Who Does it Help?
Recent studies have shown that the use of background music within a Public Address or PA system can improve productivity & staff morale, its also has a positive influence on customers actions when browsing and purchasing.
What else can I use my PA system for?
Technical Services can integrate you Public Address or PA System with other Audio ancillaries such as Induction loops, Infrared Hearing systems, for the Hard of hearing and CD/MP3 & IPOD players for background music.
Although Music can be played through Public Address system, typically the speakers are designed for penetration and coverage as opposed to full range quality, this is often why sometime the music can sound” tinny” as the speaker lacks any low frequency response, it does however make up for this with the area it can cover for voice announcements.
Music Horns are also available which gives you a better sound, alternatively try looking at our pro sound page.
Public Address over ip
Much like other technologies Public Address has also adapted to the IP industry allowing existing sites with traditional 100V PA systems to utilise new IP Data Networks and Audio Gateways.
Allowing existing Amplifiers and Speakers to be linked over Fibre or IP Networks
Giving operators easy fingertip controls for the following
- Alarm buttons for functions such as Lockdown or Panic Alarm
- Announcement Scheduler for class change in a school or product offers in a retail store
- Announcement recording software
- Speaker health check
- Two-way audio speaker functionality
ALTERNATIVELY YOU CAN:
Use a full IP solution by using POE IP Audio Speakers which are available in: Ceiling, Wall, Projection, Columns Horn, Music Horn, Sphere & Vandal Speakers.
Or to take pics from website: View this example
The IP POE (Power over Ethernet) active speakers have built in amplifiers and are individually addressed so they can be part of a single or grouped zone
They can easily be added to existing IP networks which may have already been installed around the site, this can save costs as opposed to the installation of new 100V speaker cables. The cost of the speaker can sometimes reflect this, which is why Technical Service will always offer a suitable solution for your Public Address Project
