Vocia VA-8600c Vocia Multi-Channel Amplifier (EN54-16 Certified)

Scalable Multi-Channel Amplifier for High-Demand Audio Systems
The Vocia VA-8600c is a modular multi-channel amplifier designed for large-scale public address and emergency communication systems. This networked amplifier supports up to eight amplifier module cards, offering software-configurable power levels ranging from 100W to 600W per module. With a total maximum power of 2400W per chassis, it provides a powerful and flexible solution for various applications.

CobraNet-Enabled for Seamless Audio Networking
Designed for networked audio distribution, the VA-8600c utilizes CobraNet technology to deliver high-quality, low-latency digital audio. Two redundant Ethernet ports ensure fail-safe network connectivity, making this amplifier a reliable choice for mission-critical environments. Its digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities provide precise control over sound optimization and routing.

Comprehensive Failover Protection for Uninterrupted Performance
The VA-8600c offers advanced failover capabilities to maintain system integrity in the event of equipment failure. It supports multiple failover configurations, including device-to-device, channel-to-channel, and advanced redundancy modes such as 1:1, dual 3:1, and 7:1 failover (when used with the VFOM-1 module). These features ensure reliable operation in life-safety and emergency paging systems.

Customizable DSP and Emergency Messaging for Critical Applications
This amplifier includes built-in DSP processing for volume control, equalization, compression/limiting, crossover settings, and delay adjustments. Additionally, emergency messages are stored in non-volatile memory to ensure critical announcements can be broadcasted even in the event of a system failure. The VA-8600c meets EN 54-16 certification standards, making it a dependable solution for voice evacuation and mass notification systems.

LED Status Indicators and User-Friendly Configuration
Equipped with front-panel LED indicators, the VA-8600c provides real-time status updates on amplifier health, signal presence, thermal conditions, and fault detection. It also features rotary switches for easy device identification and setup. Configuration is managed through intuitive software, allowing seamless integration into Vocia networked systems.

Robust Construction with Modular Expansion Capabilities
The VA-8600c’s modular architecture allows for custom-tailored amplification solutions, accommodating a wide range of installations. Whether used for background music, paging, or emergency communication, its configurable power distribution and flexible output impedance (4Ω, 8Ω, 70V, or 100V) make it a versatile choice for any venue requiring professional-grade audio reinforcement.

TAA Compliance for Government and Enterprise Installations
Compliant with the U.S. Trade Agreement Act (TAA), the Vocia VA-8600c is approved for government and federal installations. Its combination of modular power, failover protection, and CobraNet connectivity makes it an ideal choice for large-scale audio applications in commercial, educational, and institutional environments.
