Voice alarm systems (VAS) – Clarity in an emergency
In dangerous situations, seconds can determine safety and life. Voice alarm systems (VAS) ensure that those affected are not only warned, but also given targeted information. Instead of a siren signal, people receive clear instructions on what to do – and can immediately take the right steps. RCS AUDIO-SYSTEMS develops and manufactures VAS solutions that work in critical moments – reliably, intelligibly and certified according to all relevant standards.
Why voice alarm is essential
Studies and practical experience show: unclear alarm signals such as sirens are often misinterpreted or ignored. Voice alarm, on the other hand, provides clear information, indicates escape routes and calms the situation. This allows evacuations to be carried out in an orderly, fast and calm manner. Whether fire, technical fault or security threat: clear announcements guide people safely out of the danger area.

More than just alarm notification – extended application possibilities
A voice alarm system (VAS) is more than just an alarm notification system. It can also serve as a call system, announcement and sound reinforcement system – in everyday use as well as in dangerous situations. In combination with an emergency and danger response system (NGRS), it enables direct communication between affected persons and the building control centre, for example in schools during active threat or emergency situations.
