PA?

[Fabbio]

It may be a stupid question, but....


What does PA stands for?

I know it refers to the big speakers an audience listen to live acts in the crowd but what PA exactly is? Personal Assistant? Powerful Audio?

(please feel free to give the two letters any new name but please tell me also what is the real name)...

Thanks guys!!!

Thanks, man!!!

You lifted a cloud from me!!! It's never too late to fill the gaps.
Fifteen years of playing and I still didn't know this PA thing.

Now I know.

Interesting how their initial function was to address audiences, and not to blare a whole rock band, pushing more SPLs.
