It usually comprises audio sources, paging microphones, a zone routing and control unit, amplifiers, loudspeakers, and cabling and mounting accessories.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the same as a voice alarm (VA) system. Voice alarm broadcasts emergency messages as part of the fire alarm system. It is designed to standards such as EN 54-16 (control and indicating equipment) and EN 54-24 (loudspeakers), and it falls under the Saudi Fire Protection Code (SBC 801) and Civil Defense approval. A standard commercial sound system does not become a voice alarm system just because it is wired to the fire alarm panel. For the life-safety side, see our article on <a href=\"\/en\/sa\/media-center\/voice-evacuation-alarm-systems\/\">voice evacuation systems<\/a>; this article covers the commercial and operational side.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91c02c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"91c02c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Zoning the system<\/h2>\n<p>A zone is a group of loudspeakers fed from one line and controlled together for source and level.

That is why BGM and paging systems use constant-voltage lines: the amplifier delivers a nominal 100 V at full power, and each speaker has a small transformer that raises its impedance and sets the power it draws. European practice uses 100V and the US market 70V; the project specification decides which applies.<\/p>\n<p>Transformer taps select the speaker&#8217;s power, for example 6, 3 or 1.5 W. Each halving of power is roughly 3 dB in level. Line load impedance follows Z = V\u00b2 \u00f7 P, so a 100V line carrying 90 W presents about 111 ohms. Speaker transformers also add insertion loss, which one manufacturer&#8217;s guide puts at 1 to 2 dB; allow for it when estimating levels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e029440 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e029440\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Ceiling speaker layout and spacing<\/h2>\n<p>Spacing depends on ceiling height (H), listener ear height (L) and the speaker&#8217;s coverage angle. Design guides use a practical relation: spacing = (H \u2212 L) \u00d7 a factor set by coverage angle and layout pattern. Ear height is about 1.5 m standing and about 1 m seated. For a speaker with 120\u00b0 coverage the factors are:<\/p>\n<div class=\"az-table-wrap\"><table><thead><tr><th>Layout pattern<\/th><th>Factor (120\u00b0 coverage)<\/th><th>Example: 3 m ceiling, standing listener<\/th><th>Best for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Edge to edge<\/td><td>3.46<\/td><td>about 5.2 m<\/td><td>Low-level background music, tight budgets<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Minimum overlap<\/td><td>2.45<\/td><td>about 3.7 m<\/td><td>Paging that must be clearly understood<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Centre to centre<\/td><td>1.73<\/td><td>about 2.6 m<\/td><td>Very even coverage, listeners everywhere<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<p>The factors change with the coverage angle on the datasheet; larger-cone speakers often have narrower coverage and suit higher ceilings.

The same principle applies in practice to public address systems: during an alarm, music and routine paging must not mask sounders or evacuation messages. There are two usual approaches:<\/p>\n<ul><li><strong>A separate commercial PA system:<\/strong> the fire alarm panel provides a relay output to the mute or priority input on the controller or amplifier, stopping broadcasts building-wide or in the zones defined in the cause and effect matrix.<\/li><li><strong>A combined PA\/VA system:<\/strong> equipment approved for voice alarm carries music and daily paging, with programmed priority for emergency messages. For example, Context Plus AVAC amplifiers (VA403 and VA402) have three balanced inputs for the emergency microphone, general paging and background music.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>Either way, the mute signal path should be shown on the drawings and physically tested at commissioning and handover.
