset even considerable variations in the voice level. The messages are stored digitally in the Multimediacard

, which enables a recording time of 4 minutes per

message.

The card, which has to be installed on a DIN guide or using the special AC2095 accessory, receives from the PM2092-V mod- ule the command to activate one stand-by amplifier for each group of 4 amplifiers being monitored. The card can be connected to others in cascade formation by means of quick-fitting connectors so as to create other configurations: 1 out of 4, 1 out of 8, 2 out of 8 etc., in multiples of 4.

This card has to be powered by a 24 VDC external power supply.

PM2095 Card for activating stand-by amplifiers

The expansion module allows to expand the system up to a maximum of three card cages. The connection among the cages carries the signals of the three mixing buses (PA, L and R channels), the serial control line, the priority line and chime.

PM2091-B Bus expansion module

The loudspeakers lines from PMW amplifiers with PM2092-V control cards can be kept under control using PM2094-V endof-line cards. The digital monitor identifies the exact point of the failure and its type (break or short circuit), even if the line is split up into several branches (up to 3), which makes laying the lines far simpler and less expensive.

PM2094-V End of-line control card

The PM2092 card enables simple and rapid testing of the PMWxx power amplifiers. It can be used in any system, even for sound-broadcasting only, to carry out the following functions:

• Measuring the impedance of the loudspeaker line

• Diagnosis of correct operation of the amplifier (gain, power supply, electronic protection and operating temperature)

• Checking insulation to earth (GND FAULT)

• Volume control of the amplifier by means of a remote potentiometer (max. 1 km)

• Add a second input that works either as selected or mixed (automatic attenuation of the secondary input) one

• Control of power relay

• Operation in “LOW POWER” energy-saving mode

• Possibility of switching a failed amplifier automatically to the stand-by unit by means of the PM2095 circuit.

, it is

essential

to add the PM2092 card to the power amplifiers. In this case, the card will be controlled by means of a serial interface and it will therefore be possible to view all the control parameters and to change them via a PC. These parameters include:

- Reading of the reference impedance for the test

- Maximum and minimum values between which the test is valid

- Reading of test status

- Testing for the presence of the input signal

- Measurement of temperature of the power transistors

- Volume control

- Remote control of the relay.

It is also possible to monitor continuity of the loudspeakers lines using PM2094-V cards at the end of the line.

Careful design and a choice of reliable high-tech components led to the creation of this range of extremely compact amplifiers, capable of functioning even in the toughest conditions. The forced-ventilation cooling system and the numerous electronic and thermal protection devices ensure maximum reliability of operation in time. These amplifiers differ from one another only in their output power and their sizes (two 60 W or two 120 W amplifiers take up the same space as one 240 W amplifier). Each PMS2001 card-cage can contain two PMW240 or four PMW60/PMW120 amplifiers, plus all

the intermediate configurations. The amplifiers of the PMWxxx range can also be used separately from the PMS2000 system whenever such a small layout and high reliability are required, since they can be housed in any suitable container or be placed on shelves.

In evacuation systems, it

is essential to use the PM2092-V serial control card, to be plugged into the amplifier

. The LEDs on the front panels have the dual

function of VU Meters (in normal conditions) or of indicating the type of failure, if any, detected by the PM2092-V control card.

The equipment can be used both with the line signals (before the amplifier) and with power signals (output from the amplifier with 100 V line). The P8036 has provisions for connecting two amplifiers (one for music and one for speech) and it can be configured to operate with a single amplifier for both voice and music. There are 4 inputs for auxiliary sound

sources with selectors and level controls, one input on a terminal strip for connecting several stations of the B500 and B600 ranges and an input with VOX priority for sound sources, such as a message generator or an alarm-tone generator. The music source that was selected, adjusted in amplitude, will be available at the MUSIC OUT output , while the voice signal from the base or from the VOX input (depending on priority) will be available on the SPEECH OUT. If there is only one amplifier, this input will also provide the music featuring the lowest priority.

SDP220 Receiver module

This module demodulates the signals distributed by the SDM200 modulator (or directly by cable radio systems). The receiver can be activated from a remote location, even if it is switched off, by means of a voltage of 12 VDC. This feature means that it is possible, if required, to force broadcasting of emergency messages to single listening zones. The module can be operated by means of a 12 VDC source or from the mains at 230 VAC by means of the SDT100 transformer contained in the SDA200-T loudspeaker module. The channels are selected cyclically by means of keys. The selected channel is shown on a display which has automatic brightness adjustment on the basis of the ambient light. Volume control is electronic. If the module is used in a conventional simultaneous translation system, it can be housed in the conference table or in the arm or backrests of the chairs. The messages can be listened to through headsets plugged into the sockets provided for them. For special

installations, the modules can be supplied in customised versions with panels of various types.

