Public Address System for EventsPublic Address System for Events

Choosing the correct PA system

A PA system, or public address system, is a sound amplification system that is used to enhance and project sound to a large group of people. They are used in a variety of settings, including schools, churches, stadiums, conference halls, and music venues.

PA systems have become an integral part of many events and gatherings, providing clear and powerful sound to ensure that everyone in attendance can hear the music being played or the message being conveyed.

One of the key advantages of a PA system is that it allows the speaker or performer to be heard clearly and easily, even in a large or noisy environment. This is particularly important in settings such as concerts or a PA for large events, where the sound needs to be powerful and clear enough to be heard over the crowd noise.

PA systems also allow for a greater degree of flexibility and control over the sound, allowing the speaker or performer to adjust the volume, tone, and other settings to suit their needs.

Types of PA Systems Available

There are several different types of PA systems available, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. One of the most common types is the portable PA system, which is designed to be easily transported and set up for use in a variety of settings. These systems are popular with mobile DJs and live bands or singers that need to take their sound system with them to each venue and be able to make adjustments to the volume and tone of the system to suit different environments.

Another common type of PA system is the installed or permanent system. These systems are designed to be installed in a fixed location, such as an auditorium or large church and worship houses that often feature a live band or choir. These systems may include multiple microphones, amplifiers, and speakers, as well as other components such as mixers and equalizers.

When choosing a PA system, it is important to consider a number of factors, including the size of the space, the number of people who will be in attendance, and the type of event being held. A professional sound technician can help to determine the optimal setup for a particular event or venue, taking into account factors such as the acoustics of the space, the type of sound being produced, and the intended audience.

Mixers for PA Systems

The mixer is a central component of any PA system, and along with speaker size should be the core factor when looking at a suitable package. A PA mixer is the hub for all your inputs, so this can be as simple as a CD player needing just 1 input channel, up to a PA system for church band that will require multiple microphone inputs for vocals along with channels for musical instruments. They can also include useful features such as Bluetooth streaming or DSP effects such as reverb to enhance speech and singing.

PA systems will often be tailored to specific users, with each package including additional equipment for those particular needs. A DJ PA system may have a smaller mixer, or sometimes no mixer at all as many DJs use audio controllers which will connect directly to an amplifier or to active speakers.

A live band PA system is the opposite to this, requiring a larger mixer for the connection of multiple inputs, and will often include mic stands and dynamic vocal microphones.

Speakers for PA Systems

Speaker size and type will set the limits of what your chosen PA system is capable of in terms of venue size and overall performance. A set of 8” speakers for example will be fine for small gatherings but will struggle to impress at larger events or with louder volume requirements.

Many live bands and vocalists find a 12” speaker system to give a great mix of sound output and tonal quality, whereas a DJ playing pop and dance will be better served with a larger 15” speaker set and their lower bass capability.

PA speakers can also be passive or active. Passive speakers require an external amplifier to power them, while active speakers have built-in amplifiers, making them more portable and easier to set up. Many lower cost PA systems will use traditional passive speakers and an amplifier, or even a combined mixer-amplifier unit, and are a great option for smaller events, social clubs or karaoke party hosts. Many people prefer the simplicity of a passive speaker system and the fact that amplifier and speaker are separate from each other.

Active PA speakers are the most popular modern option for DJs and live bands, providing total convenience and high performance. They come in many different sizes and designs to suit different requirements, with higher power types offering a level of sound reinforcement that would require multiple power amplifiers and passive speakers to match their output. This fact, along with features such as active crossovers and things like built-in Bluetooth streaming makes all modern active PA speakers an excellent choice.

PA System Accessories

In addition to the basic components of a PA system, there are also a number of accessories and add-ons that can be used to enhance the sound and functionality of the system. These may include wireless microphones, mixers, equalizers, and amplifiers, as well as special effects such as reverb or delay. These tools can help to create a more immersive and engaging sound experience for the audience and can be especially useful for musical performances or other artistic events.

Overall, a high-quality PA system is an essential tool for any event or gathering where clear and powerful sound is needed. Whether for a large concert or a small gathering or meeting, a PA system can help to ensure that everyone in attendance can hear and engage with the message being conveyed. With a variety of options available, from portable systems to permanent installations, there is a PA system to suit every need and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PA system?

A PA (public address) system describes an audio system used to amplify music, vocals and instruments for audiences to hear.

PA systems are ideal for events such as parties, karaoke, concerts and shows, and are widely used by DJs, bands, singers and churches.

There are a great range of PA systems available in many shapes and sizes to suit every purpose and venue.

How many types of PA system are there?

There are many types of PA system to suit different uses. Front of house systems amplify vocals and instruments during performances and are aimed at the audience.

Alternatively speakers can be used as on-stage monitors, aimed at performers so they can hear clearly. PA systems vary significantly in size and shape, but include several key components; speakers, mixers, amplifiers and cables.

There are also battery powered PA systems for portable use.

What is needed for a PA system?

A PA system is usually made up of one or more loudspeakers, an amplifier, a mixer, a microphone and the cables needed for connection.

