VOICE ALARM

Speech Management
Standard messages can be digitally stored and transmitted automatically or manually to the loudspeakers in an emergency or during tests and fire drills. The addition of one or two microphones caters for the ad-hoc situation and fire fighting operations. Messages are tailored specifically to each speech zone and several messages can be activated to alert and evacuate simultaneously.

Loudspeakers
Architects are often pre-occupied with the appearance of Loudspeakers whilst specifications focus on the basic need for intelligibility. New British standards provide measurable criteria for clarity and we ensure that the right results are achieved in harmony with the building acoustic and interior design.

Fire Protection
An evacuation system must keep working for at least 30 minutes under a fire condition. This means that essential control equipment must be kept away from the immediate fire risk and cabling to microphones and loudspeakers must have fire protection.

Alarm Tones
The best public response is achieved by a mixture of speech and tones. Any sound such as a fire bell or klaxon can be stored on a message card to be interspersed with the spoken word for rapid and effective evacuation. All messages and tones can be repeated, cycled and overridden to fit the series of events that accompany a major hazard.
