Featured Systems
Praesideo VA by Bosch
Praesideo by Bosch is a multi-use digital public address and emergency sound application – suitable for use in large environments such as airports and shopping centres. It can be used for public announcements, scheduled events, background music and voice evacuation, with superb sound quality, and absolute clarity. It is fully compliant with EN54-16 and ISO 7240-16 standards.
The system is easy to configure, either locally or remotely, and provides immediate system changes. Logging software tracks information from multiple systems and can be accessed from anywhere, for off-site diagnostics and monitoring.
Customise to Suit.
Praesideo Bosch offers a high level of digital integration. Additional functionality is available when customising a Praesideo system, such as integrating numeric keypads for use with access codes, or adding software-driven interfaces, such as PC Call Station, for remote management of announcements and other events.
Rather than having all system elements connected to central controller like traditional PA systems Praesideo uses a network configuration – this ‘daisy chain’ network topology means system elements can be connected or added at a later date to virtually any point.
Built in Redundancy.
The Praesideo system elements are connected via an interference free fibre optical network this allows equipment to be located wherever it’s needed. Optical technology also lets the system span greater distances without loss of audio quality. A redundant loop is created by connecting the network ends together, so any break in the fibre cable doesn’t affect operation – an important consideration in an emergency system.
Automatic switching to spare power amplifiers in the system is also possible if equipment operation is disrupted.
