LDA Audio Tech announced that will be presenting new EN54-certified public address and voice evacuation loudspeaker systems at the upcoming ISE 2023 show at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, stand 7F500 in hall 7.
The lineup includes two new ceiling loudspeakers, two horn loudspeakers and three directive columns:
— NB-50TN (5-inch) and CH-62TN (6.5-inch) ceiling models;
— PS-15TN and PS-30TN exponential projection horn models;
— VTX-15TN (2 drivers), VTX-60TN (8 drivers) and VTX-90TN (12 drivers) column models.
In addition, NEO+, the latest flagship of the company’s public address and voice evacuation system that’s EN54 certified, is also expected to be on hand. NEO+ incorporates a new ETX module with AES67 layer-3 audio over IP technology for transmission and reception (Tx/Rx).
Further, NEO+ improves the way the system is controlled by user authentication to increase its security and reliability, while LDA’s R&D team has developed a proprietary implementation that will allow remote login and monitoring of active connections. The new generation will also have retro-compatibility with previous versions, as older systems can be upgraded by replacing the ETX module card.
LDA ONE, an EN54 public address and voice alarm system on the market, will also bring new features in 2023. Customized languages can be added to the system’s display and its enclosure is improved, with a detachable rear plate for easier maintenance and connection to accessories. It will also offer a new PTT input with supervision and an upgrade to the ACSI v2 protocol for future devices.
The cloud-based central monitoring ecosystem for LDA’s EN54 systems is scheduled to be rolled out in 2023, enabling them to be configured and remotely supported via the internet, securely audit system access through an Audit Trail and monitor their status and integrity. This ecosystem will consist of three modules: a secure device for connecting systems to the cloud, software for monitoring and controlling local LDA systems, and an administration function for users and systems.
ISE will also showcase the new v3 version of SIME, LDA’s integration platform for monitoring, configuring and managing its EN54 systems. The application is revamped with improvements to the user interface, new, more intuitive menus and icons, and the ability to be customised for each specific project.
SIME v3 has a configuration mode with an administrator window to add new equipment and access to modify equipment, sources and zones, and also integrates with third-party systems through different protocols (SNMP, UDP, OPC, MODBUS and more) and allow remote maintenance tasks in the cloud.
