TOA Electronics N-8000MI Multisource Interface for N-8000 Intercom System

The TOA N-8000MI Multisource Interface for N-8000 Intercom System serves as an analog audio bridge. It can accept two line-level inputs that can be distributed to any paging zone or station within the system. Moreover, it is equipped with two line-level outputs, sixteen contact closure inputs, and sixteen relay outputs. These contact closures can be synchronized with paging events, linked to contact closure inputs, triggered by a station call, controlled via IP or a master station, or prompted by a network fault or a 2-wire (N-8000EX/N-8010EX) line fault for continuous monitoring. The package includes both rack mount and wall mount hardware.

Key Features

• The N-8000MI serves as a versatile interface for the N-8000 intercom system.
  
• It functions as an analog audio bridge, allowing two line-level inputs to be broadcasted to any paging zone or station within the system.
  
• The interface provides two line-level outputs, along with sixteen contact closure inputs and sixteen relay outputs.
  
• Contact closures can be synchronized with paging events, linked to contact closure inputs, triggered by station calls, IP control, master stations, network faults, or 2-wire line faults for continuous supervision.
  
• The N-8000MI comes with both rack mount and wall mount hardware for easy installation.
  
• It features a 10/100BaseTX Ethernet network connection for seamless connectivity.
  
• The interface occupies one network node, with a maximum of 192 nodes supported.
