Live Sound

We started learning about how to rig a PA system. We used an SM58 microphone, connected it into a pre-amp using an XLR cable, then we used a jack cable to connect the pre-amp to a speaker control so that we could adjust the gain of the microphone. Using another jack cable we connected the speaker control to a power amp and then finally we connected the power amp to a couple of speakers.

We went through the health and safety of setting up the system, we covered things like making sure that cables are neat and tidy so that they are not trip hazards. We also learned that when setting up the PA system, we shouldn't plug or unplug anything whilst the power is on because that might cause a power surge thus making the system pop and that could damage people's hearing.

I will use what I have learnt in the future in a place work if I am ever required to set up a PA system.


We drew a chart of the PA system that we rigged.
We labeled the equipment that we used including the cables
