“Attention, Attention! An emergency has been reported in this building. Please stop operations and leave the building immediately. Use the nearest exit, or fire exit stairway. Do not use the elevators, repeat, do not use the elevators.”
“Attention, Attention! There is a weather emergency. Please proceed to the nearest shelter immediately.”
I asked Potter for them through email, but the worker said that they deleted the old messages when they upgraded them.
The first one is the emergency evacuation message heard on Edwards/EST-rebranded Evax panels, right? (it’s said by a male voice actor) As for the second one, I know of similar, but not identical, ones that can be found in one of Potter’s software programs (one male, one female: both have the exact same script).
What a dumb idea on their part & what a waste (provided he means that they deleted the original master recordings).
Ah okay, thought so. Yeah (especially with recent efforts by some to do so with several different brands’ EEPROMs).
Yeah (though it arguably kinda depends on whether they simply deleted them from newer renditions of whatever voice panel(s) of theirs uses them or whether they deleted the master recordings instead).
I’ve contacted Hochiki for the messages since they also have a rebranded EVAX, but I don’t know if they have that old message.
The worker also sent me some messages and tones, but I cannot give them out.
It’s copyrighted material, I can share the scripts though, and they appear to be from the same male voice actor.
Seriously? Jeez companies go way overboard with copyright nowdays…(it’s literally just audio files of a person talking people, not the nuclear codes for Pete’s sake!)