The SD200 system enables simultaneous distribution of 6 different programmes over a single pair of wires. The ease of installation as compared with conventional systems makes it particularly suitable for sound-broadcasting to the single rooms of accommodation facilities such as hotels, nursing homes, tourist centres, residential centres, cruise ships, ferries and private homes. The heart of the system is the SDP220 receiver module, which can be installed in any room inside a normal flush-mounted box for wiring systems. The SDM200 modulator can provide a constant signal for a maximum of 80 SDP220 receivers. Continuous expansion, in multiples of 80 is possible, by including the SDB200 amplifier in the signal line. The SD200 system can also be used to manage up to 6 languages in fixed simultaneous translation systems. A cabled simultaneous translation system enables excellent listening quality, with no interference and a very high level of safety against unauthorised tapping.

SDM200 Modulator

This system enables 6 signals from sources generated locally by CD or cassette players, tuners, etc. to be transmitted and mixed via a telephone pair. A pre-amplifier circuit adapts the amplitude of the signals of the sources for correct modulation of the respective carriers generated by a stage that functions according to the PLL technique, with quartzcontrolled reference frequency. The six modulated carriers are sent to an RF amplifier and then to the output sockets by means of an RF transformer that takes care of balancing and of the correct impedance value.

SDB200 Line amplifier

This must be used if the length of the line attenuates the signal excessively or, in any case, if the number of SDP220 receivers is greater than 80. Each SDB200 enables a further 80 receivers to be added. It is possible to expand the system to a practically unlimited number of receivers using the appropriate additional SDB200 amplifiers. For the 230 VAC mains power, it is necessary to add the SDT101 transformer.

The ITC2000-C is an interphone system for counters for the public. Microprocessor-based management allows highquality flexible performance. The system has more than one operating model. It can be configured as a handsfree “speak-listen” unit and, if connected to an amplifier, it can be incorporated profitably into a sound-broadcasting system. This latter application is extremely interesting, since in addition to carrying on a conversation over the counter, the operator can also make

announcements to the public or calls to zones. These can also be made, with different levels of priority, via the microphones of other operators connected to the system (i.e. safety personnel, and so on). The ITC2000-C stands out from other “speak-listen” systems available on the market since it operates in the attenuation mode rather than by switching. This makes the conversation more natural, since the unpleasant breaks in the dialogue that are typical of switched systems are avoided. The operator station is equipped with a microphone on a flexible stem, long enough to enable conversation in a natural tone of voice and volume, with no howl-round effects. The system must be equipped with PASO C401-B loudspeakers on the public side, for listening. These are made of aluminium, are extremely tough and suitable also for applications requiring protection against vandalism, (e.g. railway and underground, night chemists). In the back panel there are two standard 3,5 mm jack plugs for connecting headphones and/or external microphone.

Note: As an alternative to the C401-B, the models of the EGI range, items nos. G13U/16 or G28N/16 are also available.

ITC2000-C • Interphone system for counters

ITC2000-C

The ITC2000-C interphone system consists of the following:

• External 230 V AC/18 V DC, 500mA power supply

• Connecting cable between the interphone base and the

junction box (length 3 m), equipped with 6-pin (male) telephone connectors

• Junction box (telephone type) with 6-pole (female) telephone connector

• Wall-mounted electret microphone, equipped with shielded cable (length 3m). This microphone was designed for mounting on the glass pane above the counter, thanks to its vibration-proof double-adhesive strip.

AC8050 Amplifier control module

AC8050

Device enabling normal operation of the amplifier to be controlled. A jumper can be used to provide “stand-alone” type of operation or connected via a serial line to the P8006 remote controller. The module can function powered either directly from the amplifier or from an external power supply. In this latter case, the microcontroller-based test section will be galvanically isolated from the amplifier thanks to the optoisolators on the card.

Its main features are:

• Control of correct functioning of the amplifier by sending a 20 kHz test signal last-

ing a few tens of a millisecond; the test is repeated at intervals that can be set between 2.5 seconds and about 10 minutes

• Constant monitoring of the presence of the power supplies and of tripping of the protection

• LEDs for signalling the type of failure

• Levels of digital signals (0-5 V) for remotising failure signalling

• Possibility of connection to the P8006 remote controller by means of a serial line and power supply.

This module can be used to select from a remote location the constant voltage output lines up to a maximum of six. Control is possible with the B613 or B616 microphone bases, which have provisions for direct connection to the module (see Fig. A). When switching of the listening zones is required with no need for the microphone, this module can be connected to a normal six-way keypad by means of the connectors supplied with it.

