2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

[System Management Amplifier VM-2120/VM-2240]
Featuring outstanding audio performance, the TOA System Management Amplifier VM-2120/-2240 satisfies
the growing need for reliable and efficient communications for various applications, especially for medium-
sized facilities including office building, factories, hospitals, and transportation terminals.
The VM-2120 (120 W) and VM-2240 (240 W) are multifunctional amplifiers that can be mounted in an EIA-
Standard equipment rack (3-unit size). Both units come with 4 audio inputs including the background music
input, and the speaker output section which has an internal attenuator and 5-zone selector. They permit not
only general-purpose broadcast, but also Emergency Broadcast based on the EN60849 Standard which gives
pre-recorded voice instructions*
200M Remote Microphone as well as from the amplifier, and can be remotely controlled from external
equipment. In addition, both amplifiers feature the surveillance function*
system for failures.
* 1 An optional EV-200 Voice Announcement Board is required.
* 2 An optional SV-200M Surveillance Board is required.
[Remote Microphone RM-200M]
The RM-200M is a dedicated unit for both the VM-2120 and VM-2240, and permits Emergency Broadcast as
well as general-purpose broadcast.
[Remote Microphone Extension RM-210]
The RM-210 is an extension unit for the RM-200M's key operating section.
