Biamp Vocia VI-6 Networked Audio Input Expansion - 911.0247.900
Product Overview
The Biamp Vocia VI-6 is a networked audio input expansion device that adds up to six channels of background music or user-defined audio to a Vocia paging and audio system. It brings line and microphone inputs, local DSP, and control I/O into the Vocia network. It suits government spaces, commercial meeting spaces, and multi-purpose facilities that need additional audio sources for paging and background music. Primary keyword: networked audio input expander; long-tail: Vocia audio input expansion, CobraNet input device, paging system music input.
Product Description
The VI-6 adds up to six channels of background music or user-defined audio to a Vocia system and, as part of the Vocia platform, meets paging requirements for facilities of all sizes. It provides four sets of dual RCA connectors plus terminal-block connectors for line-level inputs, two microphone/line inputs with phantom power, and four control inputs and four control outputs. Software-configurable local signal processing includes gain, filters, and a compressor/limiter. The device is powered over Ethernet, carries CobraNet audio and control with dynamic use of available bundles, and provides rotary switches for unit identification and status LEDs for signal and clip. It is CE marked and RoHS compliant and covered by Biamp Systems' five-year warranty.
