What is a PA system?
A P.A System or Public Address system is a collection of equipment that is normally used to amplify a group/band or solo artist. They are also used at large conferences to amplify the presenters voice so that can be heard clearly.
When you go to see your favourite band at a large concert venue they will be using a huge PA system. This makes them sound very loud and powerful. The sound engineer is the person that is in charge of the PA system. They have full control over what the band sounds like and can make adjustments to their sound as they play.

As previously mentioned, a PA system is made up of a few pieces of equipment. The picture below is an example of a very simple PA system.
