TOA Electronics 4-Channel Level Converter - Q-N8000LC-AM

The TOA Q-N8000LC-AM is a 4-channel level converter accessory for the N-8000RS or N-8010RS Substation Interface Unit in TOA's N-8000 Series IP-compatible intercom and PA systems. It converts each channel's interface unit output into one of three selectable signal types—a 25V speaker output (1W), a bypass of the original N-8000/8010RS signal, or a line-level output (+9dBV max)—using a dedicated three-position slide switch per channel. This enables integrators to drive 25V distributed speakers, feed line-level inputs on amplifiers or mixers, or pass the signal unchanged, all from a single compact adapter.

Weighing just 31g and measuring 69×39×28mm (not including output connectors), the Q-N8000LC-AM installs compactly alongside the N-8000RS or N-8010RS. Eurostyle terminal connectors on the input side accept the interface unit signal directly; removable 3-pin output terminals (supplied with the N-8000/8010RS) provide clean, field-serviceable connections for each of the four output channels.

Typical Applications

• Schools and universities using TOA N-8000 Series intercom to distribute audio to classroom or hallway ceiling speakers via 25V SP output
• Hospitals routing intercom audio to corridor or ward speakers without additional amplifiers
• Office buildings feeding line-level outputs to zone amplifiers or paging systems in hybrid N-8000 installations
• Transit facilities converting intercom output for platform speakers or public address zones
• Security installations where original RS bypass output is needed for monitoring or recording devices

FAQ

• What interface units is the Q-N8000LC-AM compatible with? It is designed for use with the TOA N-8000RS and N-8010RS Substation Interface Units in the N-8000 Series system.
• What are the three output mode options? SP (Speaker Output: 1W @ 25V), RS (Bypass: passes the original N-8000/8010RS signal), and LN (Line Level: +9dBV max), selected independently per channel via slide switch.
• Can each channel be set to a different output mode? Yes — each of the four channels has its own three-position slide switch for independent mode selection.
• Are output connectors included? Output connectors (removable 3-pin terminals) are supplied with the N-8000RS or N-8010RS interface unit; they are not included separately with the Q-N8000LC-AM.
• How compact is it? It measures just 69 × 39 × 28 mm (not including output connectors) and weighs 31g, making it well suited for tight equipment spaces.
• Is it required for N-8000RS or N-8010RS operation? No — it is an optional accessory that adds output format flexibility for integrators needing 25V speaker feeds or line-level outputs from the interface unit.
