The VARES-1500 voice alarm system is a compact, modular, and fully integrated “all-in-one” solution designed for small to medium-sized installations. It combines the simplicity of a conventional standalone system with the advanced functionality and flexibility of a distributed networked architecture.

Depending on the model, VARES-1500 supports routing for up to 6 single speaker lines or 3 A/B lines. The system is scalable up to 36 lines in single-channel mode or 18 A/B lines in dual-channel operation. It features built-in amplifiers with 600 W or 300 W output and includes an active backup amplifier for maximum reliability.

Its ring network topology allows up to 255 nodes to be connected, with comprehensive system monitoring of all components including mains voltage, battery status, amplifiers, microphones, and speaker lines. Loop monitoring and End-of-Line (EOL) functionality ensure reliable detection of faults even on extended wiring runs.

With dual antiparallel 12 kHz live audio streams (for priority and backup calls), integrated text and voice memory modules, and advanced pre-/post-processing software for volume control, routing, switching, and prioritization, the VARES-1500 system meets the highest standards in safety, usability, and audio quality.
