Network audio riser source
The EAEC Emergency Audio Evacuation Controller Card is the source of the network audio riser. Available audio
sources are local and remote voice page functions. An integral tone generator database is provided for EVAC,
Alert and other functions. Alternately, the EAEC integral digital voice message playback unit can simultaneously
provide multiple prerecorded messages that may be assigned to any channel.
The network audio riser consists of a single pair (Class B) or two pairs (Class A / Class X) of wires connect all
amplifiers together. The multiplexer within the EAEC converts and compresses the real time audio signal and
converts it to a digital format. The output of the digital message playback unit and the integral tone generator
database is already in the digital format. The signal sources in digital format are then combined together as
selected by the system designer using a multiplexer. All command and control signals for the audio system are
distributed over the network data riser.
