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.

[edit] Way too Generic

This article is way to generic. The opening sentence is a run on and needs to be re written. The defining of the terms "PA" and "Sound Reinforcement" are also too generic. A sound reinforcement system is only meant to be unnoticed in Jazz and Classical genre's, in contemporary music the SR system also enhances the live sound as well as amplifying it.

A good example of how far to generic this article is the section that specifies that a 19" rack is the ideal rack to have a the FOH position. Many different quantities and sizes of racks are used at FOH are used and defining a specific size is irrelevant to the topic. I suggest this article be rewritten to include more about larger systems and be disambiguated a bit. --PM - PhilyG ^talk 18:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
