Finding appropriate audio equipment that’s easy to use can sometimes be a challenge, especially when it comes to projecting sound in a variety of settings. Between running around from one classroom to an auditorium or even an outdoor field, how can you figure out which sound system can best be utilized in each of those settings? When selecting a PA system that has to meet the diverse needs of a school, dance studio or an athletic department is the portable nature of such a system.

We regularly use it outside, in the fellowship hall and in the church

One second you find yourself giving a lecture in a crowded hall and the next you are presenting to an audience outdoors. So how can you make sure your voice is heard – for each and every speaking engagement? Given tight budgets, the system should be able to be used on its own, coupled up with larger systems, and has to be portable. The wired and wireless, AC or battery-powered PresentationPro™ portable speaker can provide just that. At only 10 pounds with a built-in handle to easily hand carry it from one location to another, it can be used for a variety of uses. “We use our PA319 all over because it’s portable, which is one of the features we like about it. We regularly use it about outside, in the fellowship hall and in the church occasionally. It helps us out a lot because you don’t have to shout and you can talk normal since it projects voices nicely,” shares Bob Resienbichler, a school principal from Milford, OH. The portability of the PresentationPro provides flexibility so it can be applied at sporting events and school-wide assemblies, which is just some of the ways St. Mark’s School in Altadena, CA uses it.

Portable, yet powerful enough for ADs to use it out on the field.

What if you find yourself needing to speak in front audiences in a different place throughout the day? Surely the last thing you want to worry about is whether or not each place is equipped with a PA system. Shares Ted Koutavas from Olympia Fields, IL: “I’m the Technology Director for Rich Township High School District and it was my decision to purchase the PA319. We need truly portable units that’s easy for us to take to different locations. The key features I love about PA319 are the portability, wireless capability, and the quality of the sound.”

It helps us at open houses, at showcases in different schools, in the front lobby of the school for the orchestra and as a backup system for our existing microphone system

There may be moments when there is not much time available between making an announcement or giving a speech and having a speaker so portable and adaptable for different venues can make a world of difference. PresentationPro packages that include the speaker along with accessories such as microphones and mounting equipment are also available so you have everything you need, at any given time, no matter where you need it. Jennifer Hall from Louisville, KY agrees, “We use the PA319PQ system all over the school and it is wonderful! We should’ve bought it years ago! It helps us with all kinds of different activities as we’ve used it at open houses, at showcases in different schools, in the front lobby of the school for the orchestra and as a backup system for our existing microphone system. We also use it with our special needs [ECE] kids in our small gym. I like this particular PA system because it is so portable and easy to setup since we use it about once a week. I can’t say enough great things about it!”

And with the included remote to adjust the volume, life just got even simpler.
