Impact MM

Maze is our advanced audio-over-IP networking engine, designed to retrofit seamlessly into 4EVAC Impact controllers and amplifiers. It integrates 4EVAC voice alarm systems with multimedia applications, where high quality audio streams can be transmitted seamlessly in the Maze network

• Full IP connectivity – Seamlessly integrates controllers, amplifiers and audio matrixes over ethernet.
• High channel capacity – Access up to 250 audio channels across the Maze network.
• Smart configuration – Simplified setup via Maze manager with static IP assignment and optimized routing.
• Flexible audio distribution – Transmit and receive BGM channels over IP

Maze is not just networking - it’s the intelligent backbone that connects your evacuation and public address systems with commercial audio network; ensuring speed, security, and scalability for any project size.

The Impact i-Controller is the central brain and network hub of the Impact MM voice alarm system. Equipped with ethernet connectivity and an integrated Maze engine, it delivers advanced audio-over-IP capabilities while maintaining full EN54-compliant voice alarm functionality.

2x500 WATT D-Class Charger Amplifier - direct drive

The Impact-MM amplifier, i-DCA2.500, is a networked Maze variant. Like i-Controller, the i-DCA2.500 has a dual-port ethernet interface with built-in 100Mbps switch and Maze engine, which opens access to 250 audio BGM channels available in the Maze network. Each i-DCA2.500 can also broadcast two digital audio streams to the Maze network from it’s local BGM analog inputs. Thanks to dual-port switch onboard, multiple i-DCA2.500 units can be daisy-chained with i-Controller inside the rack, without extra switches or routers. i-DCA2.500 can be used as a standalone amplifier for low priority PA sub-systems, sharing the same network with voice alarm rack.

The 4E-AM448 is a DIN-rail mounted amplifier surveillance module designed for Impact SW and MM systems. It provides intelligent monitoring and backup management for up to 4 amplifiers and 8 loudspeaker circuits. Each of 8 loudspeaker output circuits is monitored individually.

• 4 Amplifier inputs and shared backup
  Each of the 4 primary amplifier inputs is paired with a shared backup amplifier input for maximum reliability 2000 watts per module with additional shared backup
• 8 Individually monitored loudspeaker circuits
  Every channel is split into A/B circuits for enhanced line surveillance and redundancy:
• AMP 1 → Line 1A | Line 1B
• AMP 2 → Line 2A | Line 2B
• AMP 3 → Line 3A | Line 3B
• AMP 4 → Line 4A | Line 4B
• Seamless integration
  Works with Impact SW and MM systems, ensuring flexible deployment across different configurations.

The 4E-AM448 guarantees continuous system integrity , combining surveillance, backup routing, and compliance in a compact DIN-rail design.

4EVAC's GPIO is a din-rail mounted I/O interface with input surveillance and a redundant network link, dedicated to the 4EVAC system network. It features programmable 16 in / 16 out pins, mandatory EVAC and FAULT status output contacts, a monitored analogue audio input and a monitored RS-485 interface for integration with third-party external control panels.

With the Maze network, users have the ability to stream multiple digital audio channels over IP. With the help of i-Matrix, users now have the flexibility to expand the Maze audio streams to a total of 6 IN X 10 OUT audio channels. The i-Matrix is a cost effective solution when the users needs extra inputs to the Maze network without the need of extra output power that an additional i-DCA2.500 would offer. Besides that, the MATRIX is also available without the Maze engine and featurus powerful pre-and post audio processing such as, parametric EQ’s, noise-sensing mic input and powerful line delay of up to 30 seconds per output.

4 x 8 balanced audio matrix with DSP, with additional with 2in/2out streaming to and from Impact MM system (total 6 IN x 10 OUT). Built-in message player with micro SD card storage, 4xGPIO, RS485, USB port, 100Mbps dual ethernet port

4EVAC Manager is an overall programming application tool, that provides a comprehensive interface for the Impact and Compact 500 networked systems. The software provides an overview of your overall system status and makes system operation very easy through an intuitive and secure user interface configuration tool that makes complex programming and service easier than ever.

The 4EVAC Manager programming application for the Impact and Compact 500 systems, provides:

• quick download and upload of the system configuration;
• updates of firmware and configuration over the network to all devices. Each controller or Compact 500 holds a complete copy of the system configuration file;
• flashcard exchange protocol for quick system updates and programming, in case of computer access disability or emergency purpose.
