For those who have been in bands, they will attest that it is not the easiest thing in the world to do, our selection of small band PA systems here are built to alleviate some of this strain. These kits are specifically built for bands to amplify their instrument and vocal signals towards audiences but have many other useful ways to utilise the additional components supplied, for example, as part of the setup for a rehearsal space.

Buy PA System for Bands

In terms of user access and affordability, the products available here are among the best PA systems for bands. With many variants to choose from you can find something that will suit your professional requirements to a tee. Kits arrive fast, fully-featured and ready for work, with options to incorporate microphones and mic stands too, for example, if your band has multiple vocalists.

While the focus here is PA systems for bands, there are some smaller packages for fitness and dance studios, aerobic instructors and sports centres. Medium-sized systems to that suit mobile entertainers, tribute acts, solo singers, acoustic acts or simply for giving public announcements. Naturally, our larger systems are great for live music bands, professional mobile DJs and outdoor performance events provided the performance covered up in case of rainfall.

The options available are numerous but if you would like to discuss a custom package with our sales team, do not hesitate to contact us directly over the phone.

Best PA Systems for Bands

At ElectroMarket, we offer the best PA systems for bands on the market at this price point. Regardless of the kit you decide upon, you can really begin to stretch the potential of what this equipment can do and with the right sound tweaking, you can get the very best from your PA purchase. Many bands find themselves needing reliability over anything else, it is risky to own a low-grade system that may peter out during your set. Luckily, our PA units are both sturdy, reliable and will continue to deliver a great performance for many shows to come.

Our systems are perfect for the touring band or act on the move, with everything able to arrive at your home on the same day. Many now also feature a battery power system, so can be charged up and used where mains power is not available. Medium-sized systems step things up a notch, with a pair of speaker cabs in either active configuration, or passive with a separate amplifier.

Small Band PA Systems

The smaller kits on offer are nothing to scoff at. These systems come in several sizes, and usually consist of a pair of powered industry-standard 12 inch or 15 inch (woofer diameter) units, and sometimes a separate powered subwoofer unit which can be used as bases for pole mounting the top speakers. Using an all active system like this provides power output and sound delivery that is truly impressive and will look great on stage with all of the other instruments in use. Many of these smaller band based packages include a PA mixer too, or feature built-in mixers through the active speaker units, alongside the regular microphone inputs that you'd come to expect.

Although the power handling varies by price point and manufacturer, even the more cheaper units available in our selection will have a continuous rating of at least 200W. These small band PA systems are more for the working band, small bars, outdoor events and for-hire companies to offer their clients a one time lend of their system.

As mentioned earlier, there is a wide variety of PA systems for bands available for all types of requirement and performance level. Of course, small band PA systems start modestly in size, are perfect for easy manoeuvring and have the simplest setup time. These are generally powered (active) trolley-based units with built-in amplifiers, MP3 players, VHF or UHF radio microphones, as described fully in our Portable PA section.

How do you set up a PA system for a band?

Covers and function bands often need their own PA set up to take to parties and other venues that may not have them. Firstly, securely mount the PA speakers to their respective stands, secondly, make sure all of your other equipment is plugged in / connected. Your mixer, microphones and other equipment should ideally be accessible to at least one of the band members on stage.

Thirdly, make sure you do a soundcheck, have somebody stand in front of your band as they perform and ask them to let you know what instrument needs a volume level change.

Fourthly, once you have achieved decent levels for each of the musicians via your mixer, do the same for all vocals that will be present during the show. It is a good idea to find somewhere on stage you can immediately access your mixer, and it is wise to learn the exact control settings needed to make your band sound the best. Although external sound engineers sometimes think they know best, it is usually only the professional band members that know the final sound in mind.

Finally, consider excluding anybody from approaching your set up once you have sound checked, even a friendly pub-goer could accidentally knock your mix for six.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Do I Need a Band PA System?

