Designed for our fixed and portable Information
Radio Systems, the NX8R Digital Message Player
allows operators to record up to 1,000 broadcast
messages and store three hours of recordings in
nonvolatile flash memory. This means, no message
(battery) backup is required. Additionally, NX8R
provides eight external contacts to initiate
various message playlists, live audio segments
and event sequences.
NX8R is a direct upgrade to our earlier
RAM-based digital message players (AP55 and IP8)
with similar protocols and command sets, so
relearning protocols is kept to a minimum for
existing operators.
Features listed in
green
below are exclusive to the NX8R Digital Message
Player compared to any others on the market.
