EDC and PASS (Partner Alliance for Safer Schools) Partnership

Education, February 6, 2023

The need for better safety in schools is more important than ever before in our society. Highly publicized, violent events in our schools have led to reassessments of how we manage security risks in the K-12 environment.  School safety planning and initiatives protect students from all manner of violence, creating safe, secure spaces to make them better able to grow, learn and find success in their academic journeys. For its decades-long efforts in outfitting local schools across the state of Minnesota with the communications systems they need to create and cultivate safe learning environments, Electronic Design Company (EDC) recently partnered.

What Is the Best AV Equipment for Lecture Halls?

A/V Solutions, January 11, 2023

Lecture Halls may not need the most complicated AV equipment in order to function properly, but they do need to be outfitted with the right equipment. With many lecture halls serving an educational purpose in some way, it’s imperative that the technology is easy to use and maintain while having the power to reach the entire room. Both the PA system and digital displays need to enable clear communication throughout the room so that the presenter can focus on making their subject matter as compelling and engaging as possible. The last thing professors and guest lecturers want to deal with.

House of Worship AV (Keeping it Simple)

A/V Solutions, House of Worship, September 29, 2022

It has become a bit of an oxymoron to say “House of Worship AV” and “simple” in the same sentence. Larger churches that have modern worship services have grown accustomed to the complexities of a full band mix and video production to display song lyrics on a display or projection screen. When budget allows, most churches opt to have one or more paid individuals that are tasked to handle the AV for their services. Not all houses of worship can afford this luxury and require help from volunteers within the church to run these systems who may not be thoroughly.

A/V Solutions, September 29, 2022

Modern meeting and conference rooms require technology that can keep up with the ever-expanding list of mobile devices and presentation platforms.

A Comparison of Paging Systems in Corporate Environments Part 2

A/V Solutions, Blog, September 28, 2022

In our last installment we got an overview of what kind of needs a paging system could address in an office environment or a public building. The need for intelligibility and flexibility for convergence with other emergency systems such as fire alarm were covered. Now we will have a look at industrial settings and the similarities and differences we might find in those settings. At a basic level, whether a paging system is in an office or a manufacturing plant, the need is the same. Any announcement made should be intelligible. But if you can imagine a warehouse-sized room with.

A Comparison of Paging Systems in Corporate Environments Part 1

A/V Solutions, Blog, September 28, 2022

Audible mass notification can take on many flavors. Sometimes it’s an emergency like a fire alarm. Sometimes it’s not – such as an announcement for a library closing time. In a corporate environment the needs vary greatly. In fact, just defining a specific “environment” can get more difficult the deeper you look. On the surface we would think about an office with cubicles or individual rooms. But corporate environment could mean a warehouse, an assembly line, or specialized clean rooms in an industrial setting. If someone from the front office needed to make an announcement in any of these, the.

A Comparison of Paging and Intercom Systems in Educational Environments

Education, September 28, 2022

For decades public address systems have been a useful way to get information to students and staff in K12 and higher education facilities. Most of us can remember hearing morning announcements over the PA or hearing the inevitable call to the front office. It is a great way to convey a message to a group of people. Generally, there are two types of categories that public address systems fall under – paging and intercom. On a basic level, the systems are either one-way communication (paging) or two-way (intercom).  In fact, the equipment costs can be about the same depending on.
