7. Technical notes for the PA setup
• It is advisable that your amplifier have lower
wattage than your horn’s driver
• Integrated amplifier cannot be used for public
address setup
• Paired wire – thicker is better; also find ways
to hide it from the sun, rain and rats
• If you intend to mix music, plugs and talk,
better to have a mixer or more DVD players
• Provide an extension cord for the PA setup
8. Technical notes for the PA setup
• If you want your radio to reach more
people/homes, set up more horns. You will
also need more wires for each additional horn.
