What PA System Does a Hospital or Clinic Need?
Quick answer

Hospitals need announcements that staff hear but patients are not disturbed by. A zoned PA system pages doctors, calls patients in waiting areas, plays calm background music if wanted and sends emergency code messages to every zone at once. Speakers are chosen for speech clarity at low volume and zones keep wards quiet.
