Dynacord VZX-8 Zone Audio Processor

The new Dynacord VZX-8 is the much anticipated addition the new power amp range and offers a range of amazing new features. Designed for multizone applications such as bars, clubs, RSAs, regional airports, shopping malls and more.

At the core of the platform lies the VZX-8 8-Zone Audio Processor – a powerful and flexible front-end. Far more than a simple zone mixer, it is equipped with extensive I/O capabilities, internal storage and sophisticated signal processing for more complex audio setups. To ensure security, the VZX-8 is password protected for different user roles and credentials.

The audio processor provides eight zone outputs and facilitates up to 20 processed input sources, including eight balanced mic/line inputs with phantom power. A total of eight GPIO ports are freely assignable as analog or digital inputs and outputs, with two ready/fault contacts for supervision. For integration with PA/VA systems, an emergency override input for line level or 70/100v signals is also available.

Inside, a comprehensive DSP package delivers maximum flexibility for background music, paging tasks and smaller live performances. Allowing full matrix flexibility without the complexity of an open-architecture DSP, the VZX-8 offers both standard and advanced DSP functionality including EQs, ducking, compression, Automatic Gain Control, Noise Gate, FX, room EQ and FIR-based speaker presets. Eight zone mixes are available, with multiple active sources. Levels of the output zones can be managed with Ambient Noise Compensation (ANC) to adapt automatically to ambient conditions. When needed, individual delay lines and subwoofer time alignments can be configured for optimal performance in larger spaces.

A virtual mixer with Automixer (AMM) and FX also facilitates live mixing on any zone making it ideal for houses of worship, bars with DJs, or fitness classes. A unique Virtual Mixer URL and QR code is provided to prevent unauthorised changes to the rest of the audio system.

The VZX-8 comes with a 32 GB MicroSD card, enabling storage of music, messages, automatic configuration backups and more. Setups can be easily copied and transferred between systems using the VZX web app. A built-in message player allows for message triggering via GPIOs, the VCS-8 8-Zone Call Station, or other connected devices.

The VZX-8 is a highly versatile multi zone processor to suit many everyday applications.

Set up via simple GUI.

The VZX-8 8-Zone Audio Processor features 20 processed input sources, 8 processed zone outputs and advanced DSP features including a Virtual Mixer with AMM, ANC, AGC, EQ with FIR, and more.
