A PA system, or public address system, is a combination of equipment used to amplify sound so that it can be heard by a large audience. It typically includes a microphone, amplifier, and loudspeakers. These systems are commonly used in various settings, such as schools, concerts, and public events, to ensure that announcements or performances can be heard clearly. The main purpose of a PA system is to enhance communication. By converting sound waves from a speaker's voice into electrical signals, the system amplifies these signals and broadcasts them through loudspeakers. This technology helps to reach audiences in large spaces where normal speaking would not be sufficient.
