1. Self-Amplified Paging Speakers, Horns and Power Supplies
Here, you will find a wide variety of Self-Amplified speakers and horns along with a complete lineup up power supplies.  We have some very good looking speakers that resemble air vents for suspended ceilings. These can be installed in minutes rather than hours (more info ... ) 


2. P.A. Amplified Paging Speakers & Horns and Replacement P.A. Amplifiers
  
If you already have a paging system that uses one or more central Public Address Amplifiers you should be looking in this section.  We have replacement speakers and horns that are not self-amplified and we have replacement amplifiers just in case (more info ... ) 


3. IP Paging 
Like most IP related devices, IP Paging provides opportunities that were never before possible.  For instance ... if you have a PBX in your New York office and a few IP phones in your Los Angeles warehouse, you can now page external speakers and horns. (more info ... ) 


4. Music-On-Hold, Queuing Messages & Background Music Devices 
Whether you call it Music-On-Hold, Advertising-On-Hold or Promo-On-Hold, don't forget to check it out.  You can choose to use Holding Time to your benefit or let the person holding become irritated - it's up to you.  John Meek, III of the Meek Team in Clearwater, Florida tells the story of when (during a very busy day), a caller needed to placed on hold only to learn that they had his just listed the home of his dreams (more info ... ) 


5. Noisy Stuff like Lunch Whistles, Sirens, Strobe Lights and Loud Ringers 
Have you ever heard someone say "I didn't hear the phone ring" because it was too noisy?  Have you ever wondered how you can allow 3rd shift employees to receive emergency calls over the noise of a printing press? Would you like to automate the beginning and end of breaks and lunch periods for your employees?  We have some clever add-on devices that can provide a safer work environment and at the same time (more info ... ) 


6. Paging Accessories, Adapters, Pre-Amplifiers and Gizmos
Sometimes one or two paging zones is not enough or sometimes a "talk-back" feature would be great for that one area in the warehouse.  How about adding background music over the external paging system? We have some unusual specialty items that can enhance the basic paging options available on most PBX systems. We call them "work-arounds" and they are  (more info ... ) 


7. Alerting Pagers for Restaurants, Bowling Alleys and other Retail Locations  
No one minds a 10-15 minute wait if they can have a little "notifier" to take outside with them.  Restaurant notifiers don't have to be expensive.  We have a solution for small to medium size restaurant notification needs.  If you (more info ... ) 


8. Special Needs Devices
The American's with Disabilities Act opened doors that were thought to be permanently closed for many people.  Hearing and Visually Impaired individuals have a whole set of special needs when it comes to communicating by phone.  For others, maybe just having larger buttons on your phone would help you stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues.  We have assembled several devices that can make your life easier and we would (more info ... )

Self-Amplified" vs. "P.A. Amplified" - What should I be using?

There are 2 primary paging technologies used throughout the world:
  • Self-Amplified Paging Technology - Today, the most commonly used paging technology is the use of Self-Amplified Speakers and Horns.  This represents nearly 100% of all new installations because it is inexpensive, easy to deploy and easy to troubleshoot.  It uses a simple 2-pair connection from the PBX to each speaker. One pair is for the speech and the other pair is for the power.  Each speaker or horn has a small built-in amplifier - just for that speaker.  If the amplifier should fail for some reason, the others keep working.  Best of all, you can daisy-chain the cabling - in other words, drop and insert as needed.
     
  • P.A. Amplified Paging Technology - Although theses technologies still exists, they are usually seen in older installations.  They involved using one or more P.A. (Public Address) Amplifiers and standard or transformed speakers and horns.  The P.A. Amplifiers usually had 4, 8 and 16 ohm outputs for "Impedance Balanced" speakers and 25/70 Volt outputs for "Constant Voltage" speakers with transformers attached.  Impedance Balanced systems were the worst.  The idea was that no matter how many 8 Ohm speakers you used, the combined load could not be more than 4 ohms or not less than 16 ohms when presented at the amplifier.  This often involved elaborate "series-parallel" wiring schemes.  Normally, this technology would not be used in new installations except for applications such as airports or sports arenas.  However, if you have an existing paging system that uses this technology, we have replacement speakers, horns and amplifiers to replace failed components. Constant Voltage technology was an improvement over Impedance Balancing because it eliminated the need for elaborate wiring.  Each speaker or horn was daisy-chained.  Each speaker or horn had a transformer attached to it and a technician would normally select one of several lugs to attach the wire to, depending on how loud the speaker needed to be.  The selections were measured in watts and used solder type lugs.  Many techs didn't understand the relationship between watts (power) and sound levels (decibels).  Then, there was the likelihood of them owning a soldering guns, having a spool of solder and then wanting to drag a 100 foot extension cord up a ladder to solder to connection.
