Description
If your phone system's built-in paging just isn't loud enough to reach every corner of your facility, the Viking PA-30 delivers a full 30 watts of clean amplified audio to drive the speakers you already have — or a whole new paging zone.
The PA-30 connects directly to a paging port or unused trunk port on virtually any phone system — electronic key systems, 1A2 key systems, PABXs, no-KSU setups, and multiline phones — making installation straightforward without the cost of additional paging cards, relays, or bells. It can drive up to 30 eight-ohm speakers or up to 50 speakers on a 70-volt distributed audio system, so it scales from a small office to a large warehouse or campus building with ease.
Beyond paging, the PA-30 handles loud ringing and night bell duties, plays background music from an external source, and even works as a standalone power amplifier. Four selectable ring tones, individual volume controls for each audio source, and a 600-ohm output for daisy-chaining additional amplifiers give you real flexibility in how you deploy it.
Our Expert Take: The PA-30 is a reliable workhorse for facilities that need a single, cost-effective box to handle paging, loud ringing, night bell, and background music all at once. The separate volume controls for each audio source — paging, ringing tones, auxiliary input, and background music — are a genuine time-saver during setup and make day-to-day adjustments simple. If your paging needs grow, the 600-ohm loop output lets you chain multiple PA-30 units together for expanded coverage without redesigning your system from scratch.
