What PA? can offer you the perfect solution if
you're looking for a new PA System for your school or college, or if you need to
upgrade your old one.
Whether you need it for small Primary School assemblies and
plays or a large Secondary School or 6th Form College staging
presentation ceremonies, concerts and talent shows with wanna-be rock bands,
we can help.
We can also offer advice on the best portable systems if you need to be able
to move it around, and also on systems suitable for use outdoors at Sports
Days and fetes.
We offer a range of PA System Packages containing the most popular
equipment for your
size of school or college, then allow you to mix'n'match by adding on the
microphones, stands, CD players and accessories you need. We also offer an installation service in our local area of
Essex should you need it;
please call for details.

Most school enquiries are made by
PTA members or school secretaries who don't necessarily know too much about
PA systems - don't worry, we won't baffle you with
technical jargon! We will only call if you ask us to, and we won't pass your
email address on to anyone else.
If your existing PA system needs upgrading, just
drop us an email with the spec of the existing system and what you feel is
wrong with it. The most common problems are: no capacity for more microphones, not loud
enough, microphone signal dropping out, crackly, not compact or portable enough... can
you add to the list? We can suggest what you could add to the system or what could be
replaced, saving you money if you don't need a complete new PA system.
What size system do you need? As a guide to
how many watts of power you might need, we would recommend 1 watt per
audience member for the spoken word, and 2-3 watts per audience member if
you are also playing music. If you have a large stage and will be hosting
Live bands you may need more.

What size speakers do you need? 10" speakers
are fine for the spoken word. If you are amplifying keyboards or will have
music from a CD player or iPod then you will be better off with 12"
speakers. If you have vocalists on stage you might need to consider stage
monitors.

Wired or wireless microphones? We'd always
recommend wireless radio mics for Schools as it's safer not to have wires to
trip over.
