subject: Understanding Portable Pa Systems And The Features You Need [print this page] Portable PA systems are a communication must for any large venue or heavily populated event. Whether it is a sports function, concert, or simply a means of communication around the school or office, these systems allow your message to carry for optimum transfer of information. While many of the more expensive systems can cost from $1,000-$5,000, there is a temptation to avoid these and find older and cheaper models. But one must be careful in doing so. Technology is an ever changing thing. As advancements are made, so, too, is efficiency. You must realize that by purchasing an outdated portable PA, you will not be able to keep up with the changing trends. If coordinating with an iPod or MP3 player is of interest to you, or if you would like a completely wireless arrangement, you have to be careful in selecting an older model. Portable PA systems do not have to break the bank, however, to give you the features you are looking for. Newer and cheaper models are out on the market that can grant you all the amenities you're looking for (and some that you aren't). The features you will get the most out of are as follows: Rechargeable batteries: The battery life is of the utmost importance, especially for sporting events and concerts. With these functions, you really need something that will hold up to frequent and sustained use, such as giving play by play or updating fans on scores. Busy airports, where flights are always leaving and arriving, also must depend on their equipment to be there through the rigors of the day. Docking stations: In the old days of cheerleader dance routines and high school plays, any accompanying music had to be handled via clunky boombox with CD player attached. You had to stick the equipment next to the main speaker and hope feedback didn't cut in to split everyone's eardrums. Portable PA systems today, even the cheaper models, give users a more streamlined and pleasant approach. By making use of iPod or MP3 player docking stations, you can stream music through the equipment safely and effectively without all the extra cords and product. Dependable wireless system: The more cords that your system possesses the greater the chances of fires or injuries. By eliminating the cord factor and choosing remote signal, you don't have to worry about miles and miles of cable polluting your building's structure. Just nice clean airwaves to get the signals where they need to go. While it may be true in the world of mass communication, that something is better than nothing, it's important that you ask yourself before making a purchase whether or not it's time to move forward or backward. Portable PA systems help you move ahead by strengthening the bonds of communication where it needs to happen the most.
