The EVAC-500 voice evacuation system is EN54-16 certified public address & voice evacuation system. The all in one 
voice alarm & evacuation controller built-in remote PC software, zone paging controller, all main signal line monitoring, 
amplifier changeover, speaker line supervision, power supply monitoring and power amplifier, voice recorder, SD card, 
emergency microphone and fire alarm interface. The voice evacuation controller is innovated with DSP (digital signal 
processor) to ensure its hi-fi audio performance and superior signal processing in case of commercial announcement 
and emergency evacuation. Each controller built-in 6 zone speaker outputs, rated power output at 500W or 240W. The 
voice evacuation controller shall be pre-set through the supplied software over microphone number, zone number, zone 
loading,  speaker  monitoring,  fire  alarm  mode,  alert/EVAC  message  zone  output,  AC/DC  etc,  then  synchronized  the 
setting  to  master  controller  and  router.  The  voice  evacuation  system  is  strictly  follow  the  Construction  products
