subject: Pa Systems Get Your Attention [print this page] When speaking to many people at one time, you know that you have to make sure everyone can hear you. Sometimes that's not easy to do. At a party, meeting or other event, you don't want to try shouting over hundreds or even a thousand people. Getting top-of-the-line PA systems allows you to connect with groups of any size.
Public address systems have dramatically improved their power and range since their invention. A microphone with a speaker or amplifier is probably the standard setup for public address systems. You have many choices when it comes to good traditional audio systems. If you want cutting-edge technology, there is a perfect audio system for you, too.
Consider how portable you want your public address system to be. A portable public address system doesn't let cords and other equipment hook-ups hold you back. A wireless portable audio system lets you talk through a microphone that's wireless or one that has a clip-on transmitter. If you wan to have your hands free, many portable audio systems also have an over the ear microphone. With your portable audio system, you can increase your range and improve the sound quality of your audio.
A good portable system also needs a speaker or more and an amplifier and audio mixer. You need these things to make your voice really stand out. Portable audio systems typically come in a grouping with at least one speaker. A big advantage of a wireless audio system is that many can accommodate adding another speaker or as many as you need, and each speaker can transmit the same wireless microphone. A mixer gives you the ability to create various sound effects, from talking with music in the background to dropping in audio effects. If you want more convenience and portability, you can find an audio mixer that also controls your amplifier and other functions. It's also possible to find a mixer and amplifier in one component.
Excellent PA systems let you speak to groups of huge sizes with the same ease as if you were speaking to a small group. Audio technology is improving so that portable PA systems give you flexibility, and they also let you build your components for a better system. It doesn't matter what you're doing because your voice is sure to be heard.
