WILLY T talks PA, FOLDBACK, MULTI-CORE and STAGEBOX, fluently.
A PA, as the name suggests, is a Public Address System. The term public address is simply that, a way in which one person’s voice or music can be heard over many, to address the public. At its simplest a PA is a combination of microphone, amplifier and speaker, e.g. a loudhailer. All PA systems operate using variations of the same basic equipment and operating principles and, in theory, all systems are the same – it’s just a matter of scale.

Sound aficionado WILLY T talks AUXILIARY POWER, and what it has to do with live sound.
Each piece of gear in the long line from the stage to out the speakers – the signal-path – has a level at which the device operates at its best or optimum. If the gear is run too gently the signal can be swamped in the ‘hiss’ of background noise. If we run the gear too hard the signal can ‘break up’ or distort. And we are not talking about the type of creamy guitar-sound distortion that makes Strats scream and Gibsons growl, but more like the nasty sounds of analogue electrical circuits being pushed way out of their comfort-zone or digital numbers melting into non-linear chaos theory!
