PAVIRO Public Address and Voice Evacuation System with Professional Sound Quality

Equipped with the optional Dante network interface module (OM-1), it is possible to create a 16-channel Dante audio network between the individual controllers using standard Ethernet connections and components. This not only improves the size, the IP networking architecture allows users to create network topologies for larger areas via up to four decentralized controllers. In addition, the network configuration provides redundant channels for safety purposes – in case of an emergency these channels will always work for evacuation signals, even if a controller loses network communication.

With more than 30 minutes of recording storage, a complete evacuation can be recorded for later purposes. The recordings can be listened from the call station or can be downloaded as .wav file. Zone monitoring functionality is integrated into the call stations and allows monitoring of any zone or group in the system.

PAVIRO is built with power efficiency in mind. Power management is integrated in the heart PAVIRO – so you can minimize power consumption by minimizing the number of amplifiers or increase flexibility even more.

PAVIRO can handle last minute changes to the system design without problem. That’s because intelligent input switching, dynamic channel assignments and power load sharing makes the system extremely flexible, allowing design changes to be made at any stage of the project without risk.

The basic configuration is a wizard which provides a step-by-step configuration guide. Using this wizard, a complete system can be programmed within 30 minutes versus conventional systems that can take hours or days. The expert mode, based on IRISNet, provides almost unlimited system design flexibility, enabling perfect-fit and highly customized configurations in more complex applications.

PAVIRO is the result of industry-leading knowledge in professional sound, and includes technologies developed for the Bosch range of professional sound reinforcement audio products, with very high performance as a result. The controller handles signals with over 106dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

As part of the Bosch Building Technologies commitment to meet international standards, PAVIRO meets major legislated requirements for voice alarm systems and is certified according EN 54-16. The system is also compliant with many local evacuation standards.

Dynamic source routing and intelligent amplifier switching, significantly reduces the number of required amplifiers. This reduces the initial investment and minimizes the power consumption.

Each router can handle up to 4000W, in one or two channels on 24 loudspeaker lines, using just one type of amplifier. This creates extreme flexibility in the system. Power load sharing over the zones (from 2W to 500W) makes the system even more flexible – allowing combinations of low and high power zones within a router.

PAVIRO includes a wizard for fast and easy configuration. In addition, the expert configuration provides a unique Task Engine programming environment for further options and flexibility.

Wide bandwidth (50Hz-20kHz), dynamic system range with more than 100 dB signal-to-noise ratio and very low channel crosstalk together deliver excellent audio quality.

PAVIRO’s advanced software and intelligent system architecture saves time and costs at specification, at installation, and during the day-to-day usage of the system. Consultants will save time and define a complete system using just a few parameters. Installers will avoid unexpected costs thanks to the system’s extreme flexibility. Building owners will minimize costs of ownership. And building occupants will feel safe in your building while enjoying high quality music and excellent Public Address speech intelligibility.

With PAVIRO, specifying a complete system is remarkably quick and simple – just a few parameters are needed to design a system: the total loudspeaker power, the number of speaker lines and the number of call stations. This means consultants can serve more clients and substantially increase turnover, and/or offer more competitive pricing.

PAVIRO system amplifiers can be used for AV presentations. To ensure that system channels, are never used for such local needs, each PAVIRO amplifier provides two local audio inputs for local program sources and guarantees full system supervision for Evacuation purposes.

Operational costs are kept low because PAVIRO uses the latest high-efficiency class-D amplifiers and intelligent power-management hardware and software. These dramatically minimize power consumption.

PAVIRO uses fewer amplifiers compared to other systems - thanks to the combination of “dynamic source routing” and “intelligent amplifier input switching” – to ensure a low initial investment. With fewer amplifiers in use, fewer batteries need to be replaced on a regular basis, lowering operational costs even more.

Up to four PAVIRO systems can be networked via IP. The network design increases the number of system channels, requires less cabling costs and allows for using existing IP infrastructures and standard IT components.

PAVIRO is a unique, high-quality Public Address and Evacuation System that seamlessly integrates with additional equipment to deliver high-quality music. Its highly flexible system architecture makes it ideal for small to medium-sized applications. This includes small- to mid-sized offices, regional airports, mid-sized hotels, factories, schools and department stores.

At the maximum configuration level, the PAVIRO system can address up to 984 zones with a total of 164,000 watts of amplifying power in one system, making the system suitable for bigger installations in which a large number of zones and loudspeakers are needed. It also caters to existing installations whenever the infrastructure of a building changes and additional rooms have to be addressed.
