Historical origins ...
PASO S.p.A. is an industrial company established in 1973 as the result of the enthusiastic work
of the managerial and technical staff previously employed by the historical Milan-based com-
pany GELOSO, active since 1931 and international leader on the market of professional sound-
broadcasting. PASO took over GELOSO’s trademark, their patents and a valuable heritage of
experience, skills and technical knowledge.
With roots firmly embedded in solid and prestige know-how, the company continued to increase
its knowledge in the field of system and industrial engineering, with the primary aim of constant
evolution of its Public Address products, in terms of technology, quality and reliability.
As a result of the company’s experience with discussion and conference systems, in 2000 the
trademark “AULA” was created to distinguish a line of top-of-the-range products for managing
congresses.

... an important reality.
PASO S.p.A., a company of the FBT Elettronica S.p.A., is now a leading company on the sound-broadcasting and congress
system markets and is highly appreciated both in Italy and abroad.
The key issue of the company’s policy is customer satisfaction, achieved by ensuring top-quality products and a top-quality
service, pursued consistently and with enthusiasm, and supported by a catalogue of products able to meet all sorts of
different needs as well as by a competent and professional sales department. All this is topped by the guarantee provided
by the Quality System certified according to the latest version of UNI EN ISO 9001.
In the current global marketplace context, PASO S.p.A. claims with well-justified pride its identity as an Italian manufactu-
ring company that designs, develops, makes and markets its own products. Thanks to the commitment and professional
skills of its personnel, the company has always remained in step with the technological evolution of both its products and its
manufacturing activities, complying with the appropriate standards and directives that have succeeded each other in time.

it is necessary to use the card-cage
provided for this purpose. PMD am-
plifiers differ from one another only in
terms of output power and size (two
125-W or 250-W amplifiers occupy the
same space as one 500-W amplifier).
Each PMS2001 card-cage can contain
two 500-V amplifiers or four PMD125-V
or PMD250-V amplifiers, or any inter-
mediate configuration.

Repeated expansion in multiples of 80 is possible by including one or
more SDB200 amplifiers on the signal line.
SDP220 • Amplified six channel receiver

This unit demodulates the signals distributed by the SDM200 modula-
tor. Even when the receiver is switched off, it can be activated from a
remote station, by means of a 12V control. This feature enables forcing
of emergency signals to be sent out for single receiving zones. The
module can be powered by a 12 VDC source or from the 230 VAC po-
wer mains through an SDT100 transformer contained in the SDA200-
T loudspeaker module. The channels are selected cyclically by means SDP220 SDP220-N

This module must be used if the length of the line attenuates the signal
excessively or, in any case, if the number of SDP220 receivers is grea-
ter than 80. Each SDB200 enables a further 80 receivers to be added.
It is possible to expand the system to a practically unlimited number of
receivers using the appropriate additional SDB200 amplifiers. For the
230 Vac mains power, it is necessary to add the SDT101 transformer.

different modes, depending on requirements:
• STEREO. Amplifier with two stereo channels (L + R)
• BRIDGE (mono). Amplifier with a single channel featuring a higher

output power (bridge connection). If a stereo source is connected

These specifications, combined with the possibility of powering the
amplifier from a source ranging from 12 to 24 VDC, ensure excellent

Connection of stations
With the amplifiers of the AX6000 range, connecting a PMB106-G mi-
crophone station, so as to enable messages to be sent to one or more
receiving zones is simple and quickly done. It is essential to use SFTP
CAT.5E shielded cables (IN UNITS input), and it is possible to connect
up to 16 stations in cascade fashion over a maximum distance of up
to 1 km. If necessary, the bases can be powered by means of their
rear-panel sockets. The output level is adjustable by means of the ap-
propriate front-panel control (MIC/UNITS).
BACKGROUND MUSIC
This equipment enables activation/de-activation of BACKGROUND
MUSIC in the chosen zone by means of the switches provided for this
purpose on the front panel. The appropriate LED will light up to confirm
that the music has been activated in the zone in question.
Configuration micro-switches
The main feature of the AX6000 range is the presence of micro-
switches on the rear panel enabling the settings of all the operational
parameters of the equipment to be checked and/or changed. Speci-
fically, it is possible to manage priorities among the various different
audio inputs, to enable a warning signal, to enable VOX (automatic
activation) of the MIC1 input and to programme the zones for calls by
means of a precedence contact and from the telephone/emergency
input.
Telephone/Emergency Input
There is a special audio input (TEL/EMERG) on the rear terminal block,
balanced with a transformer and with automatic activation of prece-
dence (VOX). Controls for adjusting the level and the activation th-
reshold are provided on the rear panel. This input can be used for
connecting the appropriate audio output of a telephone switchboard.
USB/SD card module for the AX6000 range, with remote control
Each amplifier of the AX6000 range has a compartment for housing AC6000 USB/SD Card reader
an optional module enabling an external device such as an SD/MMC
card or a USB storage unit to be played. The player has a display for
indicating the presence/lack of a SD/MMC/USB medium, the chosen
functions and information about the tracks. A remote control unit is
also provided with the module.
Functional features
• Keys for normal control of how the tracks are played out (PLAY/
PAUSE, PREV, NEXT, STOP)
• RANDOM function for playing out the tracks at random
• REPEAT function for playing out one or more pieces of choice
• PROGRAM function for playing out a pre-set sequence of pieces

