DESCRIPTION 

The GXT 4000 microphone console is a touch screen console. It has from 16 up to 64 programmable 

soft  keys  for  making  PA  broadcasts  into  selected  areas  or  zones.  It  is  designed  to  operate  over  a  bus 

architecture, meaning that several consoles can be used over the same network, while collectively occupying just 

one single audio channel. In fact, the consoles are self-regulating, with audio channel priority always being given 

to the first console that picks up the channel. The main part of the console may be flush fitted or mounted on its 

own swivel base for tabletop use. 

The GXT 4000 console comes complete with: 

an electret microphone,

a touch screen for setting and selecting zones,

a memory card reader for broadcasting pre-recorded messages,

a loudspeaker for monitoring announcements, etc.,

a fail soft switch with protective hood,

a stylus.

It may be used to: 

view the degree of occupancy of the network’s zones,

broadcast an announcement into one or more zones.
