VZX-8
EIGHT ZONES. ONE BOX.
An 8-zone audio processor that runs the whole building from a browser, no app to install.
VZX-8 8-zone audio processor
An 8-zone audio processor with powerful DSP, flexible system control, and browser-based configuration.
- Analog Inputs
- Mic/Line Inputs
- GPIO / Control
- Zones
Take control of every room from one rack space. The VZX-8 mixes 20 sources into 8 independently processed zones, with 8 mic/line inputs, full-matrix DSP routing, and an EIN below -125 dB so the quiet rooms stay quiet. Configure it from any browser at its own zero-config web address, link V-Series amplifiers over RJ45, and add up to 8 VCS-8 call stations. Restaurant, retail floor, house of worship, transit hub. Set it once, and let it run.
Key features
Cover the whole building
20 processed sources mixed into 8 independent zones with full-matrix routing.
Set it up from any browser
zero-config web address, no app or dongle, with config backup to the included 32 GB microSD.
Keep quiet rooms quiet
EIN below -125 dB and THD+N under 0.003% at 0 dBu.
Wire the system clean
two RJ45 line-out ports drive V-Series amplifiers in a 1U, 55 W chassis.
Scale the controls
daisy-chain up to 8 VCS-8 call stations and 16 accessories over runs to 500 m.
Run the music onboard
built-in media player runs M3U playlists in MP3, WAV, or AAC; a message player triggers from call stations, GPIO, or the API.

Features
Take control of every zone from one rack space. The VZX-8 8-Zone Audio Processor combines 20 processed input sources, 8 independently processed zone outputs, and advanced DSP for commercial audio systems. A built-in Virtual Mixer adds AMM, ANC, AGC, EQ with FIR filtering, and more, while integrated loudspeaker presets for Electro-Voice and third-party loudspeakers help installers quickly optimize system performance. Configure the system from any browser, connect V-Series amplifiers over RJ45, and add up to 16 V-Series accessories—including VWP wall panel controllers and VCS-8 call stations—for flexible control and multi-zone paging.
- Process 20 sources across 8 independent zones — including 8 balanced mic/line inputs with full-matrix routing.
- Shape every input and zone with advanced DSP — including input EQ, compression, AGC, noise gate, effects, room EQ, loudspeaker EQ with FIR, and more.
- Mix live when the application calls for it — a built-in Virtual Mixer with automixing (AMM) and effects can be used on any zone and accessed from any browser.
- Play music and messages from 8 built-in digital players — use the included 32 GB microSD card for music and playlists, 300 MB of internal storage for short messages, and automatic microSD backups to help protect the system configuration.
- Optimize loudspeaker performance faster — SONICUE loudspeaker databases for Electro-Voice and supported third-party loudspeakers provide ready-to-use processing presets.
- Extend control where it is needed — two RJ45 accessory ports support cable runs up to 500 m per port and up to 16 connected accessories in total.
- Build out paging and local control — add VCS-8 call stations and VWP wall panel controllers for zone paging, source selection, level control, zone control, and more.
