    simple to do 100volt line system speakers-amp -source

    count up how many ceiling or wall speakers you need total up the wattage of same match up a suitable ampflier and plug in a paging mic

    in actual fact they already have a mic in place but want to add another one to a checkout on the other side!can you loop off the existing mic point?

    i use to use an 8x8M grid for a well know irish supermarket chain when design/pricing, as above wired with flex, www.cpc.co.uk will also work, size your amp based on the total watts used + 20%

    i agree with

    dont know about peats though, not that I had a bad experience, we've just used all the three mentioned above before and not them.

    One speaker shoud cost you less than €20 each for internal white recessed units. i think a 400W amp is around 700 or less would have to double check that though, this is rough BTW you will get cheaper units online and from cpc, but the irish supplier metioned there are good guys to deal with.

    sorry lads still unsure as to weather i can add an additional mic to the system just by looping off the existing one?

    done a little some thing like this on a smaller scale, wat i used was a 6 channel amp for peats whole sale, the first 2 channels had a VOX function, i had a mic in each channel, allowing channel 2 to cut accross the music playing on channel 3, and channel one could cut accross both. hope this helps
