Baldwin Boxall 8 Zone Paging Telephone Interface BT8

Baldwin Boxall 8 Zone Paging Telephone Interface BT8

Our telephone interface units enable staff to make public address announcements from their own desk telephone. The free-standing units act as an interface between the analogue telephone system and the amplifier.

Key Features:

• Operated by simply dialling the BT5/BT8 extension number.
• Each unit is supplied with an IEC mains lead.
• Can be used to broadcast live announcements.
• Additional facility enables the user to pre-record an announcement. This reduces the risk of feedback where the telephone is adjacent to a loudspeaker.
• When connected to a telephone system with MF signalling, the BT8 enables the user to select up to eight zones via the telephone keypad.
• An internal selector determines if the recorded message is played once or twice.
• Can be wired into any two-wire analogue extension port via a designated master extension socket. Another option is to connect the unit to the paging port available on most modern telephone switches. However, they are not designed to operate on keyphone system extension ports.
• Outputs are selectable from line or microphone level.
• Signal output and zone select connections are via a 25 way D connector.
• Compatible with our BDM300 range of desk microphones (connected via the BMS25 socket box supplied with the microphone).
• We recommend using our B81R relay unit for the zone select switching.
• Please note: the BT8 is not approved for direct connection to the BT network. Under general approval NS/G/23/J/100003 it may be connected to a port on a telephone switch (PABX). This unit should only be used with a switchable amplifier input.
