Schools need  a versatile PA system for concerts, plays and outdoor events

Primary School assemblies need a different kind of PA system to a large Secondary School staging talent shows with wanna-be rock bands so we've put a few packages together for you below to give you a guide. You can custom-build the PA System to your exact requirements very easily however, just give us a ring and we'll help you design the perfect system for your needs. Visit out PA Packages section for a greater selection - small schools might only need a portable PA system, so please have a look at that section too.

We'll need to know roughly how large your hall is and how many pupils are in there at any one time. Also, you'll need to think how many microphones and instruments you will want to plug in at any one time. Do you need microphone stands? Will it be OK to have microphone wires trailing across the stage, or would wireless mikes be the best option for you. Do you want to be able to plug a keyboard into the PA as well? Do you need to play CDs? If you want to be able to take the school PA System outdoors on Sports Day or at the school fete, you can consider the optional covers to help keep the rain off.