8000 range • P8006 system control

The P8006 is capable of controlling up to 6 amplifiers at the same time and, if one of these fails, to replace it automatically with a stand-by unit. The P8006 unit has to be used with amplifiers of the 8000 range, which have drawers on the rear for housing the AC8050 or AC8051-B modules. With the AC8050 module it is possible to control the amplifiers, while with the AC8051-B module it is possible to control both the amplifiers and the loudspeaker line. When the AC8051-B module is used, if the failure of the module is due solely to the line, the P8006 unit will not replace the amplifier on the failed line. It will simply signal the failure by causing a LED to light up and activating a relay. In the event of simultaneous failure of more than one amplifier, the management program will arrange to include the stand-by amplifier in the place of the amplifier with the highest priority. The priorities are assigned at the time of installing the P8006 unit. The P8006 is extremely simple to program, since this is done by means of a guided menu and shown on an LCD. The operator has simply to move through the steps of the program using the three-key pad on the front panel of the unit and to select the required functions. The device can store up to the last 100 failure events, thus providing a historical data base that will prove useful for diagnosing any upsets in the sound-broadcasting system.

N A COMPLEX AUDIO CHAIN, THE MIXER IS

THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL CENTRE OF

THE VARIOUS SOUND SOURCES. IN THE GEN-

ERAL FIELD OF VOICE AMPLIFICATION (PA), A

PARTICULARLY DELICATE CASE IS WHEN THERE

ARE MANY MICROPHONES IN THE SAME

ROOM. IN AN “IDEAL” SITUATION, EACH

MICROPHONE SHOULD ONLY DETECT THE

VOICE OF THE SPEAKER, HOWEVER THIS

UNFORTUNATELY IS RARELY THE CASE. IN

PRACTICE, IN PARTICULAR WHEN MORE THAN

ONE MICROPHONE IS OPEN AT THE SAME

TIME, BACKGROUND NOISE AND REVERBERAT-

ED SOUND OFTEN ENTER THE MICROPHONE

TOGETHER WITH THE MAIN SIGNAL, LEADING

TO ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK (LARSEN EFFECT) AND

LOWERING THE LEVEL OF “CLEANNESS” OF

THE SPEECH. GENERALLY SPEAKING, TWO DIF-

FERENT SITUATIONS TYPICAL OF VOICE AMPLI-

FICATION WITH A NUMBER OF MICROPHONES

CAN BE FORESEEN. THE FIRST REFERS TO A

FAIRLY “EASY” ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT,

THAT IS TO SAY WITH LITTLE BACKGROUND

NOISE AND NOT MUCH REVERBERATION. THE

SECOND REFERS TO SITUATIONS IN WHICH

THESE PROBLEMS ARE PRESENT AND CREATE

DIFFICULTIES IN MANAGING THE MICRO-

PHONES. IN THE FIRST CASE A MANUAL MIXER

WILL BE SUITABLE, WHILE IN THE SECOND HAV-

ING AN AUTOMATIC MIXER AT DISPOSAL WILL

BE OF GREAT ADVANTAGE.

OPERATING MODES:

• MANUAL MODE: The mixer is used in the traditional manner; mixing of all the microphone lines and of the auxiliary input

is carried out manually by operating the relevant controls on the front panel.

• AUTOMATIC MODE: the equipment manages the eight microphone lines on its own, co-ordinating their activation and de-

activation electronically and ensuring compliance with any priorities that have been set and adapting the general output level on the basis of the number of lines activated.

In turn, the AUTOMATIC mode can be set for operation of the STATIC or DYNAMIC type, with the following differences:

• STATIC OPERATION: the level of the activation threshold can be set by the user separately for each microphone input.

• DYNAMIC OPERATION: the level of the activation threshold cannot be set by the user. Instead, it is managed automatically by the mixer. The threshold is compared moment by moment with the average level of the signals applied to the microphone inputs inside the equipment.

The PASO MX8033 pre-amplifier and mixer is a piece of equipment with advanced technical specifications. Its considerable versatility and simple use make it suitable for a vast range of professional applications. The good number of inputs at disposal, the possibility of further increasing their number, the PHANTOM power supply for electret microphones (such as the PASO MC200) and the various levels of microphone priority are just a few of the most important features of this product. The MX8033 mixer can be used as a traditional mixer for more than one microphone or to manage mini-conferences thanks to the various levels of the microphone precedence circuit. It is also possible to connect two or more MX8033 mixers in cascade formation to increase the total number of inputs at disposal. The SPEECH CORRECTOR filters deserve to be mentioned specifically since, unlike normal highpass filters, they introduce genuine equalisation, which emphasises the most important frequencies for the intelligibility of speech. The BASE IN input, with its automatic precedence circuit, completes the picture of the operating capacity of this equipment. The MX8033 mixer has provisions for housing an additional module inside it for tone control and one for generating a warning signal (CHIME).

The single-channel P8023 graphic equalizer has 31 adjustment steps of 1/3 of an octave, covering the range from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Typically, it is used in sound-reinforcement systems for acoustic off-setting of the rooms. This equipment can be used to suppress

acoustic feedback (Larsen effect). An important feature is the high number of adjustment steps with filters featuring a very narrow band, which enables a high precision in setting up the overall frequency response of the installation/room system.

