"In Memorial Hospital North we've installed Rauland-Borg's Nurse Call system - one of the most flexible systems available," said Michael Hester, managing partner, Beacon Communications. "It allows the hospital operators to quickly and easily ring a station or call a particular nurse. But we also wanted to supplement this system with a powerful audio processor to ensure that each page is heard clearly and at even volume levels that wouldn't disturb patients or disrupt important procedures. We worked very closely with the consultants on this project, Technology Plus, and have developed a system that we feel sets a new standard for paging."
The system is comprised primarily of Biamp components, including a single AudiaFLEX CM with four TI-2 telephone interface cards, two IP-2 mic/line input cards and six OP-2e mic/line output cards. This single chassis drives six Biamp CPA650 amplifiers and 12 DT-4 transformers for 25-volt operation - the standard for Memorial Hospital's audio system. This distribution system sends signals to the Lowell LT805-72BB cone-type, 4W speakers in most areas.
