AUDIENCE SIZE & COVERAGE:
The audience size and coverage area will determine the size and power/loudness of the portable PA system you will need whether that is a full-size public address system or personal PA. These answers will also help to determine if multiple speakers are needed and how and where they are placed. Many full-size systems are a single, easy to move unit with the capability to be expandable with wired or wireless companion units. A personal PA system is usually small in size and often wearable.
WIRELESS RANGE & APPLICATIONS:
When choosing an outdoor amplification system, knowing the wireless range, capabilities, and applications you will need for your system is a critical piece of information.
The wireless range of an outdoor audio system will vary from product to product with some signals reaching up to 50 feet and others extending over 100 feet.
How many wireless microphones do you need? Understanding how the wireless will be used will also help determine the appropriate wireless microphone choices.* Anchor Audio’s wireless range is 300 feet line of sight for all portable sound systems and 150 feet line of sight for lecterns.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS:
Understanding how you intend to use the system in terms of devices and connections will determine what inputs and outputs you require. Requirements may include wired microphones, wired companion speakers, and other auxiliary sources such as a mobile device, MP3 player, or mixer. Find a portable PA system that meets or exceeds these needs. The three most common connectors include XLR, 1/4”, and 1/8” (3.5mm AUX).
POWER SOURCE:
A PA system will operate on either AC (alternating current) power, DC (direct current) power, or both. AC units are powered using a wall outlet while DC units utilize a rechargeable battery. A rechargeable self contained public address system is completely portable and can therefore easily be transported around the school. Plus there are no messy cables to connect to a power source.Our portable sound & PA systems can operate on AC or DC. They can run up to 8 hours with the built-in rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries.
PORTABILITY:
This feature comes into play not only with the power source but also in how easily you can move the system around the school. Factors to consider with portability include battery power, weight, carrying case accessories, and built-in features such as wheels or a handle.

- There are two main types of PA systems: a self-contained PA system or a powered mixer with PA speakers.
- A self-contained PA system can also be referred to as a portable PA system. They are not meant to be permanently installed, however, they can be, if preferred. A portable PA will operate on either AC (alternating current) power, DC (direct current) power, or both. AC units are powered using a wall outlet while DC units utilize a rechargeable battery. A truly portable and completely wireless system operates on battery power but can also be plugged into a power source such as a wall outlet.
- A powered mixer system requires a mixing amplifier and separate, sometimes multiple, speakers. It is most often found as a permanently installed system. It is also AC powered and requires a power source in order to operate.
