Thank you for visiting this portable PA system blog. :)

In this particular post, I'll be focusing on the speaker of the portable PA system. I'll be talking a little bit about how it looks, its size, and especially what it sounds like.

So again I had the chance to give this portable PA system a whirl one afternoon. I had the entire unit, so after a brief read of the manual, I connected the various parts of the device and give it a try. One of the things I liked about this particular device was the fact that it really is rather compact. The speaker takes up the entire front portion of the device, so it actually looks not too small but not too large. While the speaker looks to be somewhat compact, when you pick up the device it does feel substantial. Not that the device is particularly heavy, but there is some heft to it which is reassuring.

One of the things I did with the device was put it toward the front of the house, while I proceeded to take a wireless microphone with me all the way to the rear of the house. Having done that I proceeded to speak into the microphone, not quite in a conversational manner, but not yelling either. I was speaking firmly into the microphone, and trying to listen for how my voice sounded in the distance.

I liked the fact that as I spoke into the wireless microphone, I could hear my voice being broadcast in the distance in a very loud manner. It really was quite loud. Am rather certain that a fairly decent portion of our neighborhood was able to hear me speak, and the sound quality was such that they would have been able to understand what I was saying rather easily. I had set the volume of the speaker to its maximum. And yet having done that, the speaker held up rather well. There was no unexpected noise. There was no crackling. There was no loss of intelligibility. The sound was very clear.

That impressed me because I had worried that at the maximum volume the speaker might have trouble. And yet there was none. So from that trial run I really did get the impression that the speaker on this portable PA system really is of high quality.

So that's my short discussion of the portable PA speaker I was able to try out one afternoon. Again, the system held up admirably even when I set the volume to the maximum level. I can really see how many different kinds of organizations and entities would benefit from such a device. Am actually surprised that that was the first time I came across this type of gadget.

portable powered pa system

Thank you for visiting this portable PA system blog. :)

Now, the title of this post is, portable powered PA system, as here I'll be talking a little bit more about how exactly the PA system I handled gets its power. First of all, the simplest way to power this PA system is to plug it into a power outlet. That's pretty straightforward. You just take the power cord, plug one end into the back of the PA system, and plug the other end into an outlet. Once you do so, an indicator light will show that the internal battery of the PA system is being charged. Once you turn on the PA system however, the charging will stop and the power will be directed to running the unit.

Also, the three wireless microphone options all derive their power from small batteries which appear to be nine volt or similar batteries. These are rechargeable batteries, so when they're not being used you can put one of them in a slot at the back of the main unit, so that the small battery will charge. There's only one slot, and there are two batteries, so you'll just probably end up alternating charging times.

Now this is the basic setup up of the PA system, but since the unit is portable, the internal battery plays a significant role. The manual indicates that it is best to charge the internal battery for around eight hours. This eight-hour charge will net you around six hours of unit operation. This six hours of unplugged operation can be quite significant when the unit is being used somewhere away from a convenient power source.

For example, if the unit were to be brought along by teachers and students on a camping trip, then ideally they would charge the unit for eight hours at least before they leave. Having done so, they should be able to run the unit for a period of six hours. I'm thinking that, if the unit isn't used continuously for those six hours, then maybe they might be able to squeeze a little bit more time out of it.

It should also be noted that this portable powered PA system actually has the potential to be charged from the cigarette lighter of a vehicle. True, the particular accessory which would be used to connect the PA system to the cigarette lighter socket doesn't come standard with the device, but such an accessory should be readily available from most electronic shops. The manual itself makes mention of such an accessory, so it does appear that this type of connection is possible.

So again, the PA system can get its power from any power outlet, from its internal battery, and potentially from the cigarette lighter socket of a vehicle. The wireless microphones get their power from small batteries which can be charged by slotting them into the back of the main unit.

The net result here is that you have a device which can provide for significant amplification, not just in a setting where a power outlet is readily available, but also in settings where you might find yourself far from a convenient power source. So when it's described as a portable PA system, it really does look like it's designed to go places, and not just remain located in a particular office or a particular building.