Many of our PA systems also include useful extras, such as speaker stands, carry bags and subwoofers to suit your needs.

We provide a tailored range of packages in various sizes designed for live bands, professional DJs, outdoor events, and church use.

Which PA system is best?

To find the best PA system consider your individual needs, and the area to be covered. We offer small systems that are easy to transport and set up, and more extensive medium and large systems for a more powerful sound.

Our complete PA systems provide everything needed to get you up and running, and are reliable, delivering an excellent performance for many shows to come. Please contact us and we can find the best PA system for your needs.

Do PA sound systems include active or passive speakers?

PA sound systems may include active or passive speakers, and we offer both types to suit your preferences. Systems with active speakers do not require a separate amplifier and can be powered directly from a mains power supply. This provides a simpler set-up, with less cabling required.

In comparison, if using passive speakers, these will need to be connected to the included amplifier to receive power. Alternatively, a passive speaker can connect to a suitable active speaker.

What is the best cheap PA system?

We offer a selection of cheap PA systems that guarantee a high-quality performance at an affordable price. However, the best system for you will depend on your particular needs.

The included equipment and inputs/features vary significantly between PA systems. For instance, some are designed for DJ use, while others are suited for a singer, or for band use.

Our affordable selection of PA systems offer reliability and contain everything needed for set-up. For help finding the best option for your needs, please get in touch with our helpful team.

Do you need a subwoofer with a PA system?

The addition of a subwoofer to your PA system is a great way to enhance your low bass capability, while also allowing your main speakers to work a little less which will increase their overall performance.

For live bands wishing to mic up the kick drum and bass player, or a DJ playing bass-heavy dance music, a subwoofer will provide a depth of sound that simply isn't possible to achieve any other way.

No matter how good or how expensive a set of PA speakers are, their frequency response and cabinet design will not be capable of producing sub-bass or even low-bass extension.

How do i choose a subwoofer for my PA system?

An important factor for choosing the correct PA subwoofer will be how you intend to use it. There are two ways of incorporating a sub into a PA system, which will give very different results, and will dictate the size of sub required and its power rating.

For live bands and vocalists, the standard way to include a subwoofer will be running the audio output of the mixer through the sub and then out to the main speakers, which then become ‘mid-tops’ only, not producing any bass frequencies below a specific range that is set on the subs crossover unit.

For DJs on the other hand, a subwoofer will often be run alongside the main PA speakers, with the sub being set to operate on much lower frequencies, allowing the tops to produce a full signal while the subwoofer takes care of the heavier drops and sweeps.

For these reasons, most bands will only need a 12” or maybe 15” subwoofer system, as the signals its being fed are not that low and its main job is as stress relief for the top speakers. Which is the opposite to a DJ, who will be playing bass heavy and continuous music which requires higher amplification power and a larger enclosure to do its job successfully, meaning a minimum of 15” but ideally an 18” unit.

How do you set up a PA system?

To set up a PA system first securely mount the PA speakers to their stands. Next ensure all equipment is plugged in and connected correctly.

Passive speakers will need to be connected to an amplifier. Then make sure that your mixer and microphones are easily accessible for use, and carry out a soundcheck.

If purchasing a portable system this will be all-in-one for plug-and-play use, and may include a rechargeable battery.

How much does a good PA system cost?

There are many good PA systems available at varying costs, depending on the size of the system. We offer a selection of small affordable PA systems for a low-budget set-up.

We also have a selection of medium and larger PA systems that cost more, but provide a very powerful performance and include extras such as speaker stands.

All of our systems are great value for money and we can help you find the best system for you.

What can I expect from a complete PA system?

Built for the working DJ, new band, club or bar owners and modest outdoor events, all of our complete PA systems usually consist of a pair of 12 inch or 15-inch active speakers.

This is usually alongside one or two separate powered subwoofer units, these powerful systems include everything you'd expect to play your music loud.

How many watts PA system do I need?

Wattage is used as a selling point for speakers, where in reality it can only suggest how capable a PA speaker is electrically, not sonically.

It's much more sensible to look at the requirements of your PA system as a whole, what size venue or venues will it be used in, and what type of sound level and frequency response you are wanting it to produce.

For example you can have 8” speakers and 12” speakers with identical wattage ratings than on paper they technically should be as powerful sounding as each other, but in reality the 12” will have much larger frequency response and a higher SPL due to its ability to push more air.

That said, wattage is a prominent figure in PA systems, so as a rough guide, a system between 400-600W is suitable for smaller venues, with 600-1000W being for medium to larger locations. Anything 1000W and above will allow you to obtain more than adequate volume levels, with professional PA speakers often having ratings of 1500-2000W each.

Can you use a PA system for DJ?

Any PA system can be used for a DJ to play music, though there are packages especially aimed at DJ use which will usually omit the inclusion of a PA style mixer as its often not required for modern DJs using controllers or laptops.

DJ PA systems will either be the more traditional passive speaker and power amplifier setup which many older mobile DJs still prefer using, or will be active speakers, either in a standard full-range cabinet design, or the popular column top and subwoofer packages.
