Overview

1.0 OVERVIEW 

1.1 INTRODUCTION 

This unit is a very versatile cost effective public address/background music control system which provides audio to up to 16 
zones. Background music which can be selected to play through any zone is muted when general paging occurs or when 
an evacuation input overrides the system.
Operation is as follows: 

Background music 

is piped to any zone which has been selected to have background music via switches on the front of 

the A 4585. 

General Paging (via optional A 4586 paging station)

 will mute the background music to the zone paged or all zones 

depending on the setup configuration. The paging audio will then feed to the selected zones.

A 4575 RJ45 Input

 mutes background music to all zones. This is a vox enabled input which can be adjusted via a vox 

sensitivity control. The audio from the A 4575 will then feed to all zones.

Evac Input

  mutes background music to all zones. This input has the same priority as the A 4575 RJ45 input. This input 

is a vox enabled dual RCA input adjusted via a vox sensitivity control. The audio from the Evac input will then feed to all 
zones.
