PA SYSTEM
 Public Address System
 Public address (P.A) system originated in ancient
Greece with the construction of amphitheatres
 “Public address system is a set of equipments to
amplify sound so that it is audible to a large audience
over a distance.”
 Used in extension programmes involving a large
number of people such as mass meeting, training
programme, field day or farmer’s day , campaign,
exhibition etc.
Components of Public Address System
• A public address system has three components:
1.Microphone/ Mike/ Mic
- It is an acoustic-to-electric sensor that converts sound
into an electrical signal.
2.Amplifier/electronic Amplifier/AMP
- It modulates the output of the power supply to make
the output signal stronger than the input signal.
3.Loudspeaker/Speaker
- It is a device which convert an electrical audio signal
into a corresponding sound.
Components of Public Address System
 Working of a public address system
 The working of the PA system consists of 4 steps:-
1.Beings with a sound source (such as a human voice),
which creates waves of sound (acoustical energy).
2. These waves are detected by a microphone ,which
converts them to electrical energy.
3. This signal is amplified is an amplifier up to a
required level.
4. The loudspeaker converts the electrical signal back
into sound waves, which are heard by human ears.
 Types of public address system
1.Small PA systems
 Simplest PA systems consisting of a microphone, an
amplifier, and one or more loudspeaker.
2.Large PA system
 PA system having speakers that cover an entire
campus of a college or industrial site.
3.Long line PA systems
>Any PA system across a wide geographic area,
larger than in large PA systems.
 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

 Bring audio-visual inputs to the programme
 Inputs planned elsewhere in the world can be
brought into the programme
 Demonstrations
 Webinars
 Quizzes
 Lectures
Advantages of Using LCD Projector
 Low power consumption
 Unconstrained by geographical location of device
 Clearer image display
 Can incorporate audio and video clips
 Easier note taking
 Greater teaching versatility
 Better use of class time
 Things to be kept in mind while using a
LCD projector
 Will the presentation hold the attention of the
audience?
 Will it efficiently supplement what he/she is going to
present?
 can the audience listen to the talk of the presenter
