CobraNetTM, developed by Peak Audio, is a network protocol for real-time uncompressed digital audio distribution over industry standard 100Base-T Ethernet networks. Typical applications are room coupling and audio distribution over long distances. CobraNetTM audio channels can be configured as inputs to a Praesideo system, where they can be routed permanently or conditionally to any of the zones or audio outputs. The routing conditions are configured using the configuration software. Calls and background music (BGM) sources can be routed to CobraNetTM channels. Digital audio data is directly converted between an audio system and CobraNetTM, with no other audio processing than sample rate conversion. Control inputs and outputs are provided for external interfacing. The equipment can be used free-standing (tabletop) or in a 19” rack. CobraNetTM is a registered trademark of Peak Audio, a Division of Cirrus Logic, Inc.

There are four types of Power Amplifier units in the Praesideo product range. These differ in the number of amplifier channels per frame: one, two, four, or eight. The overall power rating is 500 watts for all of the amplifiers. The Power Amplifiers can be set to 100 V, 70 V and 50 V output tappings. They have short-to-ground and short-circuit detection functions, and can generate their own pilot tone for supervision purposes.

The call station basic can make manual or pre-recorded announcements to any pre-assigned zones. The call station basic has a microphone on a flexible stem, a pushto-talk button, a speaker, and a headset socket. The LBB 4430/00 can be extended with up to 16 keypads (LBB 4432/00 or LBB 4434/00), each with eight programmable keys. Extension with a numeric keypad (PRS‑CSNKP) is also possible.

• Serial data and power interface to call station basic
• Up to 16 keypads can be connected to one call station basic
• Activation indicator for each key
• Stylish and modern design

The call station keypad is used in combination with the call station basic to make manual or pre-recorded announcements to any assigned zones, to select the zones or to execute pre-defined actions. The call station keypad has eight programmable buttons, each with a two-color status LED.

• Interface to Praesideo basic amplifiers
• Up to 16 audio channels
• Redundant fiber optic network connection
• Control input and output connections
• Complete supervision

The PRS-16MCI is part of the Praesideo network and acts as an interface to the Praesideo basic amplifiers that do not provide network connectivity. The unit is intended for public address and emergency sound systems. The multichannel interface provides 16 configurable output channels (14 main outputs and two spare outputs). It provides the audio signals to the basic amplifiers and has full control over the amplifiers. It supervises itself and the connected basic amplifiers, and reports fault events to the Praesideo network controller. The unit should be mounted in a 19″-rack with the included mounting brackets.

• All‑in‑one solution for audio transport on IP‑networks
• Supervised control inputs and outputs
• Supports re‑broadcasting
• EN 54‑16 compliant IP solution
• Configurable as SIP telephone interface (optional)

The PRS‑1AIP1 is a universal, IP‑based audio device supporting VoIP and Audio over IP applications. It is an ideal solution for bridging audio and contact closures over long distance LAN and WAN networks, e.g. in shopping malls, tunnels, in and between railway stations. It extends and interfaces to Praesideo and non‑network based traditional public address systems without the need for a PC during operation. The unit has analog audio inputs and outputs for easy interfacing with optional pilot‑tone supervision for emergency sound purposes. One audio input can be switched to microphone sensitivity with built‑in microphone supervision. Also, the control inputs offer cable and connection supervision. Control inputs and outputs can be used to set up an audio connection to start a remote call, but also to pass remote fault events to the system controller.

• High efficiency class-D amplifier channel(s)
• Switched mode power supply
• Local audio inputs
• Mains and battery operation
• Complete supervision

The basic amplifiers are cost effective alternatives to the regular Praesideo power amplifiers, for situations where no built-in digital signal processing functions, such as equalizers, delay and AVC are required. They do not have a Praesideo network connection. Instead, these amplifiers are connected to the Praesideo network via the PRS-16MCI Multi Channel Interface, which provides the basic amplifier with audio signals and has full control. There are four versions, the PRS‑1B500 (1 x 500 W), PRS‑2B250 (2 x 250 W), PRS‑4B125 (4 x 125 W) and the PRS‑8B060 (8 x 60 W). The basic amplifiers are completely supervised and fault events are reported via the multi channel interface to the Praesideo network controller. The basic amplifiers provide connections for separate group A and group B loudspeakers for each zone, and support class‑A loudspeaker loop wiring. The units should be mounted in a 19″-rack with the included mounting brackets.

The audio expander inserts external audio into the system and extracts audio from the system. This unit has control inputs and outputs for external interfacing. It can route its audio inputs permanently or conditionally to any of the zones or to other audio outputs. The routing conditions are configured using the configuration software. The audio output can be programmed to get its signal from any of the audio inputs. The equipment can be used freestanding (tabletop) or in a 19″ rack.
