Introduction
PRIMA-VA/R is a compact PAVA controller that offers 6 monitored speaker zones or 5 monitored speaker
zones with back-up amplifier. This controller is integrated with 6 high efficiency Class-D amplifiers built-
in and is capable of handling 80 Watts speaker load per zone which provides ease of system wiring and
installation.
PRIMA-VA/R is based on advanced audio digital signal processing (DSP), matrix control functions and
a digital message player, with front access for a fully monitored fireman microphone and emergency
message trigger buttons. The controller integrates our latest technology « Flexcontrol » providing you a
huge potential for system configuration. Different types of settings can be freely assigned to the 6
potentiometers located in front of the unit.
The controller has 8 monitored logic control inputs, 8 relay outputs, 2 interfaces for PSS-G2 paging
consoles, 2 balanced audio inputs which allow to connect audio sources such as music player and HF
microphone, 1 audio output for Third Party Control, 1 Ethernet port for audio streams and Vox@Net
connection and 6 independent 80 Watts / 100 Volts outputs. A XLR 5 pin connector is available on front
panel for the optional monitored fireman microphone PRIMA-VA/FM.
Thanks to its IP connectivity, PRIMA-VA/R enjoys extreme flexibility. It communicates with the entire
range of Audio over IP products Vox@, as well as the audio server software Vox@Net, allowing
interconnections among several units or with remote sources and endpoints. From a single solution to
an IP networked application, PRIMA VA system easily adapts to a wide range of your applications.
PRIMA-VA/R can be easily set up thanks to its web browser, for both “Basic” and “Advanced”
configurations. Several parameters, such as volume control, priorities, source selection, etc., can be
configured from the web server.
As a Voice Evacuation System, PRIMA-VA/R is certified to the EN54 standard. All its components and
peripherals are constantly monitored, and all incidents (faults and alarms) are recorded in a historical file
that can be viewed on a PC.