If this amplifier is used in emergency systems, it is possible to disable
all the front-panel controls (tone and volume controls). In this way it
is possible to prevent the levels set at the time of commissioning the
system from being altered accidentally.

AWF/HV and AXF/HV range | Industrial amplifiers
4 kV insulation
The peculiarity of these amplifiers is that they are able to withstand high voltages between the mains
power supply/loudspeaker outputs and the frame, even reaching up to 4 kV. This feature increases
the safety of the system, preventing possible discharges on the mains or on the loudspeakers con-
nections from passing along the audio chain thus causing serious damage or personal injury.
This built-in amplifier has a standard format that enables it to be mounted also inside telephone type
cabinets. The fact that it can be directly wall-mounted using the special backplate enables it to be
used in all situations in which there is little room available.
The input of the amplifier is electronically balanced. For special needs, for example in case of particu-
larly long connecting lines or lines prone to interference, it is possible to isolate the input galvanically
by means of an optional TM92 card equipped with a line transformer.
Each amplifier is equipped with a diagnostics card able to provide a high number of additional fun-
ctions (line impedance measurements, amplifier diagnostics, check of integrity of the loudspeaker
line, volume control, selection of two inputs, failure-signalling relay control, possibility of including a
‘LOW CUT’ filter, operation in the ‘LOW POWER’ energy-saving mode).
In addition to all the operations and/or checks set locally by means of the micro-switches, it will also
be possible to alter all the parameters via the TS485 serial interface.
Models AXF120-HV and AXF240-HV have four inputs with RJ45 sockets on the lower panel: one
input for a B711-G microphone station (BASE) and three auxiliary inputs (AUX1, AUX2 and AUX3).
These inputs, which are electronically balanced, are switched to one another and have their own
order of priority: the BASE input has priority over inputs AUX1/2/3, input AUX1 over AUX2/3 and input AUX2 over AUX3. On each of them, switching
of the inputs takes place by means of a positive power supply from outside. There is a voltage on sockets AUX1/2/3 that is cut off in the event of
failure of the amplifier or if it is switched off. This enables operation of the amplifier to be monitored from a remote station. There is a ‘busy’ signal on
sockets AUX 2 and AUX 3 when the BASE input or the AUX 1 input are active.

to broadcast sound. The current running through the loop generates
a variable magnetic field in the room that is “induced” in the coil of
the hearing aid. As a rule, this magnetic field is sufficiently strong to
enable the person to move about freely, still enjoying a comfortable
level of reception.

Amplified Sinto-CD/mp3 and USB/SD Card player • 6 output zones
Connection of stations
With the compact systems of the PA6000 range, connecting a
PMB106-G microphone station, so as to enable messages to be sent
to one or more receiving zones is simple and quickly done. It is es-
sential to use SFTP CAT.5E shielded cables (IN UNITS input), and it is
possible to connect up to 16 stations in cascade fashion over a maxi-
mum distance of up to 1 km. If necessary, the bases can be powered
by means of their rear-panel sockets. The output level is adjustable by
means of the appropriate front-panel control (MIC/UNITS).
Music volume control

