Zenitel VSS-V2

Zenitel VSS-V2 (VSS) is a navigation system for receiving external audio signals, designed for ships with a closed bridge. It allows the navigator to pick up sound signals and determine their direction, which significantly increases the safety of navigation. The VSS-V2 meets SOLAS requirements and uses Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technology for active noise reduction, providing clear sound with minimal interference.

The VSS system is easy to install and consists of a single microphone device with four integrated directional microphones that are mounted on the roof of the wheelhouse. The bridge houses the main VSS panel, to which up to four additional panels can be connected. The system is also equipped with outputs for the flight data recorder (DDR) and a relay output for muffling typhon and warning system signals.
