We are happy to announce the release of a new EVAX Series conventional voice systems (EVAX-5070, EVAX-10070, and EVAX-X70), a line of cost-effective standalone voice evacuation systems designed to notify and safely evacuate building occupants during emergency events. Ideal for small to medium-sized applications including retrofits, schools, daycares, theaters, churches, and restaurants, the series delivers modern voice evacuation technology for voice-only notification projects and installations paired with a separate, dedicated fire alarm control panel.

Each panel features a 50-watt single-channel amplifier, selectable 25VRMS or 70VRMS operation, and four onboard trigger inputs for message activation. The EVAX-10070 adds an internal amplifier to deliver 100 watts and eight speaker circuits, while the EVAX-X70 supports expansion with up to 10 SCA or DCA (in single-channel mode) amplifiers, firefighter telephone communication, and additional input modules for larger applications.
