The PAVIRO Public Address and Voice Evacuation System from Bosch now offers users new hardware and software features for enhanced usability and for use in larger applications. Using IP technology, PAVIRO provides a highly flexible, reliable and secure system solution with low latency. As installers can use existing networks in the building infrastructure, relying on IP technology also results in faster installations and lower implementation costs. Furthermore, PAVIRO can be interconnected with other devices such as PCs or laptops over IP protocol, allowing for efficient remote control, diagnostics and maintenance via the Internet.

The PAVIRO Public Address and Voice Evacuation System IP functionality and connectivity is achieved via the Dante network interface module (OM-1) from Bosch. Now it is possible to create a 16-channel Dante audio network between the individual controllers. Bosch says this IP networking architecture allows users to create multi-controller network topologies for larger areas via up to four de-centralized controllers. At the maximum configuration level, the PAVIRO system can now address up to 984 zones with a total of 164,000 watts of amplifying power in one system, making the system suitable for bigger installations in which a large number of zones and loudspeakers are needed. It also caters to existing installations whenever the infrastructure of a building changes and additional rooms have to be addressed. In addition, the network configuration provides redundant channels for safety purposes – in case of an emergency these channels will always work for evacuation signals, even if a controller loses network communication.

PAVIRO is a Public Address and EN 54-certified Voice Evacuation System and here are the details.
