PA Speakers continue to evolve to keep pace with today's music scene. From the Dance Hall to the Lecture Hall to the Parish Hall, AMS offers the finest selection. Select self powered (active) cabinets for simple setups, or enjoy the versatility of non-powered models (passive). Add some subwoofers to increase the low end and make sure you have enough onstage monitors to keep everybody happy!
When it’s time to get your music, voice, or mix out to a crowd, nothing matters more than the speakers carrying it. That’s where a solid set of PA speakers comes in, giving your sound the punch, clarity, and presence it needs to cut through. At American Musical Supply, we’ve got PA system speakers for every situation, from compact rigs that fit in the back seat to full-size cabinets that can shake the walls of any venue. Whatever stage you’re stepping on, we’ve got the gear to make sure your sound lands exactly how you want it.
Great live sound starts with great gear, and American Musical Supply carries PA system speakers from the brands trusted by musicians, DJs, and venues everywhere. Whether you need compact PA system speakers for a coffeehouse set or a full rig for a touring band, these names deliver the clarity, volume, and reliability that make performances unforgettable.
With AMS, you can trust your PA speakers to keep the show running strong.
Choosing the right PA speakers means knowing what each type brings to the show. From self-powered cabinets that plug in and go, to subs that deliver earth-shaking lows, here’s a guide to help you match the gear to your gig.
Powered, or active, PA speakers are the plug-and-play kings. With built-in amps, you just connect your mixer or mic, dial in your levels, and you’re good to go. They’re a favorite for working musicians who need reliable sound without hauling racks of extra gear.
Passive speakers skip the built-in amp, which keeps them lighter and easier to rig up in permanent venues. Pair them with the right external power amp, and you’ve got a scalable system that grows with your needs, perfect for bands building their own live rigs.
If you want the kick drum to hit your chest and the bass to shake the room, subs are non-negotiable. A subwoofer takes care of the lowest frequencies, giving your mix depth and power while letting your mains focus on mids and highs.
Great front-of-house sound doesn’t mean much if the band can’t hear themselves. Stage monitors are the wedges on the floor that keep you locked into the groove. They make sure vocals stay on pitch, guitars stay tight, and the drummer doesn’t run away with the tempo.
When you want easy load-in and pack-up without losing power or clarity, the QSC KC12 Column PA is the only way to fly. It packs a 12” sub, two high-excursion 4” drivers, and one 1” HF compression driver to bring incredible sound in a compact and easy-to-transport package.
A great set of speakers is just the start; the right PA speaker accessories make your system easier to set up, safer to run, and better sounding. At American Musical Supply, we’ve got everything you need to complete your rig and keep it gig-ready.

Choosing the right PA speakers can bring up a lot of questions, especially when you’re piecing together a system for the first time. Here are some quick answers to help you get the most out of your PA setup.
That depends on the venue size. A small coffeehouse might only need two mains or one column PA, while larger rooms often call for mains, subs, and stage monitors for full coverage.
PA speakers are built to project sound across a room or outdoor space, while studio monitors are designed for critical listening and mixing in smaller, controlled environments.
Some powered PA speakers have basic inputs for microphones or instruments. But for multiple sources and real control, a mixer is highly recommended.
