Public Address & Voice Evacuation
Zoned messaging. Life-safety broadcast that carries.
Jiva Technologies designs, integrates and supports public address and EN 54-16 voice evacuation systems commissioned end-to-end with fire alarm cause-and-effect logic. Coverage, intelligibility and statutory evidence are engineered into every installation.
Compliant PA / VA design and commissioning.
Priority override with fire cause-and-effect integration.
Dante and AES67 with redundant amplifier paths.
What we deliver
Speakers & Loudspeaker Systems
Ceiling, wall, horn, column and line-array loudspeakers matched to acoustic environment, coverage pattern and STI intelligibility targets across occupied areas.
Amplifiers & Signal Processing
Digital matrix amplifiers, DSP processors, networked audio over Dante and AES67 and redundant amplifier configurations for zoned distribution.
Zone-Based Paging
Multi-zone paging with priority override, scheduled announcements, background music routing and integration with reception and operator consoles.
Voice Evacuation (EN 54)
EN 54-16 / -24 compliant voice alarm with pre-recorded evacuation messages, phased evacuation logic and cause-and-effect integration with the fire panel.
Paging Mics & Consoles
Desktop paging microphones, zone-selector consoles, wireless paging and emergency all-call microphones with fault indication and monitored circuits.
Background Music & Content
Streamed background music, corporate radio, day-part scheduling, content library management and licensed music integration under PPL / PRS agreements.
PA / VA / Fire Integration
Interfacing with fire alarm panels for automatic evacuation broadcast, BMS integration for HVAC damper control and VMS pop-up on paging events.
Compliance & Testing
NBC 2016, NFPA 72, EN 54 and local AHJ certification, third-party commissioning and scheduled maintenance testing with signed reports.
Why teams call us
- Poor speech intelligibility
Speaker layout, tap settings and DSP tuning fail to hit STI targets in critical areas, so evacuation and paging announcements are not clearly understood.
- PA and fire systems not commissioned together
Cause-and-effect between fire alarm and voice evacuation is incomplete or untested, so phased evacuation messaging does not fire correctly during emergencies.
- Legacy amplifiers without redundancy
Single-point amplifier failures silence entire zones with no automatic changeover, no fault indication and no monitored spare capacity.
- No evidence of statutory testing
Scheduled functional tests, battery checks and fault logs are not maintained, invalidating AHJ acceptance, insurance and audit evidence.
Our approach
PA and voice evacuation delivered as a life-safety engineering discipline with measured intelligibility, redundant amplification and evidenced statutory testing.
- Assess
Acoustic survey, speaker inventory, STI measurement, amplifier redundancy audit, cause-and-effect review and AHJ evidence check.
- Design
Speaker layout, tap and DSP strategy, zone architecture, amplifier redundancy, evacuation logic and fire-panel integration to EN 54-16.
- Deploy
Cabling, speaker and amplifier installation, DSP tuning, cause-and-effect commissioning, fire-panel integration and operator training.
- Operate & Improve
Scheduled testing, battery replacement, fault-log maintenance, tuning after fit-out change and AHJ evidence packaging under support contracts.
End-to-End IT Integration and Support
From assessment and solution design through implementation, remediation, ongoing support, and lifecycle optimization.
Fix What's Broken — Remediation Sprints
Unreliable CCTV, access-control gaps, ELV / AV fault tickets or fire-safety systems drifting out of compliance? Jiva Technologies runs fixed-scope remediation sprints across surveillance, access, ELV and AV estates.
- CCTV, access-control, intrusion and intercom coverage-gap closure
- ELV, AV, public-address and digital-signage integration and cabling cleanup
- Fire-life-safety alignment and evidence pack for facility and compliance audits
Support & Maintenance — AMC-Backed
Keep surveillance and physical systems running after handover — device health, platform hygiene and vendor coordination under a Jiva AMC.
- L1 / L2 / L3 support for CCTV, access-control, ELV and AV platforms
- Preventive maintenance visits, firmware, sensor calibration and spares management
- Vendor coordination, licence renewal and periodic system-health reviews
