V2IS 2 Way Automotive Intercom System

The Nortek V2IS 2 Way Automotive Intercom System is a UK-designed driver and passenger intercom system for vehicles where clear communication is needed across a protective screen or physical barrier. It is suitable for taxis, buses, coaches, passenger-carrying vehicles and other transport applications where the driver and passenger areas are separated.

Protective screens can reduce speech clarity and make normal conversation difficult between the driver and passengers. The V2IS provides a dedicated vehicle intercom solution that allows clear two-way audio communication while maintaining separation between the driver and passenger areas.

The V2IS operates from a 10V to 30V DC supply, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicle applications without requiring additional DC-DC converters. It is designed for automotive environments and can be used in taxi, bus, coach, Uber, passenger transport and similar applications.

Driver and passenger intercoms for vehicles with protective screens

A vehicle driver-passenger intercom system helps solve the communication problems created by perspex screens, safety screens and other physical barriers. These barriers can reduce speech volume and clarity, especially in noisy vehicle environments.

The Nortek V2IS system is designed to provide clear, responsive communication between the driver and passenger. It is particularly useful in vehicles where passenger communication, driver safety and clear instructions are important, including taxis, buses, coaches and other passenger-carrying vehicles.

Nortek V2IS 2 Way Vehicle Driver & Passenger Intercom System

With the increase in the number of protective screens fitted to vehicles such as Taxi’s and Buses to segregate the driver and passenger areas, so is the increase in the requirement for a 2-Way Vehicle Driver and Passenger intercom system to enable clear conversation to take place.

The V2IS is a dedicated Automotive Intercom System designed and manufactured in the UK. Its purpose is to provide clear, audio conversation between driver and passenger in a situation where they are separated by a perspex barrier – of which also provides a degree of screening against audio feedback.

The V2IS Driver – Passenger Intercom is designed to operate from a 10v – 30v DC Supply making it suitable for fitting into a wide range of vehicles in passenger carrying applications without the need or expense of additional DC-DC Converters and is directly suitable for Taxi Cab, Uber and Bus applications.

Although the V2IS Intercom has a strong established market for Automotive applications, with the addition of a suitable 12v – 24v power supply, it can also find its way into commercial applications, such as the counter screen of Post Offices, Banks, Petrol Stations and Toll booths.

The V2IS System, can be continuously powered, but has an additional control input which when connected to GND enables both the Driver and Passenger sections of the Intercom. This input can be connected to allow remote push to talk (PTT) switches controlled by each party, or alternatively can be activated by relays or control signals from elsewhere in the vehicle, such as automatically activating the intercom when the handbrake is applied. Connection is also available for an optional indicator “TALK” lamp(s) which give a visual indication of when the Mic circuits are active.

Typical Installation Overview

A pair of gain controls are accessible from inside the Main Unit which allow additional adjustment to each Microphone channel to allow for different applications and vehicle layouts.

Power, Signal and Loudspeaker Connections are made to the V2IS using a 12 way TE Automotive connector. Microphone inputs use 3.5mm jack sockets. The Speaker outputs can drive either 8 ohm and 4 ohm speakers (4 ohm recommended for maximum output)
