Introduction
The Z Series is a multi-zone speech privacy system that also supports background music and paging applications. Model Z2-B is a two-zone speech
privacy system providing 60-watts of total amplification and model Z4-B is four-zone speech privacy system delivering up to 120-watts of amplification.
The Z Series is an all-in-one solution that not only supplies high quality speech privacy, but also can deliver high quality background music and paging.
Mic / line and music inputs each have a five-band equalizer and Hi and Lo pass filters to assure maximum performance. Music inputs incorporate either
analog stereo summed inputs or Bluetooth®streaming. For paging applications, the Z Series incorporates a unique hi-Q feedback filter specifically
tailored to the vocal frequency range. Output limiters are in the audio chain to protect against system overdrive.
Advanced features of the Z Series include separate analog masking generators per zone, 14-day system commissioning ramp per zone, and PC project
design software allows system custom project files to meet installation needs.
For conference room applications where secure speech privacy is required, the Z Series features a Speech Privacy Enhancement mode that can be
engaged while a meeting is in progress. Enhanced Privacy mode applies additional acoustical energy to the surrounding environment, increasing the
privacy levels for the conference room occupants. These unique secured speech filters have been approved and implemented in many installations
around the world including military and government facilities. Activation of the Speech Privacy Enhancement feature is accomplished via hardwired
switch, an iOS®or Android®application, or using an optional wireless desktop / wall mount switch. An optional wired or wireless sign is available for a
visual aid to notify attendees when Enhanced Privacy Mode is active.
