Need advice regarding public address systems ? Acoustics Plus offers a consultancy service about public address systems and all related noise matters. Our experience of public address systems gives system contractors the confidence they require to meet the standards.

In situations where egress is complex or difficult, such as in high-rise buildings or football stadiums, human voice is often used to provide the occupants with information through a public address system.

Our public address system experience gives sound system contractors and fire alarm contractors the confidence that their public address system will meet the minimum requirements as set out in BS 5839 and BS EN 60849. The requirements in regard of audibility and intelligibility of a public address system can be stringent in complex acoustic conditions and it is critical that the public address system is designed and specified properly.

When appointed, Acoustics Plus will examine the public address system specification requirements. This may include requirements for minimum sound pressure levels and post installation speech intelligibility testing eg. STI or RASTI testing. Acoustics Plus will undertake a detailed evaluation of the space in which the public address system will serve. This is often the determining factor in compliance with any performance specification and/or the relevant standards.

In the event that the public address system has already been installed, Acoustics Plus is able to undertake a number of commissioning exercises to properly determine the electro-acoustic performance of the public address system. This would be likely to include measurements of speech intelligibility and audibility testing.

Where a public address system is to be designed for a building which is still at design stage, Acoustics Plus can carry out extensive acoustic room modelling with proprietary software packages to ensure that the public address system design will meet the specification requirements. If the public address system cannot meet the requirements due to architectural or acoustic constraints, scientific evidence of such can be provided.

If you require further information about public address system specifications then please click on the PA/VA section of this website. Here you will find more information about public address systems and their importance. If you require a no obligation fee quotation for public address system design or testing, please do not hesitate to contact us, either by email (info@acousticsplus.co.uk) or phone.
