🔊 Reaching people over long distances takes more than just turning up the volume.

Reaching people across large outdoor areas can be challenging, especially when background noise, weather conditions and distance affect speech intelligibility.

TOA's HA Series Long Range Horn Array Speakers are designed to address these challenges. Their focused sound dispersion helps deliver clear announcements over long distances while reducing noise spill to surrounding areas.

What makes the HA Series different?

🔸 Long-range coverage, with intelligible announcements demonstrated at distances of over 1 km in field tests

🔸 Wide horizontal and controlled vertical sound dispersion, helping cover large areas with fewer speakers

🔸 IP66 weather resistance, saltwater-resistant finishes and EN 54-24 certification

From public warning systems in urban areas to industrial sites, ports and large outdoor venues, the HA Series supports reliable communication where it matters most.

🔊 More watts = louder sound? Not necessarily.

Two loudspeakers can produce very different sound levels even when supplied with exactly the same electrical power. One important reason is their sensitivity.

And what happens when we increase the power?

For the same loudspeaker, doubling the electrical input power increases the sound pressure level (SPL) by approximately 3 dB under ideal conditions. But that doesn't mean the sound is perceived as twice as loud.

As a general rule of thumb, an increase of around 10 dB is perceived as roughly twice as loud. To achieve this increase with the same loudspeaker, approximately ten times the electrical input power is needed under ideal conditions.

So when comparing loudspeakers, wattage alone doesn't tell the full story.

Explore our Sound Basics graphics to see how power, sensitivity and perceived loudness are connected.

🏢 Our EMEA headquarters in Hamburg is now ISO 45001 certified. ✔️

The certification confirms that occupational health and safety are firmly integrated into our management system and processes, from assessing potential risks and defining responsibilities to involving employees and continuously improving our measures.

“Creating a safe and healthy working environment is an important responsibility for us as an employer. The ISO 45001 certification confirms the processes we have established and, at the same time, gives us a clear framework for continuing to improve them,” says Volker Scheid, Director at TOA Electronics Europe.

The certification was carried out by ZDH-ZERT GmbH.

A voice alarm system needs to do more than work under normal conditions.
The more important question is: what happens when something fails?

For system designers, resilience has to be considered at several levels:

⚡ Power
If mains power is lost, emergency power supply helps keep critical communication available.

🔁 Amplification
Depending on the system configuration, a standby amplifier can take over if an amplifier fails.

🌐 Network
Redundant network connections can provide an alternative communication path if if one path fails.

⚠️ System monitoring
Redundancy can keep the system operating when a fault occurs. Monitoring ensures that faults are detected and can be addressed before they compromise system resilience. The VX-3000 continuously monitors system components and speaker lines and provides fault indication when a problem occurs.

The TOA VX-3000 is certified according to EN 54-16 and can be implemented in decentralized architectures with redundant IP networking, allowing the system design to be adapted to large and complex facilities.

Resilience is therefore not one single feature.
It has to be considered across the system.

SIP, ONVIF and multicast are often mentioned together in IP security projects. But they solve three very different problems.
Understanding the difference helps explain how an IP-based platform such as the TOA CX-1000 can integrate into a wider security and communication infrastructure.

📞 SIP: connecting communication systems
SIP is a signalling protocol used to establish, manage and end voice calls over an IP network. It does not itself carry the audio, but enables compatible devices and systems to initiate and control communication.
In a CX-1000 installation, SIP allows the system to communicate with compatible third-party SIP phones and SIP-based systems.

✔️The benefit: existing compatible communication infrastructure can become part of the solution instead of requiring a completely separate, closed intercom environment.

📹 ONVIF: connecting IP video
ONVIF provides standardized interfaces for interoperability between IP-based physical security products.
CX-1000 supports ONVIF Profile S, allowing compatible network cameras to be integrated and their live video monitored from CX video operation stations.

✔️The benefit: operators can combine visual verification and communication in the same workflow, while integrators can connect compatible cameras without building the entire project around one proprietary ecosystem.

🔊 Multicast: distributing audio efficiently
Multicast is a one-to-many method of transmitting data over an IP network. Instead of the source creating a separate audio stream for every receiver, one stream can be distributed to a group of endpoints.
For CX-1000, this makes it possible to efficiently broadcast audio to large numbers of IP devices and zones. The system supports multicast broadcasting to up to 2,999 destinations.

✔️The benefit: paging can scale across larger sites without requiring an individual stream for every endpoint.

Why does all of this matter?
Real security projects rarely start with a blank sheet of paper. There may already be IP cameras, telephones, PA equipment or other networked devices in place, and requirements can change as a site grows.
By supporting SIP, ONVIF and multicast audio, the CX-1000 provides integrators with more freedom to combine compatible existing and new components, while giving end users a communication platform that can grow from smaller installations to complex systems with up to 3,000 connected devices.

Less isolated technology. More flexibility to integrate, expand and adapt!

👀 Video surveillance shows what is happening. Audio helps you respond. 🔊

We recently spotted this TOA horn loudspeaker installed alongside video surveillance equipment at a construction site in Germany.

In applications such as perimeter security, audio can complement visual monitoring by delivering live or prerecorded warnings and instructions directly where they are needed.

The same need for clear communication exists on a much larger scale. Across complex sites or multiple buildings, such as university campuses, hospitals or large public facilities, security teams may need to communicate across many zones while bringing different systems together.

This is where solutions such as our CX-1000 IP-based PA & Intercom System come in. Scalable to up to 3,000 connected devices, CX-1000 combines calls, paging and broadcasting across an IP network. It can also integrate compatible third-party systems, including existing ONVIF network cameras and SIP-based devices, helping bring monitoring and communication together within one platform.

From individual loudspeakers and IP audio to integrated PA & intercom and voice alarm systems for critical emergency communication, TOA has combined sound and safety expertise for decades, helping make sure important information is heard and understood when it matters most.

This connection between security and communication is exactly what we’ll be showcasing at the Adria Security Summit in Zagreb, 7–8 October. Eduardo Afendi Coutinho and Daniel Mellentin will be happy to discuss our solutions with you.

How do you achieve clear, intelligible communication across a more than 40,000 m² indoor tropical garden?

At Pairi Daiza Edenya in Brugelette, Belgium, TOA and local installer Eiffage-Collignon implemented a decentralised VX-3000 voice alarm and public address system supporting both everyday announcements and emergency communication.

Edenya is Pairi Daiza’s new tropical world, covering more than 40,000 square metres and comprising six themed indoor zones, each with its own architectural characteristics and acoustic challenges.

In the vast tropical garden, just 11 HA-2120EN horn array loudspeakers provide long-distance coverage of approximately 150 to 170 metres, complemented by different TOA loudspeaker types for public areas, technical spaces and elevated walkways.
