A PA (public address) microphone is an essential audio device used for amplifying the voice of a speaker or performer in various settings, such as conferences, concerts, public events, and more. These microphones are designed to capture sound and transmit it through a sound system, ensuring clear and audible communication to a large audience. PA microphones come in various types, including handheld, lavalier, and headset microphones, each suited to specific applications and preferences, making them a versatile tool for effective public speaking and live performances.
