Vocia VA-8600 Vocia Multi-Channel Amplifier

Modular Multi-Channel Amplifier for Scalable Audio Applications
The Vocia VA-8600 is a highly configurable digital networked amplifier designed for demanding public address and paging environments. Supporting up to eight modular amplifier cards, this chassis provides a scalable solution for installations requiring flexible amplification power. Each amplifier module is software-configurable from 100W to 600W, delivering a total maximum power of 2400W per chassis.

CobraNet Networking for Seamless System Integration
Equipped with CobraNet digital audio technology, the VA-8600 enables high-quality networked audio distribution while maintaining precise control over amplification settings. Dual Ethernet ports provide redundant connectivity, ensuring reliable performance in mission-critical applications. The amplifier seamlessly integrates with Vocia paging stations, message servers, and emergency interfaces.

Comprehensive Failover for Maximum System Reliability
The VA-8600 offers multiple levels of failover protection to ensure uninterrupted operation. It supports device-to-device, channel-to-channel, and advanced failover configurations, including 1:1, dual 3:1, and 7:1 failover (with the VFOM-1 module). This level of redundancy makes it an excellent choice for life-safety and emergency communication systems.

Advanced Digital Signal Processing for Optimal Sound Control
With built-in DSP processing, the VA-8600 provides precise audio control, including volume adjustment, equalization, compressor/limiting, speaker crossover, ducking, and delay settings. Each amplifier module supports 70V, 100V, or low-impedance operation, which can be configured via software, allowing maximum flexibility in system design.

Emergency Message Storage for Life-Safety Compliance
For environments requiring emergency notifications, the VA-8600 features non-volatile local storage for pre-recorded emergency messages. This ensures that critical announcements can be broadcasted even in the event of network failure. Its compliance with EN 54-16 standards makes it an ideal choice for emergency paging and evacuation systems.

Heavy-Duty Construction with Rack-Mountable Design
Designed for professional installations, the VA-8600 features a robust 3RU chassis with removable terminal block connectors for secure speaker line connections. The front panel includes LED indicators for amplifier health, signal presence, thermal conditions, and fan operation, providing at-a-glance system status updates.

TAA Compliance for Government and Enterprise Applications
The Vocia VA-8600 meets U.S. Trade Agreement Act (TAA) requirements, making it eligible for federal and government installations. Its scalable architecture, failover capabilities, and network redundancy make it a trusted solution for large-scale public address and paging applications.
