Two new D-class amplifiers the BV125D (dual 125 watt) and BV225 (225 watt) will be introduced at the show. Replacing the BV220 (220 watt) and the BV120D (dual 120 watt) the new units are more cost-effective and, together with the BV050Q (quad 50 watt) amplifier, the range provides a complete solution from the smallest to the largest voice alarm system, says the company.
Unitouch is a touchscreen paging system which is becoming an increasingly popular method of control for complex or large voice alarm systems. Displaying either a full graphic layout view of the site or buttons representing zones/areas, the system enables simple intuitive control.
The BFM404 is the four zone version of Baldwin Boxall's fire officers microphone. Housed in an IP66 lockable enclosure the robust, fist held microphone is used by firemen or those in control during an evacuation or other emergency.
The BVRD range of microphone controllers has been designed specifically for the voice alarm market and will interface with any of Baldwin Boxalls VIGIL routers. There are eight versions in the range from 8-zone up to 64-zone. LCD panel displays provide a clear indication of each zone, name, input source and fault status. The microphone has red buttons for emergency messages (operated by a key switch), programmable function keys and message display enabling the operator to scroll through and select from the messages available. Feature-rich and simple to operate the BVRD range is an excellent choice for voice alarm control.
VIGIL Omnicare Emergency Voice Communication (EVC) system is well-established and has been installed in many sites in the UK and Europe.
A visit to Baldwin Boxall's Plug & Socket stand at PLASA (number ISCE1) is worth the effort because, in addition to all the above, the staff will be happy to serve you a cool glass of Harveys ale.
