The MONACOR ARM-880 is a highly flexible Audio Matrix Router designed as the core component for sophisticated multi-room Public Address (PA) applications. Ideal for venues like hotels, restaurants, bars, conference rooms, schools, sports facilities, and fitness centers, the ARM-880 allows you to distribute up to 8 different audio sources to 8 independent output zones with complete assignment freedom.
Â
Â
8 Audio Inputs to 8 Output Zones: Route any of 8 audio sources (e.g., CD players, SAT receivers, radio programs) to any of the 8 output zones as required.
Expandable System: Utilise a master/slave connection to easily expand the system up to 32 output zones to grow with your venue's needs.
Comprehensive Inputs: Features 4 line inputs (RCA), 4 switchable line/mic inputs (screw terminals), and a local microphone input (XLR) for global announcements.
Zone Control and Paging:
Connect up to 2 optional ARM-880RC zone paging microphones for targeted announcements.
Dedicated, non-routable local audio input for each of the 8 zones.
Connect optional ARM-880WP wall modules for remote control (source selection and volume) or additional local inputs within a zone.
Integrated PA Management: Includes robust features for professional PA system operation:
Priority Management and Emergency Announcement with priority overriding all other signals, even in an expanded system.
Connections for various alarm signals (including fire alarm/EVAC).
Microphone, music, and master volume controls plus a 2-way tone control for each zone.
Professional Build: Features 7-segment LED displays for each zone, a clipping indicator, and a monitoring function with a built-in speaker. Designed for standard 482 mm (19") rack installation (3 RU).
Power Redundancy: Operates on standard mains power or 24V emergency power.
