What Is A PAVA System?

A PAVA system also known as Public Address Voice Alarm system is installed in commercial buildings to provide the people inside with clear messages and instructions over a voice sound system. A complete PA system can be used in case of emergency to help allow for a safe and controlled evacuation of commercial premises and can also be used day-to-day to make announcements to people within the building.

If an incident was to occur such as a fire or security risk, it is essential that you can convey a clear and concise message quickly to large groups of people without raising panic. If you own a large venue this risk multiplies and it is essential that people act fast in emergencies.

Alarm systems and bells are practical however it has been proven that people react more efficiently to a voice command that is clear and responsive. Therefore, if you need to raise the attention of lots of people within your commercial buildings a PAVA system is the best choice for your organisation.
