Sound

"When a large gathering is to be addressed, sound needs to be amplified and transmitted through loud speakers so that the people at distance from rostrum may receive sound of adequate intensity for comfortable listening. This system consisting of microphones an amplifier and loud speakers is called a public access system" (R G Gupta 2010; 207/284).

Therefore to create this sound you need to set the system up:

- Carefully lift speaker and place on top of tri stand

-  Plug the microphone into the mixing desk before plugging the microphone lead into the speaker

- REMEMBER to turn on the mixing desk and then the speakers to prevent the speakers from blowing

- Here is a guide on how to use a mixing board:

                                                         (Introduction to using a mixer 2012)

- REMEMBER to turn the speakers off before the mixing desk after using the equipment

- How to coil cables:

Here are two examples of technical specifications, which will be shown to you before an act sets up:
