This version includes new functionalities for installations that require advanced management of remote microphones and external inputs, such as public address and voice evacuation systems in airports<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text]Download the latest firmware version for NEXO<\/a>[vc_column_text css=””]NEXO<\/a> is a robust and flexible solution for this kind of projects and, in general, for all those that require adapting analog equipment to IP network-based infrastructures<\/strong> while maintaining EN 54-16 certification throughout.<\/p>\n

The NEXO converter helps installers and integrators to ensure that projects comply with current security regulations and give them peace of mind that their infrastructures are always at the forefront of state-of-the-art technology.<\/p>\n

NEXO already offers support for connecting up to 32 ACSI v2 devices on its local bus and allows the connection of up to 2 music sources. Now, thanks to the new ACSINet Virtual Mic feature<\/strong>, it is possible to connect conventional microphones, which operate by contact closure or noise gate, and convert them to ACSINet microphones for connection to the system via IP networks. With firmware v1.2 the horizon is extended to offer even more integration capabilities.<\/p>\n

The new version allows up to 4 A-1 microphones to be daisy-chained<\/strong> to the same NEXO port. Although only one can broadcast at a time, each mic can have preconfigured routings, i.e. different target zones<\/strong> previously defined in the NEO+<\/a> configuration.<\/p>\n

This is a useful enhancement designed for projects with multiple single-zone paging points, without the need to add external logic or intermediate devices. Everything can be managed directly using NEO+ and NEXO.<\/p>\n

A particular use case for this functionality would be airport boarding gates and check-in counters<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text]Download the NEXO user's manual<\/a>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

ACSINet Virtual Mic<\/h3>\n

The new ACSINet Virtual Mic feature, available since NEXO version 1.2, extends the connectivity of the system, giving NEXO greater versatility when integrating microphones and\/or triggers into the ACSINet ecosystem. These new features can be classified as follows:<\/p>\n
