Expand Existing Paging Systems and
Add Remote Control to the New Speakers
Features
The Viking
SA-X12
expander / adapter is an
economical way to expand an existing paging
system, while adding remote control to the new
speakers. The
SA-X12
can be connected to any
existing paging audio source including 600 ohm
line level, 4, 8, or 16 ohm speaker level, or even
25 volt and 70 volt paging systems. It can also be
connected directly to the 2-wire protocol (40VDC
+ Audio) of another
SA-X12
or the Viking
SA-25
paging controller to add even more self amplified
speakers.
The
SA-X12
takes audio from any paging or
background music source, and combines it with 40
volts DC to run Viking self amplified speakers. The
added Viking
SA Series
speakers will have the
features of the existing paging system, plus have
the added feature of being remote controllable.
The
SA-X12
can directly drive up to 12 Viking self
amplified speakers which include the model
SA-1S
self amplifier ceiling speaker, and the
SA-1H
self
amplified paging horn. Viking self amplified
speakers have these advantages: 1) Audio and
power are on the same pair (less copper). 2)

speakers

VIKING
Power is 40VDC for lower current and smaller
gauge wire (less copper then older 4-wire 24 volt
systems). 3) Non-Polarity sensitive for easier
wiring. 4) Each speaker is infrared remote
controllable so there is no need to install volume
controls on the walls, or climb up ladders to adjust
the volume.
The
SA-IR
Infrared Remote and
SA Series
speakers are available separately.
