3 About the product
The Sonix Hmi-26 is a Human Interface access panel
for connection into the Sonix PA/GA system. It provides
operators with the ability to interface with the system
to view status, active alarms and make announcements,
both routine and emergency speech. The units are
remotely confi gurable using the Sonix Administration
Software (SAS) with several features that can be tailored
to the needs of system installation.
The unit is an A and B duplicated unit with independent
and isolated circuits for A side and B side. Each side is
typically phantom powered from the PA/GA system rack
and has been designed to be a low power solution. The
unit occupies a standard 3U 19” rack footprint and can
be mounted separately or as part of a larger console
installation. It can also optionally be supplied with a
backbox to allow for mounting outside of a 19” rack.
