The Digital Paging Management Unit DPM-2500 A is a digital signaling audio control unit used to initiate/
manage live paging, audio signal routing and playing pre-recorded audio messages. The unit is ideal for
dierent audio applications including the voice alarm, mass notication (general alarm), background music
and professional public address. It is equipped with an internal monitoring of all alarm-relevant parts, internal
error logging and permanent monitoring of all PADES® 2000 system buses as well as the audio signal path
from the signal source to the loudspeaker line in accordance with the standard requirements of VDE 0828
and EN54 Part 16. The DPM-2500A is equipped with 4 independent (DSP-based) audio input channels. On the
output side, you can use four independent preamplier outputs for DPM -2500 A and DPM-2500B versions.
The digital paging management unit is used in combination with DAA ampliers and DMS-2021A to power
multi-independent loudspeaker outputs supporting class A or class A/B wiring.
Up to ten digital selective remote microphone units DPM- 2550 A or DPM-2550 B can be operated with each
DPM unit. If a DAM-2550 A system call station is to be connected to the paging management unit, this can be
done over TCP/ IP media or RS 485.
The unit can be equipped with a digital Dante-enabled card, model number DMS -2034A. For more details:
Review the user manual for DMS-2034A.
The audio signal processing allows the simultaneous operation of 4 independent speech paths in connection
with a supplementary software license. With the digital-analog input module, up to 4 monitored digital or
analog inputs are available. In order to play a selected input channel with priority, the NF-Digital-1-Channel-
Priority-Control-Module is used. Furthermore, an NF-Digital External Volume Control Module allows remote
volume control of a selected input channel. On the input side, there are high-performance audio AD
converters with 128x oversampling and input channel gain adjustable in 6 dB steps (0 – 42 dB), and on
the output side with high-performance audio DA converter with 128x oversampling and switchable output
channel gain (0/6 dB) is available. For a professional, unadulterated reproduction of speech and music, each
input/output features a ve-band parametric equalizer. Each audio input could be congured as a Line or Mic
input supporting phantom power input.
The below list describes the control ability of the system :
For warranty reasons, all options can only be installed in the factory. All system components are delivered
exclusively project related. A purchase of individual components is unfortunately not possible.

8. Installing the Controller
Unpacking
Unpack your controller and inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit.
If damage is found, notify the shipping company immediately. Only you can initiate a claim for shipping
damage, though AUDEMO-SYSTEMS® will be happy to help as needed. If the product arrived, showing signs

9. Connections and additional Possibilities
9.1) Connection of loudspeaker lines
Take care for correct phase relation when you connect any loudspeaker.
Danger! Beware of short circuits and earth fault.
Adjust each speaker with the preset power as noticed in the cabling diagram. Test each single loudspeaker
line by a measurement of line impedance at 1000 Hz (Z-Meter with tone-signal) with exact protocolling of the
result.
10. Options
All options could only be assembled ex works. All components of the electroacoustic system could only be
delivered referring to a project. Unfortunately, there is no possibility of buying single components.
