Description
If your paging system needs more than a single tone to get people's attention, the Viking MTG-10 gives you ten contact-controlled audio tones in one compact unit — from door chimes to ANSI compliant evacuation signals.
The MTG-10 connects directly to any 600 ohm paging source, such as a phone system paging port or background music feed. When a contact closure is triggered on any of the inputs, the MTG-10 automatically fades out the background audio and plays the appropriate tone over your paging system. No manual switching, no interruption delays — just clean, reliable tone delivery. The siren and evacuation whoop tones always take priority, automatically overriding any other tone in progress when it matters most.
This unit is a natural fit for schools, warehouses, healthcare facilities, office buildings, or any environment that needs distinct audio cues for different events — whether that's a door chime at the front entrance, an emergency evacuation signal, or a telephone recording disclosure tone that repeats automatically every 15 seconds to keep your organization compliant.
Our Expert Take: The MTG-10's built-in audio fade-in/fade-out is a feature that often gets overlooked but makes a real difference in professional installations — no jarring cutoffs when a tone fires over background music. The ANSI/NFPA compliant evacuation whoop is particularly valuable for facilities that need to meet life-safety code requirements without sourcing a separate tone generator. If you only need a single tone or a simpler trigger setup, a basic tone generator may suffice, but for sites that need ten distinct, organized tones across two groups, the MTG-10 handles it cleanly in a surprisingly small package.
