As the central brain of your intercom system, Avalon delivers the IP functionality modern productions rely on without unnecessary hardware overhead.
Arcadia-Level Power at Lower Cost
Maximize Your Savings
Avalon delivers the same core performance and capacity as Arcadia, supporting up to 200 licensed ports, 100 channels, and 300 roles, while eliminating the cost of built‑in analog hardware. The result is a powerful intercom engine optimized for IP workflows and cost‑efficient system expansion.
Modular by Design, Scale as you Grow
Expand Only as You Need
Need access to analog endpoints or additional user stations? LQ Series interfaces, Avalon can connect to Encore, Virtual Clients, and other devices as required.

Avalon delivers the essential IP performance teams rely on, with the flexibility to scale as needs evolve, while Arcadia offers a full all-in-one platform for more complex, wide-ranging deployments.
You start with the essentials and selectively add capabilities through LQ as requirements evolve.
This modular approach reduces system sprawl, avoids unnecessary spend, and streamlines your comms.
