Waves System Eventplayer mkII EP230

The Waves System (iD-AL) EventPlayer EP230 (50019) is a high quality audio player as well as a powerful and versatile Show Controller designed for non-stop operation. Its also ideal for class change signalling in a school. Built in Class D 2 x 20 watt amplifier. Features 8 opto-isolated inputs and 8 MOSFET outputs.

The solid state design with no moving parts ensures ultimate stability and reliability. Intelligent and standalone, the EventPlayer automatically runs an unlimited number of programmed shows creating attractive entertainment in commercial and leisure places and making it perfect for:  

  • In-store displays 
  • Exhibitions
  • Heritage centres, museum and galleries
  • Multiple message management in public spaces (shopping malls, airport lounges, railway stations)
  • School class change and lockdown systems
  • Special effects (musical fountains, fun fairs, escape games .. )

The EventPlayer reads MP3, WAV audio files and DMX sequences from files stored on a SD/SDHC* card or external storage device, USB stick, hard disk or card reader. 

Whichever control is required, for full automation or remote control and integration, the Eventplayer offers powerful time programming, Ethernet, RS232 serial link and interactive playback facilities on up to 8 input contacts. 

As a Show Controller, it executes DMX sequences, commands output contacts and provides an RS232 link to control other pieces of equipment. The EventPlayer controls all actions of the show in perfect synchronisation with the audio file. 

Show Control Sequencer

Show control is the ability to link together and operate multiple entertainment systems in a co-ordinated manner. The EventPlayer can control devices, lights, motors, valves etc in perfect synchronisation with the sound track.   
The show control sequencer allows creation of entertainment programs by recording successive status of the DMX output and the output contacts in relation to the associated audio track. Real time playback and modification is made available by connecting a USB/DMX interface like ENTTEC Open DMX USB Interface to a computer via the USB link.
