Speakers are what project the sound to you and your audience. There are many different categories of speakers but the most common are front of house speakers, monitors, and subwoofers.
Front of house (FOH) speakers are the main speakers used in a PA system. They’re going to be the most visible. The size of these speakers can vary widely depending on the venue or event type. Subwoofers are normally quite large and work in tandem with FOH speakers, enhancing the overall volume and tone of the resulting sound. Monitor speakers sit on the stage and are positioned to towards the performers. musicians will generally perform better if they can hear themselves! However, with the increasing popularity of Wireless In-Ear monitors, we are seeing less monitor speakers on stages because artists are able to hear themselves through the headsets they wear.
