Talk 8 is an eight-zone paging system for the Optimal Audio installed sound ecosystem, allowing stored content to be assigned to any of the six instant message playback buttons. Alternatively, it can be scheduled via Optimal Audio’s WebApp for automatic playback as part of a time-of-day routine. There’s an optional pre-announcement chime and its simple-to-use interface features a backlit Talk button with latching and non-latching options.
Users can independently page individual, or multiple zones simultaneously. The UI enables users to select, and also define, zone groups for customised communication. WebApp enables simple configuration for the scheduling of message routines, or for the control of paging priorities to suit any venue’s unique requirements.
As with the all of the modular elements available, Talk 8 integrates with the Optimal Audio ecosystem, including support for up to two digital paging stations working in tandem with Zone controllers.
Talk 8 is supplied with a secure-fitting dynamic gooseneck microphone, Mic 1, for professional audio delivery within any commercial venue. The unit’s robust, weighted design with standardised mounting options, integrates with a variety of mounts and brackets. Power is delivered via a locking RJ45 connector from the Zone controller paging port, and USB-C connectivity is included for firmware updates and loading audio files.
Optimal Audio’s ecosystem also sees a significant addition to its controller range, with ZonePad 8, dedicated, venue control. Delivered as a touchscreen solution, ZonePad 8 is an elegant wall-mounted, source and zone control panel that is simple to configure and easy to use. ZonePad 8 can be supplemented with ZonePad 1 or ZonePad 4 units, or simply teamed with WebApp to provide users with clear and simple access to the essential controls for an Optimal Audio system.