FUNCTIONAL FEATURES:

• 31 one-third-of-an-octave graphic filters (covering the frequency range from 20 to 20,000 Hz)

• Possibility of choosing between use of balanced or unbalanced signals, both on the input and on the output

• 40 Hz subsonic (highpass) filter with slope of 12 dB/octave

• 16 KHz ultrasonic (lowpass) filter with slope of 12 dB/octave

• Excursion range of the filters selectable between ±6dB and ±12dB

• Bypass push-button for checking the effectiveness of the equalisation

• Signalling lamp for showing if the input/output levels are too high and, therefore, close to distortion

• Switch for selecting electric earthing (floating/frame)

• Protected switch for selecting between 115 or 230 VAC power supply, 50/60 Hz

• Automatic activation of the by-pass mode of the equipment if the power supply fails.

EXAMPLE OF INSTALLATION Typically, the P8023 graphic equalizer is positioned after the signal routing and just before the power units, so as to exploit in full both the high dynamics of the output signal and the many connection options (three different connector typologies and free choice between the use of balanced or unbalanced signals on both the input and the output). The position of the equipment within the broadcasting chain is shown in the following figure:

The P8024-B feedback controller is capable of reducing the effects of acoustic feedback between the speaker unit and the microphone (also known as the Larsen effect), by attenuating the frequencies that trigger off this effect. The effect is typical of sound-broadcasting systems that are obliged to have the microphones positioned within the same field of action as the speaker units (e.g. churches, congress halls). To this end, the unit has four band-eliminating filters, the central frequency and attenuation of which can be set independently, so that they can be easily centred on the frequencies causing the feedback. A peculiar feature of these filters is the bandwidth that is eliminated, i.e. one sixth of an octave, which is sufficiently narrow to alter the frequency response of the filter only to a minor extent but sufficiently wide to enable easy centring of the filter on the activation frequency. The equipment is easy to set up thanks to the display showing the spectrum of the output signal split up into eight frequency bands.

The integrated amplifiers of the 5000 range have 4 separate inputs. The first two are for microphones, electronically balanced, with Phantom power supply (internally excludable) and with professional XLR connectors equipped with mechanical retainers. The other two can be configured separately as microphone inputs (with or without Phantom power supply) or as balanced input lines, with front-panel level control. The connections can be made indifferently with male XLR plugs or 1/4” jacks. Two auxiliary inputs (CD and AUX) are provided for connecting music sources, with normalised input levels and dual RCA sockets for using standard stereo cables. If the system requires acoustic correction, it is possible to connect any equaliser or a feedback controller to the PRE OUT and POWER IN sockets after placing the LINK switch in the OFF position. The signal at the PRE OUT output socket can be used to drive possible power units and/or sent to a tape deck.

There is a special balanced input (TEL) on the seven-pole terminal strip, with a transformer and with automatic activation of top-priority precedence (VOX). The level control is on the rear panel. This input can be used to connect the unit to a telephone system or directly to PASO pre-amplified microphone stands. If two precedence terminals (PRIORITY) are short-circuited, this will automatically activate the warning signal (CHIME ON) and, in the case of integrated amplifiers, it will suppress the auxiliary signal that has been selected and input 4 (priority over this latter input can be de-activated internally).

One interesting function of this range is the presence of the “Music On Hold” outputs (MOH OUTPUT). The auxiliary signal selected (in the case of integrated amplifiers) or the input signal (in the case of power units) are always available, without being subject to precedence of any type. On the output terminal strip there are a balanced transformer line signal for connection to other equipment or to a PABX and one power signal for driving directly any 8 Ohm/1 W monitoring loudspeaker. The output level can be adjusted directly from the rear panel.

The 5000 range offers a high level of reliability, guaranteed by electronic protections against overload currents and overtemperatures of the power devices. With the exception of the 60 W model, all the equipment is provided with cooling fans with automatic control of the speed in relation to the temperature of the heat-sinks to which the power devices are connected.

The many configurations of the output lines (low-impedance and constant-voltage lines) provide the widest possible choice of the type and number of the speaker units. The amplifiers of the 5000 range feature the possibility of including/excluding up to three broadcasting zones separately by means of the switches on the front panel (ZONE 1, ZONE 2 and ZONE 3). The line voltage of the three zones can be easily selected on the basis of the type of connection. Activation of the various zones is confirmed by the associated signalling lamps lighting up.

