VAIA Compact EN54 PAVA System

The Zenitel VAIA (1200101000) is a 4-channel public address and voice alarm (PAVA) amplifier and controller for clear paging, emergency voice evacuation and background music. Its all-in-one 1U design helps installers deliver reliable 100V audio without a large equipment rack.

EN 54-Certified Safety and Dependable Operation

Fully certified to EN 54-16 and EN 54-4, VAIA provides monitoring from microphone through to loudspeaker. Four duty amplifier channels are supported by a dedicated automatic standby amplifier, helping maintain operation if an amplifier fails. Each duty channel supports four individually monitored loudspeaker circuits. Built-in battery charging and AC/DC power inputs support emergency backup power when connected to a suitable battery.

Up to 1000W of Flexible Amplification

The efficient Class D platform delivers up to 1000W RMS at 100V across four channels, with software-controlled power allocation and up to 500W RMS per amplifier. Advanced 32-bit processing supports intelligible speech and quality background audio. On-board 1GB storage holds approximately 173 minutes of WAV announcements, with four simultaneous message players.

IP Connectivity for Scalable Installations

Two 100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports and two SFP slots support networked audio and control. VAIA can connect with other units and integrate with the Zenitel VIPA Audio Platform for distributed, centrally managed sites. It supports four Zenitel IP microphones, two serial microphones, four mic/line inputs and ten general-purpose contact inputs. Compatible microphones and SFP modules are separate accessories.

Space-Saving Installation

The 19-inch 1U rack unit combines amplification, digital processing, system supervision, AC/DC power and a battery charger. This reduces cabling and cabinet space, simplifying installation and maintenance. The IP30 enclosure suits indoor installation cabinets in schools, hospitals, retail premises and transport facilities.

Unlike the VAIA-AC and VAIA-48V models, this VAIA version combines AC/DC power support with full EN 54 certification.

For installers seeking an EN 54-certified 100V PAVA controller, Zenitel VAIA combines flexible zoned audio, system resilience and straightforward expansion in one compact unit.
