We have all experienced the application of public address systems in our day-to-day life. We see / hear Public Address systems in use in Hotels, Football Grounds, Shopping Centres, Banks, Post Offices, Supermarkets, Offices, Factories and at Concerts to name but a few.

In basic terms a Public Address system utilises microphones, amplifiers and speakers to provide an audio announcement or provision of information to a specified group of people. This could be office staff, keeping customers informed of promotions within a shop or public service announcements etc.

Studies have shown that the use of background music within Public Address systems can improve staff morale, productivity, and the workplace environment. It has also been demonstrated that the type or speed of music played can influence a customer’s actions e.g. browsing for longer, shopping more quickly.

In many cities the use of a Public Address system, additionally designed to provide emergency/evacuation announcemnets ahve significant to the safe and systematic automated evacuation of your building. Pre-recorded messages and back-up battery systems support this useage and has dramatic positive effect over a siren when requiring your building to be evacuated in an emergency. Buildings in Central London have a compulsary requirement to have these systems fitted.

Public Address systems can easily be installed as a simple stand-alone system or it can be integrated within CCTV, Access Control or Fire Alarm Systems. One of the most flexible features of Public Address is its vast range of use, from a simple system within a doctor’s surgery to a complex system such as is used in an international airport.