AX3312 AX3306

3300 range • 230 VAC 12/24 VDC integrated amplifiers

The considerable flexibility of use of the AX3304, AX3306 and AX3312 amplifiers is ensured by the great variety of inputs and outputs: THREE balanced microphone inputs on XRL connectors (TWO inputs for the AX3304), with individually disconnectable PHANTOM power supply plus a frontpanel microphone input VOX priority, which is easier to use if the amplifier is installed in a cabinet. There are three auxiliary inputs (AUX, CD, Tuner) with suitable levels of sensitivity and impedance, for connection to various different sound sources. The required programme can be selected by means of a handy front-panel control. Thanks to the MOH function, the signal from the selected source is always available on the associated output, not subject to any priority, and is used to drive a PABX, a monitoring loudspeaker or an additional amplifier. The “PREC” contact can be used to activate microphone priority on the auxiliary sources, sending out the warning signal (Chime) at the same time. The large Vu-meter provides a clear indication of the power emitted and of any overload situations. The amplifiers have electronic protection against short-circuits on the loudspeaker line. Two practical front handles make them easy to carry and use. The AX3032 is particularly suitable for any small installation. It features an electronically balanced microphone input via an XLR socket that can also be enabled for use as a balanced TEL input by setting the switch provided for this purpose. A special circuit (VOX) detects the presence of an input signal and will automatically mute the PROG and AUX inputs. There is also an auxiliary input with a double PHONO socket for connection to the source of music, so that standard stereo cables can be used.

DLC 9000

The DLC9000 is a device for automatic control of the audio level of messages being broadcast in environments featuring variable background noise such as, for example, railway stations or department stores where the background noise in a crowded situation will be higher than in calm conditions. The DLC9000 automatic volume controller uses a microphone, supplied separately, to detect the environmental noise. The output of the controller is connected between the pre-amplifier and the power amplifier of the zone in question. The noise measuring device is extremely easy to configure and the various programming stages are easily called up on the menu provided on the 16-digit backlit display by means of only three push-buttons (Up/Down and Selection).

The DLC9000 has many innovative functions that make it easier to use in all sorts of system solutions:

• Night/Day: Enabling the unit to function with two completely different configurations, each gauged for specific noise conditions. Switching between Night and Day is achieved by means of a control with an external contact.

• Bypass (compatibility with sending of alarm and evacuation messages). In this mode, in case of failure both of the mains power supply and the 24 VDC power supply, the unit becomes transparent, allowing the input signals to pass through it. Activation of the by-pass function also enables evacuation messages to be sent out at the maximum power, regardless of the ambient noise.

• Sample stop. This function enables sampling of the ambient noise to be stopped while broadcasting messages.

• Maximum and minimum noise. The device enables automatic detection and storage of the maximum and minimum

noise levels, even for an unlimited period of time. This function simplifies the operations for calibrating the noise measuring device, since the presence of the operator is not required.

• Sample average. Adjustable integration of background noise.

• Excursion limits. Definition of the excursion range of the output signal

• Monitoring. The unit has an internal monitoring loudspeaker enabling the sound and noise coming from the microphone

to be monitored. The output level of the monitoring loudspeaker can be set or it can be excluded electronically via the menu.

• Service/user mode. In the “user” mode, only some set-up menus are available to the user. These do not enable the critical parameters of the system to be altered. In the “service” mode, all the set-up functions and modes are available for programming by specialised personnel.

Industrial amplifier

TIA120

Integrated amplifier made in the standard format that also enables it to be mounted inside a telephone type cabinet. The possibility of mounting it directly on a wall using the supporting plate provided for this purpose means that it can be applied in all situations characterised by a lack of space. It has 2 microphone inputs (one balanced with a transformer) with a dynamics compressor circuit, 1 balanced Aux input, a built-in Chime, day/night volume switching with adjustment of the night level. The amplifier has provisions for long-distance remote control of the MICRO 1 and AUX inputs. This function is enabled by means of electromechanical contacts that allow control from a long distance. Enabling of one or both of the inputs is signalled by a yellow light (ENABLE) on the front panel. To activate NIGHT ATTENUATION it is necessary to connect the +V point with the NIGHT point on the lower terminal strip, with a “dry” contact. This function is usually controlled by a timer. There is a “dry” ALARM contact on the lower terminal strip enabling local or remote monitoring of proper operation of the equipment. During normal operation of the amplifier (power-supply voltages present), the alarm contact is closed. In case of failure to function (lack of local mains, blowing of the equipment fuses, etc.), the ALARM contact will open. The ALARM contact can be connected to any signalling system activated by breaking a contact (e.g. burglar alarm). This specific function also enables continuity of the alarm lines to be kept under control.

Other Specific Features:

• Automatic precedence from Micro 2 with control of the activation level.

• Alarm relay.

• Duplication of the MICRO 1 and AUX inputs on external terminals.

• Input/output socket for chained connection of more than one amplifier or booster.

• Power supply: 220 VAC or 150 VAC (emergency).

