Sonix 2Mx Technical Manual

SONIX 2MX TECHNICAL MANUAL  

TM370 / A  June 2022  www.eaton.com

9  Customisation

While every effort has been expended to make 

the standard Sonix PA/GA system configuration, 

this might not cover every requirement. To this end 

customisation of the 2Mx, and any part of the Sonix 

eco-system, should be discussed with your local Eaton 

representative. 

Certain features are considered as requiring 

customisation by default.

9.1  IO audio and zoning

Currently the zoning for the Sonix Io unit is held within 

the 2Mx firmware, please contact your local Eaton 

representative to discuss options. This includes BGM 

zoning.

9.2  Alarm Tones

Customisable alarm tones are possible, please contact 

your local Eaton representative to discuss options.

Due to the way alarm tone audio is generated within 

Sonix 350-d Amplifier, it is not possible to ‘mix’ multiple 

tones simultaneously. Similarly, Sonix is not able to 

provide volume adjustment to full volume alarm tones, 

except by utilising attenuated alarm.

9.3  Important message over Alarm volume

The volume of Alarm Tone that is mixed into the 

Emergency Speech broadcast is set to approximately 

12dB lower than the normal Attenuated Alarm. This 

value can be customised to one of the following: 1.1, 

2.5, 4, 6, 8.5, 12 or 18dB.

ote: 

N

Higher values limit the maximum level of Alarm Attenuate that 

can be used before the volume difference is lost.

 

9.4  Program fault

The program fault, or minor fault, is a signal generated 

from a sub-set of the available system faults and 

transmitted out of the PA/GA system via the Sonix Io 

unit.

The list of standard faults available is as follows:

• 

Amp Line fault

• 

Beacon Line fault *

• 

Amp Data Fault

• 

Hmi 1 Data Fault

• 

Hmi 2 Data Fault

•

• 

Power Data Fault

• 

Sync Data Fault

• 

Global Data Fault

• 

Amp Audio Fault

• 

Hmi 1 Audio Fault

• 

Hmi 2 Audio Fault

• 

IO Audio Fault

• 

Sync Audio Fault

• 

Global Audio Fault

• 

Amp Equipment Fault

• 

Hmi Equipment Fault

• 

Beacon Equipment Fault *

• 

Power Equipment Fault

• 

IO Equipment Fault

• 

MS12 Equipment Fault

• 

Pbx-Tu Equipment Fault

• 

Matrix Fault

• 

Sync Equipment Fault

Items marked with a * comprise all available beacon 

faults and are considered standard output functionality. 

ote: 

N

This can be customised to support any combination of the listed 

faults, please contact your local Eaton representative to discuss.
