Multizone voice/music control system
The multi-zone system is particularly suitable for large and small
installations in which particularly reliable, versatile and practical
equipment is required. The simplicity with which the various different
units and the control bases can be connected to one another even
when far away (CAT 5 connections) makes sound-broadcasting inside
complex buildings effective and inexpensive, using both centralised
and/or local control units. Both the Master unit (
P8136
) and the Sla-
ve unit (
P8236
) enable management of up to six zones each. It is
possible to activate/de-activate music for each zone using the front-
panel switches provided for this purpose. The Master and Slave units
can be used for switching both line signals (one amplifier for each
zone) and the power signals (output from the amplifier, 100 V line). In
this latter case, it is possible to connect two amplifiers (one for mu-
sic and the other for speech, two-channel system) or a single voice/
music amplifier (single-channel system). To increase the power being
managed, the units have provisions for connecting two amplifiers for
speech (3 zones each) and two for music. Depending on the size and
configuration of the audio system, it is possible to use the Master and/
Master unit
FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OF THE P8136 • MASTER UNIT

With the multi-zone Master/Sla-

amplified desktop microphone sta-

or Slave units separately or connecting them to one another. The maxi-
mum system configuration envisages the use of 6 Master control units
connected to 30 Slave units (five for each Master), thus managing up
to 216 voice/music broadcasting zones. Up to 16
PMB106-G
and/
or
PMB112-G
microphone consoles can be connected to each unit.
Unlike the Slave unit, on the P8136 there are four inputs for auxilia-
ry sound sources with a selector switch and level control, two line
inputs with automatic priority activation (VOX) and four RJ45 inputs
for PMB106-G and/or PMB112-G call stations to be configured as
Masters and able to control all the zones in the system. The P8136
has provisions for inserting an optional
ACMG8136
card, needed for
automatic and/or manual broadcasting of pre-recorded messages.
ACIO8136
cards can also be connected to the same lines as the “lo-
cal” or “master” microphone stations. These are expansion cards with
one balanced line input and 6+6 programmable input/output contacts
and they can be used to send pre-recorded messages and/or the inco-
ming audio signal to the various different zones in the system.
