Public Addressing System

A public addressing system (PA) consists of certain electronic devices such as microphones, loudspeakers, amplifiers, console and other acoustic sound sources which are used to produce sound or send messages in a noisy environment. Public addressing systems are usually employed in public venues where civilians or people gather in large groups. Important announcements or updates are communicated through public addressing systems in places like stadiums, prayer halls, railway stations, metro stations, subways, airplanes, and other relevant places. The best application of public address systems is for emergency communication or to pass updates during an emergency. The major constituents of Public addressing systems are Speakers and Amplifiers. Public Address systems are also called as sound reinforcement systems where a couple of acoustic sound sources are paired for the purpose of producing a sound of high quality. These devices further assist in amplification and distribution on soundwaves which are captured from a source these are mostly used for alerting people during an emergency. The key features of each of the following devices are as follows

Speakers

A loudspeaker is an electronic device that works as an acoustic transducer that captures electronic audio signals from a source and further amplifies them into sound. Public address system speakers are usually conical-shaped devices and are widely used in a dynamic environment. Besides these, there are also rectangular enclosures of speakers that are used for reproducing high audio frequencies called tweeters. Dynamic loudspeakers are usually for emergency communication or to alert people of large noisy groups. The quality of sound largely depends on the kind of materials used to build the frame of the speakers or the body of the speaker. At Vashishta we offer a wide range of products for public address systems speakers and these products are usually classified based on the following specifications.

• Speaker or driver type – Full range drivers or woofers or tweeters
• Size of the individual drivers. This factor is used to understand the scale of the equipment required to be employed in a particular place.
• Power supply rate
• Impedance of the system
• Type of enclosure or baffle
• Sensitivity
• Maximum sound pressure level

Amplifiers

Amplifiers or amps are devices used to strengthen voltages or power of signals. There are two major types of amplifiers, weak signal amplifiers or power amplifiers. Power amplifiers are usually used in sound reinforcement systems to amplify audio signals to a high-quality sound. Amplifiers are connected to speakers which become the final source for producing sound. Public address systems altogether are used in areas like stadiums, railway stations, metro stations, schools, prayer halls, industrial premises, and other similar places to make important announcements or for emergency communication. Public address speakers or amplifiers also are of high importance in the field of defense which are used for communication to people or fellow officers during emergency call outs.
