The Siemens Building Technologies Division launches a new public address and voice alarm (PA/VA) system in June 2018. The modular and scalable system can be customized for buildings of all types and sizes. It can be used for emergency situations and convenience applications such as public announcements and background music. The PA/VA system, marketed as Cerberus PACE (Public Address and Controlled Evacuation), can incorporate multiple redundancy levels and is also suitable for step-by-step modernization of outdated public address and voice alarm systems (PA/VA systems). Real-time engineering supports maintenance and configuration changes during business hours, while professional sound quality and low latency enable clear communication.
