You are correct. Modern Voice Alarm (EVAC) systems are designed with advanced capabilities that allow them to effectively perform both Public Address (PA) and emergency evacuation functions.
EVAC systems can be configured to handle routine announcements, background music, and paging, similar to what traditional PA systems offer, without compromising their core role in emergency communication. This dual functionality is made possible through intelligent priority management and system zoning, which allow the system to switch modes automatically and override non-critical messages in the event of an emergency.
In summary, a properly designed EVAC system not only fulfills all the functions of a traditional PA system but also ensures compliance with life-safety requirements. It offers a scalable, cost-effective, and future-proof solution that enhances both the operational and safety standards of any facility.
Thank you Stephen for reading and your comment is very educative.
I love this @Racheal Aye, CTS ! It's always nice to see different sides of the industry, especially for people who are interested in learning about the different career paths they can take!
Thank you @Dana Jelter - AVIXA indeed AV is so broad and interesting.
Modern buildings rely on PA and VA systems for communication and safety. While PA handles routine announcements, VA ensures clear evacuation guidance during emergencies. Integrated systems now combine both, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
thanks for sharing your thought @Racheal aye !
Thank you @Alexis Bou Farhat, CTS-D, CTS-I
I like the concept of using a single system to offer both purposes, but in my experience the high safety standard of the evacuation systems and sometimes strict design, let very little option to offer a nice and flexible interface for the PA as background music system compared to those that are mainly for bms, but I think that sacrifice is worth it anyway. Besides that, the loudspeaker selection and goals are different for both purposes, typically for evacuation (depending on the model/brand) the frequency range is more vocal focus than a broadband full range for music. Thanks @Racheal Aye for sharing, is imporant to remember this.
Thank you @Antonio Vaca
