Detailed Description Talk 8
Talk 8 provides live and stored-message paging for an Optimal Audio Zone system. Users can address a single zone, a selected group or the whole venue. WebApp configures the zone groups, paging priorities and scheduled routines needed for announcements throughout the day.

The illuminated TALK button supports latching and momentary operation, with an optional pre-announcement chime. Six replay buttons give direct access to stored messages. Audio files are loaded into the 4 GB memory through USB-C, which is also used for firmware updates.
A three-pin XLR microphone input includes switchable 48 V phantom power, adjustable gain and a fixed high-pass filter. The CAT5 connection carries audio, data and power from the Zone controller. A compatible system can use up to two paging stations, with priorities set to suit the venue.
