TOA Electronics Audio Interface Unit - N-8000AF CU

Product Overview

The TOA N-8000AF CU is an audio interface unit for the N-8000 packet intercom system, extending an IP-network intercom with analog audio I/O and contact control. Connected to the LAN, it enables conversation recording, scheduled chime broadcasts, and paging across the intercom network. Eight contact inputs and eight contact outputs let it tie the intercom system into sensors, indicators, and building equipment.

Product Description

The N-8000AF CU adds flexible interfacing to a TOA N-8000 IP intercom system using packet audio technology. Its analog audio input and output allow external sources and destinations to join the network audio path, while eight contact inputs and eight contact outputs provide the control connections needed for integrated paging and automation. Functions include recording of conversations, chime broadcast at regular intervals for time signals, and paging broadcast to connected stations. The unit installs in a standard equipment rack and operates from an AC mains supply, making it a practical interface point for larger intercom and paging deployments. Because it is part of the N-8000 platform, it works alongside master stations, exchanges, and other interface units across the IP network.
