Feature IP Audio Speakers
One solution for hard-pressed education decision-makers is to install the latest in internet-powered audio speaker systems. Today’s systems are at the cutting edge of reliable, efficient and future-proof networking solutions, providing a wide range of security and operational advantages for staff and leadership teams. They deliver significant financial benefits thanks to simplified installation, cabling routing and network infrastructure configuration, while state-of-the-art control technology offers a whole host of quick and easy to use functions and features at the user’s fingertips - all of which is available and managed from a central point.
A good system can make a huge difference in ensuring that important announcements and notifications are heard clearly throughout the school. However, not all PA systems are created equal. Before making a decision about which PA system to install in your school district or school, there are a few key things to consider.
• Site-wide coverage An effective audio speaker system should be able to reach everyone across the entire campus. When evaluating potential systems, consider the size and layout of your grounds and make sure that the system is powerful enough to cover the entire area. Also, with expert help consider the location and positioning of speakers - ensure that they will be able to reach all areas including hallways, classrooms, as well as outdoor spaces and playing fields.
• Simple-to-use
The specified system should be easy for anyone to use, including principals, administrators, and other members of staff. Choose a system that is reliable, simple to operate and have intuitive interfaces, such as clearly labelled buttons and easy-to-use future proof software and capabilities. Can the system send emergency alerts, schedule bells, and upgrade firmware through a single dashboard?
• Visual link-up Your system is not only an audio system, but it can also be part of an eye-catching one. As the visual aspect of an audio speaker system becomes increasingly apparent, particularly when it comes to emergency communication, quick and clear visual signage can be just as important as clear audio announcements. Consider incorporating visual signage with your PA system vis IP displays, which can be used to display emergency messages, school announcements, and other important information. This could be particularly useful in schools where some students may be non-English speakers or for compliance for deaf students, where clear visual messages are needed.
• In the event of an emergency… If an emergency is declared, it’s crucial that the school can be quickly and effectively locked down – and an IP audio system
• Is the price right? Audio speakers are a beneficial investment. Make sure you consider the whole cost of the system, including the initial purchase price, installation costs, and ongoing maintenance expenses – it’s important to remember that a high-quality system is a valuable asset that will serve the school for many years. Speakers linked together via a secure network and connected to a central control point in the office, where an operator can implement a partial or full-scale school lockdown at the touch of a button, depending on the level of the threat or violence, are a cost-effective option for hard pressed school budgets.
Make A Difference
IP audio speaker systems can make a huge difference to school communications, reaching every corner of the campus to help keep people safe and secure in the event of an emergency. Modern IP technology makes them easy to use for schools, delivering scalability, and ensuring they can be utilised for other applications such as public address (PA) or broadcasting music, while in-built system scalability can accommodate any expansion or change in future requirements and infrastructure. In short, properly evaluating and choosing the right system will make communication more efficient and effective for everyone in the school.

can quickly and clearly broadcast emergency announcements and instructions. Look for systems that are compatible with panic buttons and other emergency notification systems, and allow for easy switching between pre-recorded emergency messages and live announcements. Today’s systems allow for integrated emergency paging and announcement functionality. For example, when a panic button is pressed, an emergency message will be immediately broadcasted via the system. So having an emergency system integrated with the audio speaker system will save precious time in emergency situations.
