The JENSEN PA500 is a universal public address (PA) system designed for mobile applications. It can function as a standalone PA system when connected directly to speakers, or it can integrate with an existing vehicle's radio and speaker setup. This flexibility makes it suitable for various installations where public address capabilities are required.
The core function of the PA500 is to amplify voice for public address. When integrated with a vehicle's audio system, the PA500 connects in-line between the radio and the installed speakers. Under normal operation, the vehicle's radio functions as usual. However, when the "Push to Talk" (PTT) switch on the connected microphone is activated, the speakers are electrically disconnected from the radio and engaged with the PA system. This action mutes or overrides the radio source, allowing the microphone input to be broadcast through the vehicle's speakers.
The PA500 features a dedicated volume/gain control, allowing the user or installer to set the PA volume independently of the radio's volume. This is particularly useful for installations where the PA500 unit might be mounted in an enclosure, enabling the installer to pre-set the volume level for optimal performance.
In summary, the JENSEN PA500 is a robust and versatile public address system designed for mobile environments, offering flexible installation options, clear audio amplification, and user-friendly controls, all while emphasizing safety and ease of troubleshooting.