• Constant-voltage output lines: 25 V, 50 V, 70 V, 100 V.

amplifiers

The amplifiers of the LAX range are designed specifically for transmitting sound by induction means, and their particular application is in sound-broadcasting systems for wearers of hearing aids. Most modern hearing aids have a two-position switch for positions M and T. The M position is for “normal” listening through the Microphone. The T (Telecoil) position is for receiving sound through induction means, using a special coil built into the device. The current amplifier, which is connected to the sound source, supplies an output current to a loop made of suitably insulated normal copper wire positioned appropriately (usually around the edge of the room). The audiofrequency current running through the coil generates a variable magnetic field within the room. This field is “induced” in the coil of the hearing aid. The coil acts as the secondary for a transformer, the primary of which consists of the current loop. The magnetic field is usually sufficiently strong to enable hearing-aid wearers to move around freely in the room, enjoying a comfortable listening all the time. The main advantage of this system as compared with others operating at radio frequency or infrared systems is that the sound reaches the user in an undistorted form with no noise, eco or reverberation from the room, and is therefore perfectly intelligible. The use of induction systems for hearing aids users is becoming increasingly widespread in public places such as theatres, churches, banks, schools, offices and so on, and is also useful in an increasing number of household applications, for connection to TV sets, radios, telephones and doorphones.

LAX • Current amplifiers

LAX800 • LAX450 • LAX200

The LAX800, LAX450 and LAX200 models form the professional range of PASO audiofrequency induction amplifiers. They feature a very high sound quality and are very flexible and easy to use, thanks to the numerous automatic controls and effective signalling of the operating mode by means of lamps. The models differ in terms of the area covered by the system. Conventionally, a rectangular

maximum

area covered is indicated, the longer side of which is double the shorter side.

The maximum size of this area for the various different models is as follows:

Model Max. area Long side Short side LAX800 800 sqm 40 m 20 m LAX450 450 sqm 30 m 15 m LAX200 200 sqm 20 m 10 m

It should be noted that the position of the loop and its direction, the presence of masses of metal, an irregularly shaped room and the presence of interfering magnetic fields can influence the working surface area for each model also to a significant extent. It is therefore always advisable to consult the PASO technical service for the best choice of equipment and of the type of loop to install.

FEATURES COMMON to all models:

• 2 microphone inputs on XRL connectors with disconnectable

Phantom power supply

• 1 XLR input with selectable Micro/AUX sensitivity

• Compressor/limiter that operates downstream from the

mixed inputs to prevent overloading of the current loop and automatically offsets the use of microphones with different output levels.

• Front-panel illuminated scale indicating the level of com-

pression.

• Output for monitoring correct operation of the system via a headset.

• Recording output and for connecting several systems in cascade configuration.

• Total electronic protection system.

• Signalling lamp indicating the “status” of the current loop

• Signalling lamp on front panel indicating the peak current.

• Protected controls for preventing accidental operation.

LAFSM01 Device for measuring magnetic fields

This device enables accurate measurement of the magnetic field within the area of the current loop, and therefore checking of the installation and scheduled maintenance. It has two measuring ranges. The LOW range is provided for measuring spurious magnetic interference generated by outside electrical systems and equipment. The HIGH range measures the useful signal. An “A-weighted” filter enables an accurate set-up of the system, eliminating the buzzing present in areas subject to strong electrical disturbance. The intensity of the magnetic field is indicated on a scale made up of 10 LEDs.

LARX01 Sample receiver

This can be used to listen to and monitor the programme being broadcast by means of a magnetic induction system. It has a highpass filter for removing any background buzzing generated by electrical equipment. It is supplied with its own headset.

LAX50

This is the smallest model of the PASO range, capable of covering an area of 50 square metres (5m x 10 m) at most. It is designed for panel or wall-mounting, and is particularly suitable for use with counter-type intercom systems or for connection to a household television set or in a board room. It has 2 mixed microphone inputs with a mixing ratio adjustable by means of a front-panel control. A special compression circuit, with a ratio that is variable dynamically from 1:1 to 20:1, protects against sudden noise peaks. The innovative design of the compressor enables automatic adjustment of the release times, so as to guarantee a high quality both of music and of speech. An automatic noise-suppression device lowers the level of background rustling of the lowest signals. A vast range of accessories making it easier to install in various places is available.

This equipment is capable of recording digitally up to 16 different messages and of storing them statically, with an overall maximum capacity of 240 seconds. The 16 messages are split up into two groups and the length of each message is defined by the user, who can thus manage the storage capacity of the equipment personally. Thanks to the separation of the memory into two separate blocks (group A and group B), and to the double audio output section, it is possible to broadcast two different messages at the same time. Each function can be managed either through the internal keypad or through an external keypad. In addition, each write or delete operation of the memory is protect by a code that can be customised by the user. A four-digit display and a loudspeaker, positioned inside the equipment, enable each function to be monitored in full. Each time a message is played out, it can be preceded by a warning signal (chime), the amplitude and tone of which can be adjusted.

microphones and microphone stands

These are ultra-slim surface microphones, with hemicardioid polar characteristic. They can be used on flat horizontal surfaces (tables, floors) or vertical surfaces (walls). Their special directivity feature means that the microphone reproduces the sound coming only from the front, within an angle of 60 degrees from the surface on which they are placed. They are mainly used, therefore, as microphones for conferences or discussions, religious ceremonies, access control and counters for the public. Each microphone is supplied with its own cable and container for the balancing transformer and for the electret polarising battery. For MC101-P and MC101-WP models, a 8-24 V Phantom power supply is required.

