VOCIA OUTPUT 4 WITH EXTENDED CAPABILITY (VO-4e) The VO-4e is an enhanced networked audio output expansion device that allows the user to add four line-level and CobraNet® output channels to be added to a Vocia system. The VO-4e can be configured for Channel-to-Channel or Device-to-Device failover and uses comprehensive fixed-chain digital-signal processing within the device, including volume control, ducking, equalization, compressor/limiter, speaker crossover, delay, and output gain.
VO-4e FRONT PANEL Setup and Use The Vocia software provides the interface for configuring and programming the VO-4e. The information supplied by this manual relates to hardware installation, physical connections, device and channel failover concerns. For more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Software Help File.
VO-4e REAR PANEL Connections All numbered audio, relay and power connectors on the rear panel of the unit are configured with the lowest output or input on the left of the connector as viewed from the rear of the unit. Auxiliary Power Caution - Due to potential energy hazard, connections to the Auxiliary Power 24V DC inputs must be made by a qualified electrician or other qualified person as required to conform with all local codes. Dual 24V DC power inputs are provided on a four-way 0.2” (5.

Typically seen on Secondary port when acting as a failover to the Primary connection.
VO-4e REAR PANEL Amp Fault Imputs Four amplifier Fault Inputs are provided via a six-way 0.2” (5.08mm) pluggable screw terminal block. These allow for fault monitoring of the output of the VO-4e as indicated from an external amplifier. By default each input allows an external voltage-free contact closure to ground to indicate a fault condition for the corresponding VO-4e Output channel. Inputs are pulled high internally to create a default non-asserted condition.
VO-4e REAR PANEL Failover Modes Device-to-Device or Channel-to-Channel failover modes are supported. Only one type of failover mode can be implemented per device. Device-to-Device Failover VO-4e units provide for Device-to-Device failover when a fault is detected. A Failover Link Cable must be connected between the primary and the redundant units as shown below.