These units enable separate control of the volume of the background
music broadcast to the single zones, thanks to the specific front-panel
‘ZONE MUSIC LEVEL’ controls.
Configuration micro-switches
The main feature of the PA6000 range is the presence of micro-
switches on the rear panel enabling the settings of all the operational
parameters of the equipment to be checked and/or changed. Speci-
fically, it is possible to manage priorities among the various different
audio inputs, to enable a warning signal, to enable VOX (automatic
activation) of the MIC1 input and to programme the zones for calls by
means of a precedence contact and from the telephone/emergency
input.
Multi-function module
Each unit of the PA6000 range has a multi-function module with a
tuner/ CD/MP3 player that also enables external devices such as SD/
MMC cards to be played and an USB storage unit.
The module has a display for indicating the presence or lack of CD/
SD/MMC/USB media, the chosen functions, information about the
tracks and the type of tuning selected. All the keys needed for control
of the module are accessible on the front panel: selection of the device
to be used, controls for playing out the tracks in the normal module,
programming functions for listening to the pieces of music, repeating
them or playing them out in random order. The AM/FM tuner can be
used for automatic or hand tuning and for storage of 10 programmes
in both bands.

Sound columns |
C400 “SLIM LINE” range
C440-T A compact size and high acoustic performance are the typical features of the sound co-
C440-EN lumns of the C400 range. Each column consists of a weight-bearing structure made
of extruded aluminium painted pale grey, a solid front grille and sealed shockproof end
panels. Each column has a swivelling support for quick securing to a wall and a constant-
C430-T voltage line transformer. Connections to the various sockets are made via the cable co-
C430-EN ming out of the column. A pair of sliding guides running along the whole height of the rear
of the column enables the S4-B swivelling support included in the supply to be positioned
so as to simplify mounting. The acoustic properties of this sound column are characteri-
sed by great intelligibility of speech and excellent reproduction of music, in addition to the
limited size. This means that they are the ideal choice for places that are difficult from the
C451-TW acoustic point of view, where uniform distribution of the sound and excellent directivity are
C420-T required. Model C451-TW is also suitable for outdoor use in poor weather conditions.

CS2000 | Conference systems
Discussing, voting, informing... PASO makes them easy!
The secret of a smooth-running and successful conference often lies

in the possibility of managing it properly, arranging the contributions in
a logical order, controlling their length and the manner in which they
are delivered, and requesting and obtaining rapid and clear respon-
ses from the meeting with regard to specific issues. All this has to be
achieved with perfectly clear and intelligible sound messages.
PASO conference systems are able to meet these needs in a simple

and orderly way, providing the right response for any requirements in
terms of the system, from the simplest for small discussion groups, to
more complex ones for large meetings or conventions (in which up to
100 microphone units can be installed).
The CS2080 system, for discussion only, or the CS2100 system, for
managing conferences calling for electronic voting, are the ideal choi-
ces capable of ensuring exceptionally good price/performance ratios.
Simple and elegant desktop design, ABS structure fitted with non-slip
feet, extremely user-friendly and rational controls. The stations for
CS2000 conference systems are available in two versions: the B2080
range for discussion only and the B2100 range for discussion and
voting.

This new catalogue which includes totally innovative product lines, is intended to
mark the Company’s constant commitment. It is a useful tool for designing and creating
sound amplification and conference systems for small and medium-sized applications.
PASO also offers complete solutions for audio systems applied to emergency services
and congress systems. For further information, please visit www.paso.it.
Sound broadcasting system

Sound-broadcasting installations, especially if they are complex and require high levels
of safety and flexibility, must be combined increasingly frequently with sophisticated
systems for managing and controlling the various components, for flexible selection
of the inputs and outputs and for interfacing with external peripheral equipment. For
these and other demanding applications, PASO offers several solutions such as, by way
of example, the master/slave multizone units (P8136/P8236), an extremely versatile
professional voice/music distribution “system” capable of meeting the most complex
system specifications.
Voice Evacuation Systems (VES)

On premises featuring the presence of large numbers of people, it is essential to have
a suitable sound-broadcasting system that, activated by the fire alarm control unit, is
able to manage emergency situations, enabling guided and controlled evacuation of
the building. The European standards now in force define specifically the design and
installation terms required in order to meet the appropriate safety and reliability require-
ments. PASO can offer solutions that comply in full with the voice evacuation and safety
standards (EN 54-16, EN 60849).
Congress systems
The secret of a successful conference depends on the use of congress systems able
to guarantee clear and intelligible speech, together with evolved management tools
enabling the use of advanced information and multimedia services. The CS2000 and
AULA conference systems are able to meet these requirements in a simply and orderly
manner, offering an elegant solution “Made in Italy”.
