AtlasIED X-ZPS – Atmosphere Zone Paging Station with Touchscreen

Product Overview

The AtlasIED X-ZPS is a dedicated zone paging station for the Atmosphere AZM and AZMP distributed audio platforms. It combines a 4.3-inch color touchscreen with an integrated 16-inch gooseneck microphone, giving operators a purpose-built interface for zone paging, all-call announcements, and custom group paging without requiring a separate paging console. As a plug-and-play Atmosphere accessory, the X-ZPS also provides system control functions including volume adjustment, source selection, and message recall, making it the right choice for commercial AV deployments that require reliable, staff-operated live paging capability.

Product Description

The X-ZPS integrates directly into the Atmosphere accessory bus, connecting to an AZM or AZMP processor via Cat 5e or better cabling over the standard RJ-45 accessory interface. Up to 8 accessories can be daisy-chained on a single accessory port, with reliable audio and data transmission over 1,000 feet per port. The X-ZPS uses the push-to-talk model: the operator selects destination zones or groups on the touchscreen, presses the push-to-talk button, and speaks into the gooseneck microphone. The 4.3-inch color LCD touchscreen provides a clear, accessible interface for selecting zones, recalling scheduled messages, adjusting source levels, and navigating system controls.

Zone paging, all-call paging, and custom group paging are all supported natively through the Atmosphere platform configuration, allowing system designers to define zone groupings and access permissions during commissioning. The X-ZPS is particularly well-suited for large commercial spaces, corporate facilities, healthcare environments, and educational campuses where staff need a fixed, dedicated paging point rather than a mobile or software-based solution. The flexible 16-inch gooseneck microphone provides accurate voice pickup across a range of operator heights and desk configurations. The RJ-45 input and output connectors on the bottom of the console support clean in-wall cable routing. The X-ZPS carries a 3-year warranty from AtlasIED and is compatible with all current Atmosphere AZM and AZMP processors.
