The PA-15 is a power-packed and versatile paging amplifier capable of driving up to fifteen 8 Ohm ceiling speakers or paging horns.
“Our goal with the PA-15 was to give customers flexibility when upgrading a paging system or phone system – being able to interface with a wide array of analog ports gives customers the ability to design the system they want, not just the one they can afford.” – James Catt, Engineer, Viking Electronics, Inc.
The PA-15 is a 15 Watt amplifier compatible with 8 Ohm speaker systems. Up to fifteen 8 Ohm speakers like Viking’s model 40AE ceiling speaker or 300AE paging horn can be powered with no additional devices. The PA-15 has a line level output for connecting to existing or larger amplifiers like Viking model PA-30 and PA-60, which are also capable of 25 and 70 Volt paging.
Voice paging with the PA-15 can be done from three common types of connections: an analog station (FXS) port, analog trunk (FXO) port, and a traditional (600 Ohm) paging port. Adjustable dip switches on board the PA-15 allow you to select the compatible port. This is especially useful when working with ATAs, or other types of phone adapters common with today’s VoIP SIP phone systems.
In addition to voice paging, the PA-15 can mix in a background music source, loud ringing, night bell over paging and a door chime. These audio sources will be muted during a voice page, and have individual volume controls.
