While supping on Harveys Real Ale, visitors to the Plug & Socket will be able to see a demonstration of the new BVRD2M4 mini router and the new BVRD voice alarm controller. Also on the stand will be the OmniCare emergency voice communication system.
The BVRD2M4 Mini four zone voice alarm router retains many of the features of the well established EVAS BVRD2M router. However, it is small enough to fit alongside a VIGIL2 amplifier and power supply in one 19 mainframe.
The unit's four electronically balanced inputs have both independent priority and level settings, allowing for dual mode. Input one is configurable to bypass the processor with an all call facility.
All four outputs have 10 band parametric equalisation with audio delay, the inputs have three band (plus bass and treble) equalisation; providing a high degree of audio processing and enhancing intelligibility.
Features include: built-in real time clock, six flash stored messages, automatic amplifier changeover, ambient noise sensing, decentralised networking, fully configurable using USB2 connection and many more.
The BVRD microphone controller has been designed specifically for the voice alarm (VA) market and will interface with Baldwin Boxalls VIGIL2 routers. The BVRD performs as a paging microphone, fire microphone or an emergency all call microphone.
The new microphone controller features LCD screens to indicate zone name, input source and fault status. There is also a screen which allows the user to scroll through pre-recorded messages stored on the EVAS router.
