VOCIA 8-CHANNEL LIVE AUDIO INPUT DEVICE (VI-8)
The Vocia 8-Channel Live Audio Input Device (VI-8) is designed to facilitate the use of live audio Paging to Emergency and Non-emergency

audio connections
from external systems. Eight General Purpose Inputs and Outputs are provided and can be assigned to Control Events in the Vocia system.
The interface allows live, real-time audio Paging to any assignable Page Code or Zone within the Vocia World. The Status In and Status Out