Band PA systems play a vital role in amplifying instruments and vocals, so that they can be clearly heard by the audience. Not all venues will have a PA rig, so every band should be prepared and have their own system that is ready to go. We provide a range of high-quality systems in differing sizes that include everything needed and are quick and simple to set up. Our systems are ideal for both function and cover bands, and they can be used in venues of various sizes. We also offer a range of smaller systems more suited to solo singers, acoustic acts etc.

How Do I Set Up A Band PA System?

The process to set-up a band PA system will vary between kits, however all our systems are designed to be easy to set-up and include everything needed. The first step is to mount each speaker onto a speaker stand. Secondly connect your speakers to a power source; passive speakers will need to connect to an amplifier, while active speakers connect directly to a mains power supply. The third step is to connect your other equipment; mixers, microphones, instruments etc. Make sure that your mixer is easily accessible so adjustments can be made. Lastly, carry out a soundcheck for each instrument and for vocals, and adjust volume levels to achieve the desired final sound.

What Types Of Band PA Systems Are Available?

A range of different sized band PA systems are available, and each varies in the features and equipment provided. We offer large systems that are perfect for live music bands and professional DJs. We also provide small and medium sized packages that are ideal for solo singers, acoustic acts, tribute acts, and mobile entertainers. Smaller systems are more compact, making transport and set-up easier, while larger systems provide a more powerful performance. Your kit may include an active or passive speaker design, the difference being that passive speakers require connection to an amplifier, whereas active speakers do not. In addition, the equipment included varies, with some packages featuring useful extras such as; microphone and speaker stands and subwoofers.

What Size Speakers and How Many Do I Need In A Band PA System?

The number, size and type of speaker that you use in a band PA system will depend on the size of your venue and audience. We offer a variety of active and passive speakers in differing sizes to suit all performances. Typically our systems include two loudspeakers, which would be placed on either side of the stage area. A subwoofer may also be included to enhance low frequencies and enable the main speakers to focus on higher frequencies. For smaller venues a pair of 10-12 inch loudspeakers and possibly a subwoofer would be suitable. Whereas for larger areas and audiences you may choose a pair of 15+ inch speakers and an 18-inch subwoofer for an effective performance.

Where Should Speakers Be Placed In A Band PA System?

Typically in a band PA system, two loudspeakers will be included and these will be placed at either end of the stage area, pointing towards the audience. We recommend that your speakers are mounted on speaker stands to create the ideal height to project sound to the crowd. If a subwoofer is included in your kit, then this is usually placed in the front centre of the area where you want the maximum bass response. Subwoofers are designed to be placed on the floor, and this creates the best result.

What Is The Best Band PA System?

To find the best band PA system or you, think about your needs and the size of the venues where you will be performing. There are a wide selection of systems available and each differ in their size and features. We offer smaller systems suited to solo singers, acoustic acts and small bands, and also larger more extensive systems for live bands and more sizeable venues. All of our systems are reliable and provide value for money, delivering a great performance for many shows to come.

We provide affordable small scale systems that are ideal for small bands and acoustic and solo acts.

The standard necessary components are one or more speakers, a mixer amplifier (or separate mixer and amplifier) with enough channels to connect all of your equipment, and the cables needed to connect the system together. In addition, popular equipment includes; microphones, microphone and speaker stands, and a subwoofer to boost low frequencies. If you choose a system with a passive speaker design you will need a separate amplifier, while active speakers feature an in-built amplifier. We offer a range of systems that include all the necessary equipment for your performance.

How Do I Operate A Band PA System?

The process of operating a band PA system may vary slightly between kits. Typically an audio mixer with multiple channels will be used to operate and control all connected equipment. This will often allow you to adjust the volume level of each instrument and microphone, and will also enable you to refine the final sound. Most systems will include a mixer, or one will be built into the active speaker. In addition, mixers usually provide multiple ways to play audio, and often feature Bluetooth technology, a USB/SD card media player for MP3 files often including, and AUX inputs, providing the option to play background music.

How Many Watts Does A Band PA System Need?

The total watts needed for your band PA system will depend on the average size of the audience and venue where you will be performing. Typically a smaller PA system will provide a continuous rating of at least 200-400W, which is ideal for small bars and venues.
