It is an integral part of development. Societies cannot change and develop without communication, as it is a process of social interaction through which people are influenced by ideas, attitudes, knowledge and behavior of all(prenominal) other. Nowadays, communication has attained a great importance in the developmental programs. It is through the process of communication that people are made aware of the nature and objectives of the programs.The efficacious developmental messages are conveyed to the tar micturate groups through various co mmunication approaches. This helps people in acquiring new knowledge required for coping with profligate changing society and in adoption of innovations for the improvement of their practices, methods and quality of life. Through the advancement of technology, electronics paved way for the development of communication systems. One of the innovations brought about these technologies is the Public Addressing System.A Public Addressing System or simply PA System is an electronic practiced amplification and distri unlession system. It is anything that amplifies pass so more people can hear it. Most basic systems these days include several different parts such as one or more mikes, one or more speakers, a mixer that allows the usager to chequer the volume, tone and balance of different vocalisations or instruments, an amplifier (built into the mixer, built into the speakers, or purchased separately) and stands to hold the speakers and microphones at appropriate superlative degree and angles.From this documentation, the researchers were able to explore and delve deeper about the concepts on how a PA System work and how does it kick in to development in the field of communication systems. Background of the Study A Public Address (PA) system is a collection of auditory sensation equipment that allows break ups over a designated area. Often found in schools and office buildings, PA systems can be utilise for general announcements or mite information, providing a simple way to get information out quickly. PA systems can be basic or advanced, and people can customize them to fit a variety of needs.There are even personal models that can be less expensive, but allow for a much shorter range. The term is also used for systems which may additionally have a mixing console, amplifiers, and speakers qualified for music as well as speech, used to repay a sound source, e. g. , recorded music or a person giving a speech, and distributing the sound throughout a ve nue or building. Sound reinforcement systems and PA systems may use some similar genes, but with differing application, although the distinction between the two is not clear-cut.Sound reinforcement systems are for live music or performance, whereas PA systems are primarily for reproduction of speech. The presence of the light weight components included in the term of enlistment makes it easier to carry, and therefore, fashioning it handy. Recently from the previous projects, we have used several components to amplify signals. Some of which are the bipolar conjunctive electronic transistor, field-effect transistor and metal-oxide semiconducting material transistor, now we will use one of the best amplifying device, the IC OP-AMP. 41 OP-AMP is a versatile IC that can be used as a differential amplifier. From this, the researchers must be able to conceptualize and build effective Portable Public Addressing System using operational amplifiers and other electronic components as the center of the study. Statement of the Problem What is the train of a Public Addressing System? The purpose of a takeout PA system is to provide an accessible way of addressing in a crowd. This is very useful when communications are to be made in a limited broadcasting range. Objective of the StudyTo be able to conceptualize and build an effective public addressing system using IC-Operational Amplifiers and other electronic components and understand and appreciate its principles of operation as well as its primary function and applications. Scope and Limitations composition a simple and portable PA system is ofttimes fairly expensive, it can provide a speaker with some options for addressing a crowd of people. This type of public announcement hardware provides someone with exceedingly limited broadcasting range, often including only a single speaker, but still serves to amplify the users voice.All PA systems are also delimited since they have a potential for audio feed bottom, wh ich occurs when sound from the speakers returns to the microphone and is then re-amplified and sent through the speakers again. Another thing is, more advanced versions increase in price considerably, specially with numerous cords, wireless hubs, and adaptors that may be required. This all depends, however, on what a person or problem needs in terms of PA system hardware and installation. Significance of the StudyThe project is intended to improve and upgrade the knowledge of the proponents about the different uses of IC Operational Amplifiers by constructing a simple portable Public Addressing System. This study will be a significant endeavor in promoting the construction of useful devices with the advancements of electronics. It will also be beneficial to the students and instructors in some applications employing conduction of gatherings, meetings, seminars and workshops for effective learning in their classroom setting particularly in different concepts related to electronics .By understanding the needs of the students and benefits of quality education, these instructors and students are assured of a competitive advantage. Moreover, this project will provide recommendations on how to evaluate the performance of the researchers