What PA and Music System Suits a Shopping Mall?
Quick answer

A mall PA plays background music, makes announcements (lost children, promotions, closing time) and carries emergency evacuation messages. Zones separate corridors, food courts, parking and tenant areas, and the system should override music during emergencies and integrate with the fire alarm where required.
