A PA system or Public Address system is an electronic sound amplifier and distributor which can be used to make announcements in places where sound pollution is at its peak. PA systems are widely used in Dhaka, and Bangladesh in general.
A PA system consists of one or more microphones , speakers, a mixer (to regulate volume, tone and balance of different voices), and an amplifier. The microphone transforms sound into electrical signal, it is plugged into a mixer,it allows multiple channels of sound to be broadcast at varying levels.The amplifier magnifies the audio signal, loudspeakers transforms the electrical signal back into sound.
PA system devices are mainly used in railway stations, offices, schools or any large building where loud sound is required so that it is still audible over all the noise. It is also used in places where announcements are made, like stadiums, museums and other public venues. A sound system is required for any conference and meeting. They are an integral part of any modern building, public and household alike. These systems play a major role in security too, ensuring household safety of millions of people around the world.
In today’s world, communication is one of the keys to running any business, organization or any other type of work firm. Lots of people work together in any company. To establish proper communication between all concerned people in a work-space, PA system are extremely important and helpful. The PA system allow a person or a group of people to communicate and voice their message directly to all people. Not only does this help to establish proper workflow in an organization, but it also furthers security and redundancy in production. With the help of PA systems, notifications for particular people or groups of people, enforcing standards, maintaining security, addressing issues, etc. can be easily done. Without PA systems, these functions would require a high amount of additional time, labor and resources.
TOA – TOA has a long reputation of providing people with proper sound systems for all their uses. Based in Japan, they are famous for their decades of top quality sound products, ranging from microphones and amplifiers, to wireless and security products. Along with the production of regular use systems, TOA conference system keeps an eye out for the future, constantly developing new and advanced products for the next generation. Their top models are the A-1000 AS series amplifiers for small events or places like small offices, the A-1724 for a broader coverage for big supermarkets, mosques, factories and the like, and the A-2000 series for massive scale applications like big complexes and events.
Ahuja – Ahuja Radios is India’s largest manufacturer and exporter of PA system. Their experience and knowledge, dating back from their establishment in 1976, is reflected in the products. They have already gained much fame for their long lasting and high quality products. Their product lineup is one to suit all types of PA system applications.
TOA power amplifier well-suited for broadcasting paging and supplying background music in restaurants, pubs, shops, houses of worship and so on.
