ASL Public Address | Voice Alarm Solutions

 ASL Public Address and Voice alarm solutions

Application Solutions was founded in 1989 as an electronic design consultancy. It commenced manufacturing public address and voice alarm products around 15 years ago in response to demand from London Underground and others. The genesis of the VAR routers that still make up the backbone of the ASL Public Address range today was in that demand for high reliability, highly qualified products to meet demanding standards
Using that as a foundation, the company, which is still privately owned by the original directors, now produces the most innovative and powerful products in their field, whilst adhering to the original design drivers of reliability and adherence to standards

ASL is located in Lewes in Sussex, UK with it’s own factory, EMC test areas, validation laboratory and offices. ASL offers training and is always pleased to welcome our customers and their customers in turn to our facility

ASL in 2013

This year ASL Public Address stands at a crossroads in it’s development. Many of the products that have formed the backbone
of the ASL PA/VA range are now being joined by new IP converged, greener products that will take up the mantel
at the forefront of industry. EN54-16 has now passed into law and ASL Public Address has worked with LPCB to ensure the most rigorous compliance to the new standards. The arrival of the standards and the need to ensure that the product range meets industry’s demands for the next ten years means that ASL’s market approach is evolving
Until now.

ASL Public Address has been carefully linked to the projects where equipment has been used, but is now looking to supply through a wider range of partners who are integrators and installers – with ASL standing behind them as manufacturer. This scalable approach will expand ASL’s market shares in export and outside the transport industry where is it so well known Looking through our brochure, you can find the following new products

12 GPIO INPUTS / 12 OUTPUTS
UP TO 48×48 ROUTING MATRIX
TCP/IP AND SECURED DIGITAL AUDIO NETWORKING

UP TO 48 x 48 ROUTING MATRIX OVERVIEW

VIPEDIA-12 from ASL Public Address provides audio routing between 14 inputs and 14 outputs. Two of the inputs and two outputs are available via IP and can be used to integrate the matrix into larger distributed systems connected over Ethernet
The router is compatible with audio in ASL’s PMC audio format from any of ASL’s IP enabled microphones (MPS-IP), iVENCS control systems, other VIPEDIA routers.

Up to four VIPEDIA-12 routers can be locally linked within a rack to provide routing from any or all of their inputs to their outputs in a single logical 48 by 48 matrix VIPEDIA-12 integrates seamlessly with ASL V400, X400, 100V Amplifier Mainframes, providing full system status monitoring and fault reporting. This includes the monitoring and control of up to 64 amplifier mainframes (V400 and X400) and their associated amplifier interface card/surveillance units Audio inputs are connected via standard RJ45 connections to ASL MPS and EMS microphones (0dB + RS485).

Two audio inputs support router hardware bypass ensuring continued all-call microphone operation even if the matrix DSP or CPU has failed DSP based 24 bit / 48kHz audio functions including dynamic input processing, individually adjustable digital output delay and parametric equalization
The unit includes 12 GPIO inputs (configurable as analogue or digital) 12 digital outputs and two relay outputs. GPIO can be expanded using ASL’s BMB01 if required ANS ambient noise sensors connect directly via analogue contact inputs. Dynamic DANS Noise sensors interface via analogue audio inputs
The Vipedia-12 is equipped with a low power consumption mode to reduce its consumption to a minimum in case of standby mode on batteries.

DVAs (Digital Voice Announcements)

Up to 64 monitored DVAs are provided (max 10 minutes). A micro-SD card will provide virtually unlimited non-monitored message storage. Up to two messages can be played simultaneously. Those messages can be triggered from the MPS or EMS microphones, the Alarm input contacts or the internal scheduler
MICROPHONES
Each Vipedia input is supporting ASL MPS and EMS paging microphones (0db + RS485). Additionally, the MPS and
EMS can be cascaded (up to 6 per Vipedia input). One tone, two tones, three tones chimes are available. Furthermore,
custom chimes (WAV) can be downloaded onto the micro-SD card.
The following functionalities will be available from the MPS/EMS microphones : Zone/Group live and DVA paging, Music selection routing and level control, EN54-16 status
INTERNAL SCHEDULER
The internal scheduler will trigger the following events : DVA broadcast in pre-defined zones, Night/Day volume control.
