Overhead Paging Question

[stilts0724]

Hello everyone. We have a partner ACS R7.0 and I want to see if this is possible. We are trying to use a line for paging, and I have everything set up correctly. The problem comes with the amplifier we are trying to use. My boss wants to use the equpiment that we already have in house, and that means a standard amplfier. This amp has inputs for XLR (Microphone) and RCA plugs. Is there anyway to convert the Tip/Ring signal from the ACS to either of these singals? I cut open a telephone cord today and was trying to connect the red and black wires from the telephone cord to the tip/sleve of an RCA jack, but I don't get any signal. Does anyone know of an actual adapter that is available or if this is even possible at all. Thanks so much.

Use CO position 5 - red/green (center pins) will be audio and Yellow/Black (pins 2 & 5 if using 6-pin connector) will be a contact closure if your amplifier requires. Should go to an AUX or telpage input on amplifier. Program CO 5 as external page. Good luck

Got it! Thanks. I was using the red and black wires, not the red and green. Figures, it the Christmas colors....

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for your help!
