School Audio Visual & PA Systems
From morning assembly announcements to prize-giving days and drama festivals, schools need dependable, easy-to-operate sound and visual systems that survive daily use by staff and students. Tiffy G Supplies fits schools across Kenya with durable, budget-appropriate AV equipment.
Our Recommended Approach
Based on a site assessment, we put together a system design matched to your space, budget and how your team will actually operate the equipment.
- Rugged, wall-mounted PA speakers for assembly halls with a simple, lockable mixer and microphone.
- Portable battery-powered PA systems for sports days, parades and outdoor functions.
- Classroom sound reinforcement systems for teachers with voice projection needs.
- Simple, labelled control panels so duty teachers can operate the system without training.
- Protective cabling and equipment housing to reduce tampering and accidental damage.
Typical Challenges We See
Every sector has its own acoustic, operational and budget realities. Before recommending equipment, our team assesses the specific constraints of your building and how it is used day to day.
- Assembly grounds and halls where announcements get lost in outdoor noise or hard, echo-prone surfaces.
- Equipment operated daily by non-technical staff or students, leading to frequent misuse and damage.
- Tight procurement budgets that must still cover assemblies, sports days, drama and music festivals.
- Classrooms needing simple audio support for language labs, presentations or hearing-impaired learners.
- Outdoor events such as sports days requiring portable, weatherproof sound reinforcement.
Equipment We Supply
We supply and install the following categories of equipment, sourced from reputable manufacturers and matched to the demands of daily operation in this sector.
- Wall and ceiling-mount PA speakers
- Portable battery PA systems
- Wired handheld and lapel microphones
- Compact mixers with locked presets
- Basic stage lighting for drama and music festivals
- Projectors and screens for assembly halls and classrooms
Typical Investment Levels
These indicative ranges are a starting point; your final quotation depends on the size of your space, the specific equipment selected and installation complexity.
| Tier | Typical Scope | Indicative Budget (KES) |
|---|---|---|
| Small primary school | 2-4 speakers, 1 mixer, 1 mic | KES 80,000 – 200,000 |
| Secondary school assembly hall | Wall PA, wireless mic, portable backup unit | KES 250,000 – 600,000 |
| Multi-purpose hall with events | Full PA, stage lighting, screen for functions | KES 700,000 – 1,500,000 |
