What is PowerAudioServer ?

PowerAudioServer (PAS) is an audio playout and record system that can be used in the smallest of applications to a large scale systems for airports, multi channel radio stations, inflight entertainment and any multizone public address systems.

The power of PAS is in its ability to use three different Playlists to produce the end product. The Playlists are typically Music, Commercials or scheduled announcements (SpotSets) and paging announcements. The result is a well-presented Public Address System audio presentation.

Except for emergency announcements, all other paging calls are recorded and automatically sorted in order of priority or urgency then played out to the selected zones.

This means there are never any conflicts between the BackGround Music, Commercial Spots or paging announcements.
