Public Address System Design

Public address (PA) systems, also referred to as paging systems, must deliver clear, intelligible announcements throughout noisy and architecturally complex spaces such as airport terminals and convention centers. High speech intelligibility is essential in these environments and can be critical to the safety of occupants and visitors and requires an expert designer like AVANT ACOUSTICS with:

  • A deep understanding of acoustics and sound system design allows us to plan for and achieve proper coverage, clarity, and speech intelligibility.
  • Expertise in applicable safety codes, evolving industry trends, and current technology.
  • Comprehensive bid documents closely coordinated with other disciplines.
  • Careful construction administration to provide support during bidding, procurement, and installation phases.

AVANT ACOUSTICS’ understanding of both the art and science of sound enables us to design public address systems that are effective, reliable, and flexible for future expansion. We designed our first airport public address system more than 60 years ago, and that airport remains a client today.
