OK, I have a complete set here. I have the V-1030C, two powered V2000 bullhorns and a 24VDC transformer. The transformer powers the speakers directly and the the speakers plug into the 1030C. I suppose I could plug the voice leads from the bullhorns into the PA2A since the bullhorns are powered, but Viking says it's a bad idea as I already am driving 2 passive speakers.

I know it's an abortion - I almost hate to ask qustions like this. Yeah, a PA2A and 2 speakers is about 150 bucks, but they want me to be the hero and use what they have.

I am thinking I would rather set up paging zones. So if I used a spare extension and pulled the TR off that into the Valcomm and then created a phantom HG with that extension as the only member, and then set up a programmed intercom button for that HG, would that work? It makes more sense as these bullhorns are much louder and they want them mounted out in the open into a equipment yard.

OK, total brain fart here, gents. I apologize.

The equipment list (after taking it out of the box)

1 - V-2001A
2 - V-1030C
1 - VP-324 transformer

I got my part numbers switched in the original posts.

Ok, the V1030's will be powered by the 24VDC output from the V2001A. The V1030's will get their audio from the V2001A. The V2001A audio input will bridge across the output of the PA2A. The load on the PA2A will be negligible (Not Much). The Power for the V2001A and the V1030's will be provided from the power supply INside the V2001A. That's what the ac power cord connector on the V2001A is for. Go to www.valcom.com and get the installation manuals for the V2001A and V1030C, if you don't have them. They're free, Valcom wants you to succeed! Again, it really is that easy! John C. (Not Garand)

Ok, abortion was a poor choice of words. I just don't like mixing completely different components to make one system. My point was that all you needed was another Viking speaker for the existing PA2A. (It can drive 3.) You would of had to spend money to make that Valcom speaker work because you needed a power supply. Not a lot of money but then neither is another Viking speaker.

Anyway, since we have a different situation now that you have a Valcom V2001A, I like John's idea except that now I would probably put both the inputs (the PA2A and the V2001A) together on the Partner extension port. Just make sure battery is turned off on the V2001A.

If you want zones put the V2001A on another extension port, and put the two extensions in your 71, 72 and 73 hunt groups for zone 1, zone 2 and all page.

Cool, I hadn't thought of that. An all page function that is. Thanks for the idea. I think I'll go that route since I have quite a few unused extension ports.

I like it,too. Now somebody come up with help for my post in Installers. John C. (Not Garand)

To The guy wants to add a 1030c.

He dosen't need a Valcom 2000 control interface.

He needs to take the audio from the page port and and use a 24 transformer to run the 1030c.

The viking stuff is just that. This is another separate crkt of an existing page unit.

Now, Ive got a guy who hid an existing relay key on a 2565 set on a 551c.

Now that's trouble.