confused in accordance to the outcome of the study. Conceptual Framework A Public Address System is an electronic sound amplification and distribution system with an audio input, amplifier and an audio output. The Portable Public-Addressing System (PA systems) is capable of amplifying different input signals like microphone, audio, and guitar signals simultaneously.Microphones The transmission can begin with a microphone, which is a device that can assist in magnifying an audio sources volume. A microphone is classified as a device that transforms sound into an galvanizing signal. Microphones used in PA systems are usually dynamic or condensers. Dynamic microphones are more rugged than condensers and are able to withstand the ele ments a little better. Condenser microphones utilize their own violence source and set out better-quality audio signals, but can sometimes be so sensitive that they also receive background noises.Mixers If a microphone or another audio source is used in a PA system, it is plugged into a mixer. The mixer allows for multiple channels of sound to be broadcast at different take aims. This can help prevent feedback if a PA system will involve multiple microphones, instruments, or other audio sources. For example, someone may use a PA system to sing along with a pre-recorded CD. The CD track could be plugged into one channel, while the singers voice would be broadcast through another. Amplifier The amplifier is usually side by side or incorporated with the mixer.The amplifiers melodic phrase is to magnify the audio signal by manipulating its varying frequency qualities. Gain in an amplifier refers to the decibel level of the sound coming out of the speakers. Another quality, Output Dy namic Range, refers to the loud and soft levels of a proper(postnominal) channels sound. Too low of an output could result in just broadcasting noise too mellowed of an output can lead to distortion. Loudspeakers The loudspeaker is the output end of the PA system, transforming the galvanic signal back into sound that a group can hear.A good loudspeaker system will separate the differing sound frequencies and broadcast them through different sound channels for better quality output. Parts of a loudspeaker system include a woofer, which broadcasts low frequency sounds and tweeters, the drivers of high frequency output. Some speakers also correspond crossover systems that are responsible for separating these frequencies, reducing the electrical noise that can sometimes accompany a PA system broadcast. Discussions The design of the system internally contains three major stages. These stages are connected to individually other to attain the circuit of a Portable Public Address Syste m.The first stage is the queen supply of the circuit has a center-tapped transformer with the primary set to 220Vac and secondary of 12-0-12Vac. This transformer is connected to diodes and capacitor which is responsible for filtering and to produce a full-wave output. This output will become a DC voltage which will serve as +VCC for the next stage. The second stage is for the Pre-amplifiers. There are three Pre-amplifiers which contain two inputs for the microphone and one for the guitar. The Pre-amplifiers in the project use an IC which is generally considered as one the most versatile component there is.The purpose of the IC is to amplify the input sound signals to produce a sound suitable for speakers. Normally in the pre-amp, the output of the sound is not quite satisfying. An increase in the volume of the sound will be attained when it is connected into another stage which is the Power-Amplifier stage. This is the last stage of the circuit. The Power-Amplifier is one that driv es the input sound coming from the pre-amplifier to produce an output through speakers. The Power-Amplifier uses an IC also. The loudness of the sound is produced by the Power-Amplifier.

The PA system contains a mixing console where the amplifiers and loudspeakers are suitable for music and as well as speech used to reinforce a sound source and distributing the sound throughout a venue or building. It is often used in small areas such as school auditoriums, churches, small bars or other places. The logical implication of being portable is by means of you can carry it anywhere because it is lighter and useful for emergency or immediate announcements.It also contains two systems combine in one module. The two systems may use some similar components but with different application. It has a sound reinforcement system which is the guitar input use for music performance and a PA system which is the microphone input use for speech purposes.

Connection Diagram Recommendations All PA systems have a potential for audio feedback, which occurs when sound from the speakers returns to the microphone and is then re-amplified and sent through the speakers again. Sound engineers take several steps to maximize gain before feedback. If you are setting up a sound system and want to avoid feedback, there are a few general measures that can help avoid such problem * Keep a certain distance between the position of the microphone and the speakers. * Use a unidirectional microphone. If you have access to an equalizer, dampen the frequencies where feedback is occurring. * Ensure that both microphone and speakers are in good performance state. * Never place a mobile phone near the speakers or even at the microphone. Since the Power-Amplifier is responsible for the driving of the input sound (coming from the pre-amplifier), it is necessary to have an efficient circuit of a power amplifier with a sufficient wattage needed to obtain a desired output. The greater the wattage value of a power amplifier circuit, the better the output sound.
