Unicorn Voice Cabinet Speaker with Integrated Wall VAD
Summary
The Vox Ignis Cabinet Speaker with Wall VAD has been specifically designed to complement the Unicorn Voice PAVA range. This innovative solution combines a high-quality speaker with an integrated Visual Alarm Device (VAD) to provide comprehensive emergency communication whilst meeting the requirements of the Equality Act and Building Regulations.
The speaker features low wattage tappings which are intended to operate at full volume when used with the Unicorn Voice system.

FAQ
What is the benefit of combining a speaker and VAD in one unit?
The combined unit ensures that both audio and visual alerts are triggered simultaneously during any emergency announcement, including manual announcements. This reduces load on fire alarm system loops and ensures compliance with accessibility requirements whilst providing a more streamlined installation.
How does the 1st fix termination plate save installation time?
The termination plate allows wiring tests to be completed without the speaker being in circuit. The speaker can then be simply connected via plug-in terminals when ceilings are in place and the site is ready for commissioning, eliminating the need for additional connections during testing phases.
What are the power tapping options available?
The speaker offers multiple low wattage tappings at 100V: 0.125W, 0.25W, 0.5W, 1W, 2W, and 4W, allowing for flexible system design and power distribution across multiple speakers.
Is this speaker suitable for harsh environments?
The speaker has an IP21C ingress protection rating and operates in temperatures from -10°C to 55°C with humidity up to 80% non-condensing, making it suitable for most indoor commercial environments.
What monitoring features are included?
The speaker includes DC monitoring with a fitted capacitor and dual thermal fuse protection (both inline and return) to ensure reliable operation and system monitoring capabilities.
