PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM
The purpose of the Public Address System is
primarily for evacuation.
Channel music can also be played.
The PA system which will consist of the
following components.
Public Address System
A public address or PA system is electronic
amplification system with a mixer, amplifier and
loudspeakers, used to reinforce a given sound.
e.g., a person making a speech, a BGM playing
prerecorded music, and distributing the sound
throughout a venue or building.

School public address system
School public address system
PA systems are often used in
small venues such as school
auditoriums. PA systems with a
larger number of speakers are
widely used in institutional to read
announcements or declare states
of emergency. Intercom systems,
which are often used in schools,
also have microphones in each
room so that the occupants can
reply to the central office.
Public Address System
The PA systems consist of a microphone, a
modestly-powered mixer-amplifier (which
incorporates a mixer and an amplifier in a single
cabinet) and one or more loudspeakers. PA
systems of this type, often providing 50 to 200
watts of power, are often used in small venues
such as school auditoriums, churches, and
Hotels. A sound source such as a CD player or
radio may be connected to a PA system so that
music can be played through the system.
Public Address System
Public address systems typically consist of input
sources, preamplifiers and/or signal routers,
amplifiers, control and monitoring equipment,
and loudspeakers. Input sources refer to the
microphones and CD Players that provide a
sound input for the system. These input sources
are fed into the preamplifiers and signal routers
that determine the zones to which the audio
signal is fed. The preamplified signals are then
passed into the amplifiers.
Public Address System
Depending on a country's regulations these
amplifiers will amplify the audio signals to
50V, 70V or 100V speaker line level.
Control equipment monitors the amplifiers
and speaker lines for faults before it
reaches the loudspeakers.
Horn Loudspeakers
Some PA systems have
speakers that cover an
entire campus of a
college or industrial site,
or an entire outdoor
complex.
Horn loudspeakers are
often used to broadcast
sound to outdoor
locations
LINE ARRAY SPEAKER
A line array speaker system and
subwoofer cabinets at
a live music concert.
For popular music concerts, a
more powerful and more
complicated PA System is used
to provide live sound
reproduction. In a concert
setting, there are typically two
complete PA systems: the "main"
system and the "monitor"
system. Each system consists of
microphones, a mixing board,
sound processing equipment,
amplifiers, and speakers.
LINE ARRAY SPEAKER
Line Array Speakers provide optimal coverage and
dispersion characteristics. Available in slim, towerconfigured enclosures, these speakers also feature a
wide range of mounting accessories to enable
permanent installation in various venues.
The speaker output therefore maintains a uniform
sound pressure level that resists attenuation with
distance. The speaker features a linear design tailored
for distance sound transmission application and the
features a gently curved line designed for a 10 degree
vertical coverage area which offers ideal sound
coverage over a shorter distance.
Micro based Public Address System
Micro based Controller
6-zone system controller
Built-in 240 W booster amplifier
6 EMG input contacts.
6 Business input contacts.
Micro based Controller
The call station, amplifiers and routers are connected to
the Controller.
When an input is received from the call station to the
controller, the signal is sent to the router.
On receiving the signal the router selects the respective
zone using a pre-programmed micro processor and the
corresponding amplifier turns on.
Micro based Controller
The controller can be used as a standalone system with
up to 6 zones, or expanded to up to 60 zones using
additional 6-zone routers.
The system controller features a built-in 240 W power
amplifier, making it possible to drive up to 40
loudspeaker with a power handling capacity of 6 W
each.
Up to 8 call stations can be connected.
Interconnections are made using standard RJ45
connectors and CAT-5 cable.
Micro based Controller
The powerful 240 W output section has six transformer
isolated 100 V constant voltage outputs for driving 100
V loudspeakers in six separates zones.
The 100 V-technique reduces line losses on longer
distances.
Up to 255 messages can be stored in the internal 16MB
flash ROM.
Messages and configurations are uploaded from a PC
via USB into the memory.
Micro based Controller
After which the unit operates without PC connection.
The standard WAV-format is used.
This gives up to 17 minutes of recording time with CDquality signal to noise ration.
The unit has 12 contact trigger inputs for business and
emergency.

Emergency Evacuation
Internet Protocol Public Address
The paging to multiple locations on a network by
deploying VoIP over the existing LAN/WAN and
transmitting audio signals as an MP3 data stream over
the Ethernet links.
Microphones and speakers are treated as elements in
the network and are linked semi-permanently by means
of the Internet Protocol (IP).
To connect the elements in the network, it can simply
be done using a mouse and a PC user interface.
Internet Protocol Public Address
The conventional PA systems that require a
coaxial cable wired to every speaker you want to
send voice to, IP Network voice transmission
helps eliminate a lot of cabling, which leads to
considerable reduction of installation cost. It
also helps us overcome the conventional
transmission distance limitation, enabling new
ways to use PA systems, which were never
possible before.
Long Line Public Address
Internet Protocol Public Address
Using VoIP, PA Paging System is a robust, fullfeatured system that allows users to simultaneously
push an audio stream and/or a text message to multiple
IP phones, IP speakers and overhead paging systems.
An administrator can also select a pre-recorded
message or deliver a live broadcast through either a
password-protected web page or the IP phone services
menu.
Internet Protocol Public Address
Real-time message broadcast to remote
stations.
You can broadcast voice messages from any location in
the network, not just from your specific broadcast
control center. This can be done using a very simple
interface provided over Internet Explorer. The
messages broadcast are automatically recorded and
stored in the logs for future review as well as rebroadcast of the same message.
Internet Protocol Public Address
Pre-recorded message broadcast to remote
stations.
With pre-recorded message broadcast facility, you can
have a choice to select and broadcast a message from a
variety of messages that were recorded before or
messages that were broadcasted previously. All these
can be done with just a few clicks on the system.
Internet Protocol Public Address
Easy access to Admin/User panel from any
computer via internet Explorer.
Any broadcasting of new messages is automatically
recorded and added to the list of pre-recorded
messages. In this way, the same message can be
broadcasted again whenever required.
Logs of every event
With automatic logging of every event, system integrators can
easily troubleshoot the system that was integrated to the PA
System.
