Public Address System
Public address systems are an essential tool in communication throughout a premises or campus. Pan Arabia (PAIS) has years of experience installing and servicing a wide range of audio video and public address equipment. Public address systems can broadcast information from single or multiple sources to large groups of people in: Specific areas of a building “zones”, All areas of a building “all call”.
Messages are sent from an operator via a microphone console or telephone handset and are routed through amplifiers before being distributed from speakers in the designated areas. PA Systems can distribute music into work places from digital media or radio.
Voice Alarm Systems form part of the Fire Alarm Systems evacuation system where a spoken message gives clear details of the problem and identifies the necessary action to be taken. It has been proven to be the fastest and safest method of evacuation because it delivers an emergency attention drawing signal followed by a recorded message, whilst also delivering live emergency announcements from the fire officer.
What can Pan Arabia (PAIS) provide you?
Pan Arabia (PAIS) can provide you with the confidence that your system will be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with Standards. We will conduct site visits to establish and agree your needs and ensure that your system meets your exact requirements.
As legislative requirements of audibility and intelligibility can be stringent in complex acoustic conditions, it is critical that a system is designed and specified properly.
If a new public address system is required, our implementation process includes:
- Examining your public address specification requirements, including minimum sound pressure levels and post installation speech intelligibility testing eg. STI or RASTI testing.
- Providing a detailed evaluation of the space that the PA system will serve.
- Seeking compliance with any performance specification and / or relevant standards.
If a public address system has already been installed, we will undertake commissioning exercises to determine the electro-acoustic performance of the system. This is likely to include measurements of speech intelligibility and audibility testing. Each public address system is calibrated and tested as individual components and as a complete system to ensure reliable performance.

A tailored approach to implementing your custom audio visual system
Pan Arabia (PAIS) understands that your custom audio visual solution requires an equally customized project management plan to achieve your goals. This custom plan is created within an established and proven process that accounts for the components and processes that audio visual projects commonly share to ensure that implementation meets time and budget constraints.
A successful project is built on a solid relationship between your team and ours, with a mutual recognition of all functional requirements and budgetary considerations for achieving the goals and objectives for your audio visual solution. We start by clearly identifying the project team on both sides, and ensuring everyone understands their role and responsibilities for critical deliverables.
The Pan Arabia (PAIS) and client teams will then meet to discuss the project’s timeline and critical dates, as well as the template for ongoing status meetings and engineering workshops, as required by the specific A/V solution.
BLENDING PLANNING AND FLEXIBILITY, FROM AUDIO VISUAL EQUIPMENT SELECTION TO FULL INTEGRATION
To make sure your A/V system process stays on track, Pan Arabia (PAIS) creates a scope of work that specifies the following elements of the project:
- Customer workflow
- Audio visual equipment
- Cabling
- Integration
- Schedule
Our proposals are detailed with an accurate assessment of the required elements of your audio visual solution, but one of our unique strengths lies in having the flexibility to manage unanticipated elements that may arise throughout the project. If additional needs are identified at any stage of the project, Pan Arabia (PAIS) works to adapt your project to include the required changes while remaining on budget.
Another key advantage of working with Pan Arabia (PAIS) for your audio visual solution is our capacity to support your team and equipment, during and after your project’s integration. Every division and department at Pan Arabia (PAIS) can support the equipment they implement with our experience, comprehensive manufacturer training, and access to a wide range of audio visual experts.
