PA system for schools and universities

The BOUTIQUE system offers full DSP with excellent audio quality and at the same time provides all the necessary features to evacuate the campus fast and safety in case of emergency. EVAC paging can interrupt BGM only if a zone/group of zones are selected to broadcast a message and can easily schedule automatic pre-recorded messages.

In addition, the event scheduler including bell management, allows to schedule the events such as message playing, commands triggering etc. for school application.

This maximizes flexibility while minimizing cost. The BOUTIQUE is capable to lower your material cost with an ease of installation and configuration solution by using the built-in 250W/500W high efficiency Class-D amplifier of main controller and connect to the loudspeakers in specific zones.

• Good speech intelligibility, even in a noisy environment
• Paging microphones in security control room
• Volume levels in each zone can be set differently for BGM, emergency announcements and general paging
• Event scheduler including bell management for schools
• Priority management with paging calls
• Selectable BGM and message routing to specific zones
• Easy integration with TERRACOM IP-based paging, intercom and control system, TerraManager custom GUI control software and IP phone via SIP protocol