TURING VERY HIGH SENSITIVITY.

MC200

This pen type microphone, with hypercardioid polar characteristic, provides high working signal levels within a limited coverage angle, reducing the influence of surrounding noise to a minimum and effectively rejecting acoustic feedback (Larsen effect). It features a very extensive frequency response and is a typical studio microphone that can also be effectively used in critical situations requiring coverage of sounds coming from a certain distance away with minimum Larsen sensitivity. This microphone should be used together with Paso amplifiers and mixers, which provide the polarisation required by the electret (phantom) directly on the microphone input.

(WITH LIGHTED RING-NUTS).

Each of these consoles has its own high-gain pre-amplifier and dynamics compressor that eliminates the distortion due to high sound pressures applied to the microphone capsule. The pre-amplified signal, of which it is possible to correct the tone colour, is electronically balanced to enable correct operation even with longdistance audio links (1km). In addition to their zone-selection buttons (12, 24 and 32 respectively), each console has an All Call button and signalling lamps that light up to indicate the zones that have been selected. A built-in service relay enables customised functions such as the creation of pre-established levels of priority among a number of consoles, enabling/disabling of the base from outside (inclusion of a key switch) or control of external equipment (automatic message or alarm generators, etc.). The consoles also have provisions for mounting repeater coils for galvanic separation of the output lines, a warning-signal generator and a key-operated safety switch.

The wireless microphones of the MA155 range operating in the VHF and of the MA425 range (UHF band) were designed for use both in the music environment and for teaching and commercial applications. The unidirectional nature of the microphone capsule, which is of the dynamic type, reduces drastically any acoustic feedback problems, while the special suspension and the anti-hissing and anti-pop filter contribute towards eliminating interference caused by handling of the microphone and by the wind.

R170-TX Single channel VHF receiver with pilot tone

The VHF R170-TX receiver is made in a version for mounting in a 19” rack (by means of the optional brackets 27/2469) and can be used together with the transmitters of the MA153-TX and/or MA155-TX ranges. The squelching circuit and the pilot tone technique ensure reception without interference and, in particular, avoid “false hook-

ups” due to interference from signals of which the spectrum includes the carrier frequency of the wireless microphone system. The receiver uses special circuitry, complementary to the circuits used on the transmitter, enabling high dynamics and a better signal/noise ratio of the audio signal. The most common applications are those calling for its use in the rack of a sound-broadcasting system or conference system, in shopping centres, board rooms or in sports complexes, for comments.

“Diversity”

Microphone receiver

The R208-TX (VHF range) and R408-FX

(UHF range) receivers are of the “diver-

sity” type, with double antennas and a

high-speed level-discriminating circuit,

which automatically selects the aerial

with the strongest signal.

A squelching device, with adjustable

sensitivity, incorporates the system for

detecting and identifying the pilot tone.

In order to meet any needs for external

connections, the receiver has two out-

puts, one of which is balanced at micro-

phone level and the other is an

adjustable-level AUX output.

MANY PRESENT-DAY APPLICATIONS IN THE COMMERCIAL FIELD, IN CHURCHES, IN CONFERENCES, IN ENTERTAINMENT AND IN EDUCA-

TION REQUIRE THE SIMULTANEOUS USE OF SEVERAL WIRELESS MICROPHONES. PASO MULTIPLE SYSTEMS PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE AND

RATIONAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF MULTI-CHANNEL RECEPTION.

R234 and RD200-Fx “True Diversity” multi-channel VHF receiver

The R234 modular receiver is made in a version for mounting in a 19” rack and has four compartments for including four RD200-Fx “True Diversity” receiver modules with relevant front-control panels. Plugging in four modules with different frequencies (see frequency selection table) enables 4 signals from as many transmitters to be received simultaneously. The equipment can be connected to a mixer through the four independent outputs (adjustable separately) or through the high-level MIXED OUT mixed output. The main feature of this product is that it is a true double diversity receiver. This means that all the radiofrequency stages (aerial, aerial divider, front end, mixer, medium-frequency stages and demodulator) are duplicated. At the end, a comparator stage checks moment by moment which of the two chains has the best RF signal and selects the audio signal accordingly, this providing the best possible reception. By directing the two aerials appropriately and/or separating them from one another by means of the optional AC29-BNC accessory, it is possible to obtain “clean” reception even in difficult environmental situations.

