DIGITAL ANNOUNCERS

DESCWPHON

TOAs EV-350P and EV-350R Digital Announcers feature highly
efficient digital compression technologies that record and play back
public address announcements, signal tones, and background music.
(The EV-350P is for playback only, while the EV-350R can be used for
both recording and playback.)

The ATAfiash memory card (Type [I PCMCIA/JEIDA) is used for audio
signal recording, and up to two cards can be simultaneously installed.
This frees the Digital Announcer from tape wear caused by abrasion of
the tape and recording head, which is often a problem for analog tape
playback and recording devices, thus ensuring no loss of sound
quality. In addition, because there are no rotating or driving sections,
no maintenance of these parts is needed.

The Digital Announcers operating voltage is 110 V-120 VAC or
220 V-240 VAC . Because both models are also equipped to operate
on 24 VDC as well, they can be used even during power failures.

FEATURES

Recording

0 Such sound sources as a microphone, cassette player or CD player
can be connected and recorded.

0 Recording can be done either manually, by pressing the recording key
while the unit is in recording standby mode, or automatically when an
input signal is detected while in recording standby mode.

0 Eight recording methods are made available through combination of 2
sampling frequencies (32 kHz and 44.1 kHz) and 4 levels of recording
quality (Long, Normal, High, and Extremely High). The most
appropriate method can be selected depending on the type of sound
source, recording time or the capacity of the memory card used.

0 The maximum recording time is approximately 33 minutes when 2
TOA 8 MB flash memory cards (EV-FSM) are used.

0 Up to 256 (or 1 ,024; selectable) separate sentences can be recorded
when 2 memory cards are used.

0 Each sentence can be individually recorded by selecting the most
appropriate recording method from the 8 methods available.

0 Silent areas that remain before and after the recorded content after
recording can be erased in the range of 0-9.9 second (in 0.1-second
units).

0 Up to 256 programs can be created by combining recorded sentence
segments.

O The title of up to 8 alphanumeric characters in length can be assigned
to each recorded sentence or program.

an

Playback

0 Messages are played back by designating the program and playback
method. Continuous Program Playback, Single Program Playback,
Repeat Playback, and Endless Playback can be selected.

0 The playback method, output (Output 1 or 2 or both outputs), and
output level can be individually set for each program.

0 Two different programs can be simultaneously played back from
Outputs 1 and 2. (Dual-Source Broadcast)

0 Recorded emergency messages can be set to have priority over
regular programs being played back in emergency situations.

0 The Auto Level Adjustment function permits programs to be played
back at uniformly the same volume level, even if the program is
made up of sentence segments recorded at different volume levels.

0 A microphone or other external equipment can be connected for
broadcast.

Control, Settings, and Other Functions

0 The Control Input terminal permits, sentence recording/erasure and
program playback/stop to be remotely controlled by connected
external equipment. Sentences or programs are selected by closing
the activation control input terminal. Direct Mode (8 selections) and
Binary Mode (256 selections) selection methods are made available.

0 Different activation modes can be individually set for Remote
Recording, Remote Playback, and Remote Stop.

0 Two Busy output terminals are provided for remote amplifier control
or other uses. Busy signals are sent from the Busy output terminal
corresponding to the output designated for each program.

0 Busy signals can be output during program playback, sentence
recording/erasure, microphone announcement and system setting.
Both Busy Outputs 1 and 2 can be individually set for Enable" or
Disable."

O The unit's LCD screen displays such information as
recording/playback levels, program names, program information
(playback time and sentence numbers), and setting menus. The LCD
screen and Menu Selection dial facilitate function settings.

0 The Key Lock function uses a password to disable all control keys
other than the power switch to prevent mishandling and tampering.

O The Failure Output terminal opens to indicate the units irregular
status when no memory card is loaded, when an incorrect type of
memory card is loaded, when the SRAM memory cards battery
voltage has dropped below a marginal level, when the units power is
switched off, or when the unit malfunctions.

O The front cover prevents accidental removal of the memory card.