So that's my short discussion of this portable powered PA system. Again, thank you for visiting this blog. :)

Thank you for visiting this portable PA system blog. :)

In this article, I'll be talking about why it can be so important to get yourself a small portable PA system. Let me explain. There are quite a lot of portable PA system options out there, but when they describe themselves as portable, we're looking at some very different products sometimes. A PA system can be portable when a single individual can lug at around. It can also be considered portable when you can put it in the back of a pickup, and drive it to a particular destination. Of course, one type of device is more portable than the other, and for me, a device which even a single individual can bring around has huge advantages.

By small portable PA system, I'm thinking something ideally around the size of a backpack, maybe a large backpack. The portable PA system I got to test was actually around that size. It wouldn't fit into my backpack, I'm sure, but wasn't very far from that size. It was rather compact, maybe just a bit wide, and somewhat heavier than it's looks suggest, but I feel that even someone young would have been able to carry it around.

I feel that small portable PA systems have a huge advantage, as sometimes you might want to make use of a public address system somewhere, where you won't be able to drive a vehicle. As an example, I'm thinking about a school which sets up some form of camping trip, where the campsite is somewhere away from the main road, so that the teachers and students actually have to hike to get there. In that case, the idea of driving out to the venue isn't an option. And yet, a campsite is precisely one of those places where a public address system could do a lot of good

It would allow teachers to gather students together that much more quickly. It would help to maintain order and communicate information faster. And in the event one of the kids goes missing, it would help searchers call out to the missing student over longer distances.

And yet a hike to a campsite can be a curious thing. When you're carrying a device, maybe the first few minutes won't be such a big deal, and the device won't feel all that heavy. But after you've been hiking for a while, something that isn't really all that portable will start to feel like quite a load. So if you're carrying a small portable PA system, then the hike to the campsite will be a lot more convenient.

Also, I find that even small portable PA systems are able to come to amplify quite a significant amount. So even if the device is smaller, I don't get the impression that you're losing a lot of functionality.

So I'll stop there for now. Again, thank you for visiting this portable PA system blog. :)

Thank you for visiting this public address system blog. :)

Let me talk a little bit more about my experience handing a Philippine PA system. Again, to be more specific, this was a portable wireless public address system, which I was able to make use of in the Philippines.

In this article I will focus on my experience getting this Philippine PA system up and running, so that basically means I'll be discussing the setup. Let me begin.

When I first saw this Philippine PA system, it was in a box. Not that the device was brand-new or anything, because it appeared that this was more of a demonstration unit. But the box itself looked alright. So I opened the box, remove the pieces of styrofoam, and took the various pieces out of the plastic bags in which they were wrapped.

Of course, there was the main component of the Philippine PA system, which was basically the main unit where the front of the device was taken up in its entirety by the speaker area, and the rear of the device contained the various buttons, switches, dials, indicator lights, and pretty much everything else.

What I did first was take the power cord and plug it into the main unit. I then ran the other end of the power cord over to the outlet. Now, this Philippine PA system is portable which means that it possesses a rechargeable battery, so that it can run even if it isn't connected to a power outlet. Even so, I thought I would start by first using the device with it plugged into an outlet.

When I plugged in the device, the unit indicated that its battery was charging. That's because the unit switch was set to off. Now, the device comes with three microphones in all. A wireless microphone which looks more like a traditional microphone. A lapel mic, or a microphone which you basically clip around your collar area. And a headset microphone, which is worn basically like the headsets used in call centers. In the case of the lapel mic, and the headset mic, they each have cords which run to a small boxlike device which you can connect to your belt. This is the device which sends a wireless signal which connects the microphone to the base unit.

Now, the traditional looking mic is powered by what appears to be a small rectangular battery, which looks like regular nine volt batteries. Thankfully, the unit comes with a rechargeable battery for that microphone. Another battery is needed for the boxlike device to which the lapel mic or the headset mic can be attached. This battery also looks like a nine volt battery. Again, the unit comes with a second battery for this boxlike device.

