The VA-8600 is a digital networked multi-channel amplifier for use in Vocia® systems. The VA-8600 is CobraNet® enabled and features eight channels of modular amplification and DSP with optional channel-to-channel or device-to-device failover. It can support up to eight amplifier cards that are individually software configurable from 100 - 600 Watts for up to 2400 Watts of power per chassis. 70V, 100V and low-impedance outputs are software selectable per card. The on-board DSP provides comprehensive fixed-chain digital-signal processing within the device, including volume control, ducking, equalization, compressor/limiter, speaker crossover, delay, and output gain. Emergency messages for life-safety compliant systems are stored in non-volatile memory within the VA-8600. Intuitive software provides audio system design via PC. Two RJ45 connectors on the rear panel of the VA-8600 provide redundant connectivity to control data and audio over a single Ethernet cable.
Modular based design
Amplification modules have software configurable power levels/load options - 8 amplification modules per frame with 100 to 600 Watts per module (maximum of 2400W per chassis) - 70V or 100V with direct drive capability, or low-impedance (4 or 8O) operation
Failover capability between channels and amplifiers
Local non-volatile storage of emergency messages
LED Indication: - Amplifier failure - Clip present - Fan stuck-rotor - Heat sink temperature fault - Signal Peak - Signal present
Software Monitoring Features: - Amplifier failure - Excessive clipping - Fan stuck rotor - Heat sink temperature fault - Peak present - Short circuit on output
Software-configurabl
e signal processing including volume control, filters, compressor/limiting, delay, speaker equalization, and output sensitivity
CobraNet audio and control data over a single Ethernet cable
Dual Ethernet ports for redundancy
Heavy duty removable terminal block connectors for speaker line connections
Rotary switches for unit identification
Rack mountable (3RU)
CE marked, UL listed & RoHS compliant
Covered by Biamp Systems' warranty
