About Us
Find out more about our public address and voice alarm system capabilities.
What is a Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) system?
PAVA systems includes microphones, amplifiers, speakers, and supporting equipment designed to augment voice, music, and warnings to the public located within the building or facility. This type of public address system utilizes the human voice, musical instruments, and other acoustic or recorded sound for public broadcast.
In most cases, this type of system comes with a mixing console that allows for multiple channels to be used. The channels are usually divided into different inputs for microphones, music, and other sources.
The multiple channels and control of the speakers means that the PA system can be used across the entirety of the structure or specific locations inside the property to inform those inside of important information, play music, or provide other news or entertainment
