Every room hears you. From any phone.
Paging, announcements and background music for offices, warehouses, clinics and shops. Zoned by area, run through the phone system you already use, and installed by the same team that does your cabling and phones.
One system. Pages, music and alerts.
A PA system is more than a speaker in the ceiling. Done properly it is a set of zones, each with the right speakers at the right level, and a simple way for your staff to be heard in any of them.
- 01
Paging and announcements
"Mike, line two." "Delivery at the dock." Pick up a phone, dial the zone, talk. No separate microphone to find.
From any desk phone · by zone or all - 02
Background music
Music in the lobby, the shop or the waiting room, at a level you set once. It drops out for a page and comes back when the page ends.
Lobby · retail · waiting rooms - 03
Zones
The warehouse does not need to hear the front desk, and the meeting rooms do not need music. Each area gets its own zone, its own level and its own rules.
Per floor · per room · outdoors - 04
All-call and emergency pages
One code reaches every zone at once, over the music and over whatever else is playing, for the announcements that cannot wait.
Every zone · priority over music - 05
Loud spaces and outdoors
Horn speakers for the yard, the dock and the shop floor, built for noise and weather, so a page carries over forklifts and traffic.
Horns · weatherproof · high ceilings - 06
Door chimes and intercom tie-in
A chime on the shop floor when the front door opens. A visitor at the door station announced where staff can hear it.
Door chime · intercom · reception
Page from the phone already on your desk.
If we install your Yeastar phone system, paging is part of it. Dial a code and the phones in the group answer on speaker, so a page reaches the whole office without anyone picking up. Add overhead speakers for the warehouse, the yard and the shop floor, and the same code reaches them too.
- One code per zone · and one for everywhere at once
- Phones answer on speaker · one way for announcements, or two way so people can reply
- Overhead speakers on the same system · no second box, no second vendor
- Door phones ring through it too · see intercom
Pick up any phone
Desk phone at reception, the one in the shop, any of them.
Dial the zone
A short code for the warehouse, the office, or every zone at once.
Talk
Phones answer on speaker and the overhead speakers carry it. Hang up, music returns.
Paging to phone groups is a built-in Yeastar feature. Overhead speakers, zones and music are the hardware we add and tune for your building.
Set up for the way your building works.
The same parts, arranged differently. Here is what we would typically put in for four kinds of site.
Office
Lobby · open plan · meeting rooms
- Pages to the desk phones, no ceiling speakers needed in the open plan
- Quiet music in the lobby
- Meeting rooms left out of music, in for emergencies
Warehouse and shop
High ceilings · forklifts · loading dock
- Horn speakers aimed down the aisles
- Weatherproof horns at the dock and the yard
- Pages from the office phones, with a chime so people look up
Clinic and care
Waiting room · treatment rooms · staff areas
- Soft music in the waiting room so conversations stay private
- Staff pages kept to staff areas
- Ties into nurse call and the phones
Retail and restaurant
Sales floor · back of house · patio
- Music on the floor, pages to the back
- Closing announcements to every zone from the till phone
- Outdoor speakers for the patio, on their own volume
Set once. Heard everywhere.
A PA that is too loud in one corner and inaudible in the next gets switched off within a month. So we lay the speakers out on your floor plan, set each zone's level with people in the room, and leave every amp labelled.
- Speakers placed from the floor plan · even coverage, not one loud speaker per room
- Levels set zone by zone · with the building in use, then left marked
- Tested from every phone · each zone, all-call and the music drop-out
- Amps and cabling in the rack · labelled, on the UPS, documented for whoever comes next
New building or old speakers, we can work with it.
Already have speakers?
Many buildings have working speakers and a tired amplifier, or a PA nobody can page from any more. Often we can keep what is in the ceiling, replace what is in the rack, and connect it to your phones. We will tell you on the site visit what stays and what goes.
Building or renovating?
Bring us in at the drawings. Speaker cable goes in with the data drops while the walls are open, the amps go in the same rack as your network, and the whole low-voltage scope is one crew and one schedule. See cabling and fibre.
The rest of the building, from the same team.
Sound is one piece. We install the phones it pages from, the doors it chimes for and the cable it runs on, so there is one number to call. Fitting out a boardroom? See Teams Rooms and conference rooms.
Speakers you don't notice. Pages you do.
Ceiling speakers that sit flush, horns aimed where the noise is, and the amps in the rack with everything else.
Tell us about the building. We'll come and listen.
We'll walk the site, count the zones, and quote speakers, amps, cabling and the paging setup on your phones as one job. One partner, from the floor plan to the first page.