The TCA40 double-amplified case provides a complete portable sound system featuring great flexibility of use. Its applications range from voice reinforcement for conferences, congresses, commercial presentations to voice and music broadcasting for exhibitions, sports events, religious ceremonies, meetings of associations and so on. Thanks to the wireless microphone system, to the cassette player and to the built-in battery, this system is suitable when equipment that is easily and readily used is required. The output provided by the amplifier is considerable, particularly when powered from the mains. The internal battery, that can be recharged by means of the internal “intelligent” recharging circuit, has

been sized to allow a good period of independent operation without making the equipment too heavy. The fact that it is easy to handle (the handle built into the top, for example, is easy to grasp naturally) combined with its compact size and the many settings make the TCA40 easy to use. Further possibilities of use are provided by the sockets for an external dynamic microphone, for auxiliary sound sources (compact-disc players, tuners, etc.) in addition to an external power supply and a supplementary speaker unit.

Portable amplified system

TA220 - F R X

The TA220-FRX mobile amplified system is a complete portable sound system. Its main use is for broadcasting voice and music at outside events with a large public (marches, processions, sports events, guided tours, exhibition events, etc.). The hand-held professional VHF wireless microphone included in the supply gives the speaker great freedom of movement, as he can move away from the amplified system for several dozen metres without prejudicing the quality and power of the signal. Two models with different frequencies are available (FR1=175.00 MHz and FR3=184.30 MHz ) to enable two TA220s to be used at the same time within the same area. A wired microphone input with a professional XLR socket with a retainer and an AUX input on an RCA stereo socket, with individual mixing adjustment, increase the versatility for use of the product with external sources (hand-held microphone, audio cassette player, portable CD, etc.). The provisions for mounting on the B10-N stand (included in the supply

) adds flexibility to the system, enabling it to be used as a fixed unit. The internal rechargeable battery has been sized to enable independent operation for a sufficient period of time without making the equipment too heavy. The power supply unit included in the supply takes care of “intelligent” recharging of the internal battery so as to optimise both performance and

duration. Another very important aspect which was taken into account in the design is the ergonomic aspect of the TA220. The special shoulder-strap fixing system and the positions of the controls make the equipment easy and comfortable to “wear”, with all the controls within easy reach.

Amplified lectern

SL1120-B

The amplified lectern is made of mat satin-finished wood, and its elegant shape will fit in with any interior decoration. The four large loudspeakers contained in the stand guarantee pleasant and uniform distribution of sound and speech. The double power supply (from mains and from the optional rechargeable batteries) enable it to be used both indoors and out of doors. The amplifier mixes the signals coming from the microphone of the lectern and from an auxiliary source (wireless microphone receiver, recorder, CD player, etc.) by means of independent level controls. An electronic automatic precedence device enables the music signal to be attenuated when the microphone signal is present. Tone control makes tone colour correction easier for acoustically difficult environments. On the top of the lectern there is a flexible stem with a vibration-damping support for a unidirectional dynamic microphone, included

in the supply.

C624-T 24W

Use of a solid walnut structure, together with the quality of the loudspeakers used, makes the C624-T column a particularly attractive speaker unit. It is suitable for installation in places of worship, conference halls, board rooms and so on in which, in addition to acoustic quality, refined and discreet aesthetic qualities that fit easily into the existing interior decoration are required. Thanks to the high directivity of the emission lobe, the C624-T sound column can even be used in acoustically “difficult” rooms. What is more, a “Speech-Enhancer” filter can also be plugged into the C624-T column by the user, to improve the intelligibility of speech in particularly critical acoustic conditions. The AC904 jointed support, included in the supply, makes installation extremely easy in any conditions.

These products feature a totally innovative technical concept and design. They consist of a basic metal structure that supports the various different components, and which can be secured to a false ceiling or to a panel by means of screws or of spring-type supports available as optional accessories. For the VES models, it can be secured in place by means of the special flameproof cap. The special attractive grilles, which can be chosen from among a whole range of models and colours are then snapped onto the basic structure. This means that there is a wide choice of combinations and customisation options to meet all sorts of technical and aesthetic require-

ments. The range proposed includes two basic structures: the C67 with a diameter of 196 mm, and the C68 with a diameter of 237 mm. Each of these two structures is available in a “standard” version for mounting with screws or (optional) spring supports or in the VES version, which includes a flameproof steel cap, a thermal fuse, ceramic terminals, an earthing plug and internal cabling consisting of flameproof cables. The VES versions (distinguished by the suffix –V) meet IEC60849 and BS5839/8 standards. Three different models of grille are available initially for each structure. These grilles, to be or

dered separately depending on the model that is chosen, are

available in RAL9003 white. Customised finishes and colours are available on request.
