How Many Watts Does a Bar Actually Need?
A room-size based method for choosing PA power, why amplifier watts are a poor comparison metric, and the numbers that matter more: sensitivity and coverage.
Overview
A practical main PA for bars and mid-size event rooms: 15-inch three-way, plenty of headroom, and onboard DSP that still has the factory presets. These came from a hotel AV department with low hours. Grade A with light stand marks.
