1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The VM-3000 Series Voice Alarm System is an integrated emergency/general announcement broadcast
system. The Voice Alarm System Amplifier that plays the central role in the system is available in two models:
VM-3240VA (240W) and VM-3360VA (360W). Using these amplifiers in conjunction with the VM-3240E
(240W) and VM-3360E (360W) Extension Amplifiers allows larger systems to be built.

2. FEATURES

The VM-3240VA and VM-3360VA both have 6 speaker outputs. This can be expanded to up to 60 outputs
by combining the amplifier with its corresponding extension amplifiers, the VM-3240E or VM-3360E,
respectively.

Set data, log data and other Voice Alarm System Amplifier data can be accessed by way of the Ethernet.

Up to 2 RM-300MF emergency broadcast Fireman’s Microphones can be connected per Voice Alarm
System Amplifier. Further, up to a total of 4 general broadcast-use RM-200M Remote Microphones and RM-
300MF Fireman’s Microphones can be connected.

Connecting an external standby amplifier (VP-2241 and VP-2421) to both of the Voice Alarm System
Amplifier and its Extension Amplifiers VM-3240E and VM-3360E enables background music (BGM)/paging
broadcasts. The BGM/paging broadcast refers to simultaneous 2-channel broadcasts that allow paging calls
(microphone announcements) to be made over other zones without interrupting current BGM broadcasts.

For systems employing the VX-2000DS Emergency Power Supply, only emergency broadcasts can be
made while backup power is being supplied by the VX-2000DS, even if the main power supply has been cut
off.

Easy-to-understand on-screen settings can be performed from a PC screen using the setting software.

Audio inputs include inputs 1 – 4, a remote microphone input, an emergency remote microphone input, and
BGM inputs 1 & 2 (select either of the two).

Control inputs and outputs include 6 inputs and 3 status outputs for emergency broadcasts, and 8 inputs and
8 outputs for general broadcasts. By adding extension amplifiers (up to 9 units can be connected), the
number can be increased up to 60 inputs for emergency broadcasts and up to 80 inputs and 80 outputs for
general broadcasts.
