Optimal Audio is commercial audio done differently. Delivering quality audio with high levels of functionality for every venue, Optimal Audio’s ecosystem is intuitively packed and designed to be immediately accessible and as simple to use as any smart device.
Talk 8 is an eight-zone paging system that adds reliable and precise paging to the Optimal Audio ecosystem. Offering the flexibility demanded from an efficient and high-quality commercial sound system, Talk 8 provides crystal clarity for spoken messages and so much more.
The paging system features 4GB of memory and the stored content can be assigned to any of the six instant message playback buttons. Alternatively, it can be scheduled via Optimal Audio’s WebApp for automatic playback as part of a time-of-day routine. There’s an optional pre-announcement chime and, as part of its simple to use interface, Talk 8 features a backlit TALK button with latching and non-latching options.
Users can independently page individual, or multiple zones simultaneously. The intuitive layout enables users to select, and also define, zone groups for customised communication. WebApp enables simplistic configuration for the scheduling of message routines, or for the control of paging priorities to suit any venue’s unique requirements.
As with the all the modular elements available, Talk 8 integrates effortlessly with the Optimal Audio eco-system, including support for up to two digital paging stations working in tandem with Zone controllers.
Talk 8 is supplied with a secure-fitting dynamic gooseneck microphone, Mic 1, for professional audio delivery and seamless operation within any commercial venue. The unit’s robust, weighted design with standardised mounting options, integrates simply with a variety of mounts and brackets. Power is delivered via a locking RJ45 connector from the Zone controller paging port, and USB-C connectivity is included for firmware updates and loading audio files.
Optimal Audio’s ecosystem will also benefit from a significant addition to its controller range, with ZonePad 8, a dedicated, venue control solution.
Delivered as a touch-screen solution, ZonePad 8 is an elegant wall-mounted, source and zone control panel that is simple to configure and easy to use. ZonePad 8 can be supplemented with ZonePad 1 or ZonePad 4 units, or simply teamed with WebApp to provide users with clear and simple access to the essential controls for an Optimal Audio system.
New to the Sub range is Sub 18, a powerful, high-performance, passive, 18” subwoofer designed for applications that call for increased impact and low frequency performance across the Optimal Audio loudspeaker range.
Sub 18 features a plywood bass-reflex cabinet loaded with an 18” (460mm) driver that maximises performance for a peak SPL of 136dB. With its sleek and compact design, Sub 18 takes up minimal space and can be used on the ground or flown using integral M8 inserts.
