Ok
So I think we have the External paging horns corrected
Now back to the original problem
There are 50 ceiling speakers in one of the buildings (3) Flloors
Most are tapped at 2.5 or 5 watts I don’t believe they were tapped
This high prior to the Teams phone system & Algo 8103
The problem is the master volume is at 10 and input 1 is at 10
and is not loud enough in certain areas
From when I remember whenever I would install a speaker in the classroom, I would always put it at 1.25 and maybe maybe 2.5 if it was in a cafeteria or a hallway
I believe a lot of these settings got changed, because of the volume problem we initially had
I knew that the amplifier was getting maxed out, or possibly being maxed out. That’s why I introduced the Valcom speakers for the external paging outside.
I know that you should have more speakers at a lower wattage as opposed to one speaker at 5 W
I am going back this coming Friday to go through and see if we can find
Possible wiring issue that could be the reason behind this
I did put a impedance meter on it a while back and it was telling me that there was about 245 watts
Would this makes sense that because there’s too many speakers, and not enough wattage that you would have to turn the volume up to 10
My question is is what happens when you need more wattage
I guess I’m looking for some recommendations on possibly upgrading to a different amplifier with more wattage. I wasn’t sure if TOA made one.
I think Bogan makes one that’s 450 but I think it only has one input
Thanks
