We can provide a sound system for any of the following locations;

Microphones

Newtech supplies and installs ceiling microphones, suspended microphones, desk top microphones, fixed microphones & wireless microphones

Choosing the right microphone is a vital part of a correctly specified audio pa system. Several factors need to be taken into consideration before a choice is made. These include the location of the speakers, the aesthetics/acoustics of the room, background noise and many other important factors including cost. If you require advice or have any questions about choosing appropriate microphones for a sound system please contact our sales team.

Speakers

We have extensive experience in sourcing speakers which match the aesthetics  of a room and can recommend suitable speakers based on 25 years of experience.

Loudspeaker types:

Loudspeakers can generally be divided into 3 types.

Subwoofers

Subwoofers are speakers designed to produce only low frequency sounds and are used in specialist audio installations in night clubs, live music venues and situations where it is important to give significant boost to bass frequencies.

Tweeters

Tweeters produce only high frequency sounds and are only used in specialists installations.

Full Range Speakers

Full range loudspeakers can produce low frequency sounds (down to a specified point), high frequency sounds (up to a specified point) and everything in between, giving a full range of sound. They are the most popular choice for most commercial applications and can give excellent results without the need for additional subwoofers or tweeters.

Speakers can be mounted in pretty much any position, be it wall mounted ceiling mounted, ceiling hung or built into bespoke structures. Whatever your requirements, Newtech can provide appropriate speakers and can discuss and implement the appropriate audio installation.

Amplifiers

Newtech can provide a range of amplifiers to suit all projects. From small 60 watt amplifiers that are ideal for producing background music in a shop or foyer area, to larger amps for churches and conference venues. We have selected our range of amplifiers due to their reliability and ease of use for commercial installations.

Combined Sound and Induction Loop Amplifier

We manufacture our own combined Sound and Induction Loop amplifier (SERIES 200), which is constructed to the specifications of each individual job and used in larger installations, such as churches and large conference rooms. The amplifier can support up to 5 inputs and can produce 100Watts with either 8ohms or 100V speaker outputs. The Series 200 can be manufactured to provide both a sound system and a Induction Loop System combined in one amplifier.

The Series 200 features;

Soundfield Systems are becoming increasingly popular within schools and teaching centres. By boosting the volume of the teacher’s voice throughout the classroom, pupils with hearing difficulties are able to hear clearly and engage more actively in the lesson. The systems can be tailor made to your individual requirements depending on the size of the room, the amount of pupils in the room and the structure of the lessons. Systems are basically in three parts – wireless microphone, amplifier and speakers. Existing music systems/televisions or other sound equipment can also be connected, allowing these sources to also be heard clearly throughout the classroom. For more information about a classroom sound system or any other equipment we provide for schools, please speak to a member of our sales team.

Speech Transfer Systems

Newtech has installed speech transfer systems in Council offices, government organisations and private businesses. These systems help both staff and customers when interacting in locations with excess background noise or security issues which require devision between both parties. Newtech can provide a range of solutions depending on your needs and budget. An additional benefit of this systems includes the option to link into a induction loop system which helps hearing aid users to hear staff clearly.

Audio Installation / Site Surveys

Before any work is carried out Newtech will usually make a site survey of the proposed room in order to ascertain the exact requirements of the audio pa system. During this survey factors such as room size, acoustics, function and layout will be assessed. The options available to the customer will be fully explained and together we can agree on suitable equipment which will  produce the best results.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND FAQ

My sound system isn’t working?

 Key factors to check:

If you have checked these factors and your system is still not working please contact our office and we will put you in contact with a member of our technical department who can assist you.

What is Feedback?

Feedback is the name given to the ringing sound produced when a microphone picks up sound from a loudspeaker (of the same sound system) and feeds this signal back into the amplifier which then outputs the ringing sound to the loudspeakers. It is generally caused by either the volume of the system being tuned up too high or by the microphone being positioned too close to the loudspeaker. Correct set-up of sound systems reduces the likelihood of feedback occurring during a systems use.

Frequency response is a measure of how effective a unit (amplifier, speaker) is at matching the quality of the signal it receives to the quality of the signal it produces at its output. In product specifications it can be displayed as a graph showing low, middle and high frequencies and how the unit performs throughout the whole audio frequency spectrum.

What is Frequency Range

Frequency Range is the range from low to high frequencies which the unit can produce e.g 35Hz to 16kHz. The wider the frequency range on the equipment the better it will be at producing all audio frequencies.

What is Cable Interference

Cable interference occurs when cables from sound av systems carrying high level signals (such as mains or speaker feeds) are run next to low level input cables (such as microphone cables). The high level cabling will create a interference which will be picked up by the microphone cables and subsequently be fed into the amplifier, resulting in buzz or hum coming out the speakers. This is a important factor when designing audio pa systems, as excessive cable interference can render a system useless.

What Does ‘Line Level’ mean

Line level refers to the signal level from various sound systems. A line level signal is greater than that of a headphone output but less than  the signal level of amplifier speaker outputs and is used when connecting various audio devices such as DVD  & CD players and amplifiers.
