Public Address Installed Systems
Public Address systems are common in most commercial buildings and public spaces for the communication of announcements, music and alerts. The types of Public Address systems are as wide and various as there are types of buildings and structures with considerations to volume, coverage and zoning configurations needed. So essentially nearly all Public Address systems are designed individually to best suit the environment, aesthetics and include the right features with a suitable amount of simplicity or complexity. As an example a factory space with high levels of noise from machinery would need a completely different type of system and components to a house of worship. Also a shopping arcade's needs would be different to a nightclub with live entertainment and a DJ.
This is why we offer free quotations following information gathering, and if required site inspections to offer the best solution for each customers needs as an individual, rather than a one size fits all scenario.
Listed below are some ideas and options available that may suit your general needs. All Public Address systems have some common components.
Firstly an input signal or music source to be distributed to the target audience or space. In the most simple of systems a desktop paging microphone is ideal for general paging and announcements by a receptionist or supervisor. Many phone systems can also interface with a PA system. Back ground music can be played via a variety of devices, like a radio tuner or CD player.
Secondly a mixer-amplifier, that will provide control and adjustment of the inputs and allow various levels of control and routing to the speakers. In most simple systems a combination mixer/amplifier of suitable output power to match the number of speakers is all that is required. In more complex systems a dedicated mixer with zoning features and remote panels can be used in conjunction with numerous booster amplifiers.
Finally the speakers. There are a vast range of speakers that have been designed for specific uses. Some examples are: Flush-mount ceiling or wall speakers, Surface mount speakers, weather-proof speakers, horn speakers and some special purpose designs.
Additional controls can be incorporated to provide more flexibility and system control. These can be located away from the main system components and allow control of a few speakers in an area or even more complex system operations.
