Product Introduction
In large-scale public address (PA), voice alarm, and mass notification infrastructure across airports, rail hubs, cruise ships, and industrial facilities, routing multi-channel audio without signal degradation is critical. The Bosch PRS-16MCI is a 16-channel multi-channel interface unit engineered specifically for the Bosch Praesideo digital public address system.
Connected directly to the fiber-optic Praesideo bus, this module converts high-definition digital network audio into analog signals across 16 independent channels. It acts as the bridge between central Praesideo system controllers and multichannel basic power amplifiers, supporting complex multi-zone paging, background music distribution, and EN 54-16 compliant emergency voice evacuation routines.
