what would u need for PA system? when djing in a culb
Hi, at bare minimum, you would need 2 PA speaker cabinets capable of handling high power levels, a power amplifier and a simple mixer (for going between CDs, records, etc.). For better bass response, you might want to rent a "powered subwoofer" to separately amplify the bass parts of the music.NatMor 17:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sound reinforcement / PA system
I have done live sound for a number of years. I was never aware of any distinction between "sound reinforcement" and a "pa system" of the type implied in this article. They are both means of amplifying the sound.
It's true that different venues and types of events have different requirements, but people would use either of these terms as appropriate in either a church or rock concert setup. (i.e. I ran the PA system at a church, I read the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook while I was learning to mix monitors for rock concerts). Both terms apply to both settings.
