The Vocia® VA-8600 is a digital networked multi-channel amplifier for use in Vocia® systems. The VA-8600 is CobraNet® enabled and can support up to eight AM-600 modular amplifier cards. These are insectionidually software configurable from 100â600 Watts per channel up to a maximum of 2400 Watts of power per chassis. 70V, 100V and low-impedance outputs are software selectable per card. The amplifiers can be configured for channel-to-channel or device-to-device failover. The amplifier uses comprehensive fixed-chain digital-signal processing within the device, including volume control, ducking, equalization, compressor/limiter, speaker crossover, delay, and output gain.
Emergency messages for life-safety compliant systems are stored in non-volatile memory within the VA-8600. Intuitive software provides audio system design via PC. Two RJ-45 connectors on the rear panel of the VA-8600 provide redundant connectivity to control data and audio over a single Ethernet cable and caters for an optional page active relay or dual 3:1 / 7:1 failover module.
The Vocia VA-8600 complies with the United States Trade Agreement Act (TAA), allowing it to be included in GSA Schedule contractorsâ sales bids for the U.S. federal government.
