What Should You Look For In A New PA System

By Eric M Odessean


Have you been tasked with researching a new PA or audio visual system for your venue, business or church? Has your old system seen better days and you're looking at the options available to you these days? Wading through the options available to you while taking into consideration the cost can be tricky. After all, you know that you need a new sound system but you aren't the only one making this decision so you need to be sure you understand what you need to replace the old system as well as plan for the future.

Price can often become a sticking point since it is entirely possible to go overboard when it comes to the many options and levels of quality. Quality should be your primary concern since replacing the old sound system with one that is under-powered or inherently problematic can be embarrassing. After all, how bad would you and your organization look if you had a major malfunction during a performance or gathering such as a wedding or an important meeting or service? Even a new system that performs poorly can leave people wishing that you hadn't gone to a new system and all of your work and the expenditure would have been for nothing.

A newer sound system is almost invisible and it can only enhance the listener's experience while an old crackling PA system detracts from what your audience came to see and hear. New headsets that are almost invisible and which utilize wireless technology help both the audience and the speaker to forget that sound is being amplified. Say goodbye to old school lapel mics and a speaker being chained to the front of the room or the pulpit, so to speak.

When you first start gathering information and researching your new PA or audio visual system, have some fun learning about the many options that are available to you. Embrace the technology and allow yourself to dream a little bit. The ability to broadcast, record and broadcast at a later date as well as integrating visual aspects into a simple PA system are all things that you can think about. How will these elements benefit your organization and are these options a possibility now or in the near future?

Keep in mind that as your business, church or venue grows in popularity, your sound system should grow with it. Starting small and adding to a good quality system is much easier than buying something cheap and having to replace it again in another couple of years. Keep all of this in mind and have fun researching all the different capabilities of the many sound systems on the market and see how a new audio visual system can make a great event even better.