Another great thing is that the main unit has a slot which charges those two smaller batteries. So basically, when the main device is plugged into an outlet, and the switch is turned off, you're charging the battery of the main unit, and you can also charge one of the smaller batteries of a wireless microphone.

So basically the Philippine PA system had its main unit plugged into an outlet. I first decided to try out the more traditional looking wireless microphone. So what I did was I unscrewed the bottom of that mic, I plugged in the small battery, and I screwed the microphone closed. I then turned on the main unit, adjusted the wireless microphone volume, switched on the wireless mic, and started talking. Immediately my voice started to get picked up by the main unit speaker, and it was amplified many times its normal volume.

Again, I wandered around the location moving further away from the main unit, but even if I was already far away, and even if there were walls between me and the main unit, the Philippine PA system did not disappoint.

I then decided to try the other two wireless microphone accessories. So I got the boxlike device which I could clip on my belt, I slid it open so I could plug in the battery, and I closed it again. I then clipped that device to my belt. Once done, I took the lapel mic and plugged it into the boxlike device after which, I clipped the lapel mic to my collar. Again, after I turned on the wireless microphone by clicking a switch on the boxlike device, my voice was amplified many times its normal volume. And as I wandered around again, I didn't receive any problem with my wireless connection to the base unit.

So that's a little bit of a discussion regarding my first impressions of this Philippine PA system. I hope you found my discussion of the device a bit interesting, and maybe a bit helpful.

Again, thank you for visiting this Philippine PA system blog. :)

Thank you for visiting this portable PA system blog. :)

So you're interested in a portable wireless PA system? That may be the case for a number of reasons. Perhaps you're affiliated with a school, and you feel that a PA system would be helpful during large gatherings. Perhaps you're connected with a church, and you feel that church activities would be benefited by a portable PA system. Perhaps you work for the local government, and many of your events take place in the context of large crowds, which could be better communicated with if a PA system were regularly available. Perhaps you're connected with a corporation or other organization, which finds itself having to reach out and be heard by large numbers of persons all at the same time.

Whatever your reasons are for looking into portable wireless PA systems, I hope that my posts here will be of some use to you. Let me talk a little bit first about my own experience.

Up until recently, I had very little experience handling PA systems in general. That changed when some people I was acquainted with asked me to take a look at a device that they were considering selling. This device was precisely a portable wireless public address system.

So I took it out of the box. I read through the manual a number of times. I put together the device based on the instructions. I plugged it into a power outlet, and set up the connections for the wireless microphones. Then I gave it to go.

I was impressed. It was fairly easy to set the device up, especially after I had done it the first time. The device itself looked like it was of high-quality, and so were its accessories. The sound quality really impressed me. I did not expect this portable PA system to be so loud. I could crank up the volume as high as I wanted, and I didn't find myself worrying that the speakers wouldn't be able to keep up.

Also, I was very much impressed by the wireless microphones. There were different choices available, such as a wireless mic which looked like the traditional microphone, a lapel mic, as well as a microphone which looked more like the headset that call centers use.

I tried to wander around far from the base unit, while speaking into the microphone. Even after I reached a location far from the base unit, I could still hear my voice being amplified very clearly by the speakers. Even when there were walls between me and the main device, the portable wireless PA system continued to perform admirably.

I was sold. I thought to myself that this device could really find a use in many different settings, some of which I already mentioned at the beginning. And there were many ways to expand the use of this device even more, by adding even more connectors and peripherals. Again, I was impressed.

So I thought that maybe, if I shared some of the details of my impressions and experiences with the device, and perhaps compared it with other similar devices out there, then maybe other people who might be looking for a public address system for their church, school, local government unit, corporation, or other organization might benefit from my first-hand experience.

So that's what this blog is all about. Again, thank you for visiting this portable PA system blog. :)
