PA Amplifiers

PA amplifiers are designed for use with passive speakers, and play a vital role in powering your sound system. They provide your speakers with the wattage needed to operate and produce sound, and they typically include volume controls to optimise your audio output. Many of our PA amplifiers also feature a range of useful input and playback options, such as AUX inputs, Bluetooth and USB playback. We offer an extensive range of reliable PA amplifiers in various designs to suit your power and input requirements. They are ideal for mobile DJs, clubs, studios and PA installations.

There are a wide range of amplifiers available to suit all requirements. The wattage and impedance vary between models to meet different power requirements. It is important to ensure that your amplifier and speakers are well matched in terms of power for the best performance, and to avoid damage to equipment. In addition, the available features will differ between models, and may include; Bluetooth capability, an MP3 player with USB and/or SD card ports, and AUX inputs to connect audio devices. A remote control is also included with some models so you can control the amplifier from a distance.

PA amplifiers are designed to work with speakers that have a passive design, and can work with a wide range of speakers, including; ceiling speakers, and wall mounted and freestanding speakers. However, you will need to make sure your speakers and amplifier are compatible in terms of wattage and impedance. This is easy to check by looking at the product specifications for both. Your amplifier should have a high enough wattage to enable speakers to work at their maximum volume level without any issues. Similarly, the impedance rating of your speakers and amplifier should match closely, to avoid causing damage to your equipment.

The impedance rating that you need for your PA amplifier will depend on the rating of your speakers. It is important to ensure that these match closely to avoid damage to your equipment and to achieve the best performance. You can check the impedance by looking at the specification of each model.

The process of setting up a PA amplifier is straightforward, although it may vary between models. Firstly the amplifier will need to be wired to a mains power supply. The amplifier will then need to be connected to suitable passive speakers with speaker cables. Following this, you can usually connect external audio sources, such as a computer or record player to the amplifier through the AUX inputs. Some models also feature Bluetooth connectivity so that you can pair a smart device to stream music wirelessly. In addition, certain models include a USB/SD card port, enabling you to connect a USB stick or SD card to play MP3 files.

To find the best PA amplifier, it is important to consider your usage purposes and requirements. Amplifiers can vary significantly in their wattage and impedance ratings, and you should select an amplifier that is suitable for your passive speakers to achieve the best audio performance. Also consider the included features that you would like. For instance, some models include multiple AUX inputs, Bluetooth technology and USB/SD card MP3 players. Some units additionally include bridge and parallel mode which enable you to adjust the sound output.

Most of our PA amplifiers include several input and playback options, providing various ways to play music. The majority of amplifiers will include AUX inputs that enable you to connect an external audio source, such as a laptop or CD player, and some will include multiple inputs so you can switch easily between audio devices. Bluetooth connectivity is also popular, and enables you to stream music wirelessly from a paired smart device, such as a tablet or smartphone. Some models additionally include USB/SD card ports that allow you to connect USB sticks and SD cards to play MP3 files.

No, you do not need a PA amplifier if you are using active speakers. Active speakers contain an in-built amplifier that provides them with power. Therefore they can connect directly to the mains power and they will be ready for use. In comparison, passive speakers need an amplifier to provide power, and they will not function without. You may still choose to use a mixer with active speakers, as this would provide extra inputs and audio controls.
