What audio solutions are for ?

 Broadcast announcements throughout the school, both inside classrooms and in outdoor common areas.

 Use music instead of a siren for class entrances and exits, creating a more stimulating environment.


 In the event of an emergency or accident, you need the whole school to be alerted within seconds, without causing panic.


 You need to easily project multimedia content from a computer in the classroom.


 Teachers need to be audible from a distance without raising their voice, thus improving communication with students.


 You want to increase student engagement during training sessions, whether in the classroom or in an auditorium.

With RONDSON audio systems, you'll never miss a recreation. Thanks to a zone microphone, amplification can be extended to 300 zones, and control of 10 loudspeaker zones is provided by a priority control unit and attenuators. A power amplifier and message programmer complete the system.

All your devices will operate intelligently, making your system fully distributed. We guarantee intelligible communication at the start of the school year and at any time of the year. For more details, please consult our technical page on PA systems for schools and colleges.

To approach a PA project in an educational environment, it's essential to start by distinguishing the type of architecture in which the system's various elements and equipment are to operate and be installed.

TO REMEMBER

Whether it's a high school, a college or a university, it's important to have a good sound system. Sound systems will enhance learning by making the school environment more engaging. However, it's important to identify your needs beforehand. Because not every part of your facility will be sounded in the same way: classrooms, offices, conference rooms, gymnasiums, canteens, common areas, laboratories, dormitories.

To meet these different needs, our systems can be used to broadcast announcements, play music for class entrances and exits, provide rapid alerts in the event of an emergency, or project multimedia content.

Ensuring clear, effective communication throughout the year, improving communication between teachers and students.
