HPSA-3100 Series
High Power Speaker Array
Provides crisp, intelligible voice and tone warnings over large
outdoor coverage areas, where immediate notification is
essential.
Description
WAVES High Power Speaker Arrays (HPSA-3100 Series)
broadcast intelligible voice messages and tones, covering large
geographic areas. This outdoor Wide-area Mass Notification
System (MNS) features industry-leading intelligibility using
advanced amplification system design. Whether deployed on a
static pole, affixed to a building, mounted on a rooftop, or operated
as a mobile unit (Mobile High Power Speaker Array - MSA), the
HPSA can function autonomously or as an integral component of
the WAVES MNS. These Giant Voice speaker arrays ensure that
you get the right message to the right person at the right time.
The HPSA-3100 Series delivers announcements originating from
WAVES Integrated Base Station (IBS) via a TRX-401 transceiver,
operating at 2.4 GHz RF band using Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS). It provides a cost-effective communications
network that does not require hard-wiring of your site, simplifies
deployment with pre-licensed frequency and provides redundant
communications with no single point of failure.
Features & Benefits
• Highly intelligible live and pre-recorded voice and tone announcements with streaming digital audio for higher quality sound via secure wireless links.
• Energy- and cost- efficient advanced amplification system
- Enables lower current draw and increased battery life,
requiring fewer speakers and significantly less power for a
substantially larger range (see specifications)
• Continuous emergency operation regardless of primary
power outage; Solar back-up capable
• Omni-directional and directional speaker coverage options
HPSA-3106 Omni-directional
HPSA-3108 Omni-directional
Applications
• Multi-use applications - The HPSA can function as a mass
notification, emergency communications, personnel notification,
and citizen warning system for natural or man-made disasters.
It can also be used for training and exercises, general
announcements, crowd control and special events.
