AUSTRALIAN MONITOR PAGENET 88 Brochure

PageNet 88
Zone Paging System
Description - PN88 Matrix
The PageNet88 is a matrix switching system which allows any one of up to 8 remote paging
microphones to page into any combination of up to 8 output zones. The system also allows
any one of up to 4 program inputs to be fed to any or all of the 8 output zones. An emergency
input is also provided.
The PageNet88 matrix is an attractive, slim-line, 2 RU steel cabinet which may be desk or 19"
rack mounted. It includes inputs for each of the 8 remote PageNet88M microphone stations
(line level signal and control) and a line level output to each of the 8 output zones. Also includ-
ed are inputs for the 4 program sources (CD, tape, tuner etc) with associated level trim pots
and an input for an emergency signal such as from an EWIS control panel or priority message
system. Included internally are alert and evacuate signal tone generators (defeatable) which
may be activated remotely by simple contact closure.
The PageNet88 allows for total control over the operation of each of the 8 output zones. Each
of the 8 output zones is equipped with controls for program selection (via 4 interlocking push-
buttons), microphone level, program level, bass, treble and master output level - as we say,
total control. Each zone also has an associated push button to allow the zone to be included
or excluded from receiving paging announcements. The PageNet88 may be powered via AC
mains (240 volts or 110 volts on special order) or DC, 12 - 24 volts.

microphone and microphone sensitivity control. A bass cut
switch is located on each PageNet88M to reduce 'boom-

housed in an attractive and heavy duty case and may be
desk or wall mounted.
PageNet is available now and is a very cost effective
and simple way of solving what can be a frustrating,
customised and expensive audio installation problem.
