Professional audio or pro audio is a category of studio-grade and high-quality audio equipment. Professional audio equipment consists of speakers, microphones, wireless systems, amplifiers, preamps, equalizers, dynamic processors, mixers, audio converters, headphones, and audio interfaces. For example, when the vocalist sings into a microphone, the audio signal gets converted into an electrical signal. This signal is then amplified by a microphone preamplifier and processed by dynamic processors and equalizers. Finally, the signal gets converted to digital data via an analog to digital audio converter, which is recorded on a computer using software (called DAW - Digital Audio Workstation). Similarly, when performing on a keyboard at a live music venue, the signal from this digital instrument (sometimes with analog components) goes into a Direct Box, which reduces unwanted noise, distortion, and ground loops. This signal then goes into a ‘mixer,’ which has preamps and other effect processors built-in. After processing and leveling all instruments through the mixer, the combined audio output is sent to speakers for playback.
Professional audio equipment is a diverse range of tools used to capture, process, and amplify high-quality sound for various applications. Some of the most common applications include music production, film & TV production, live sound reinforcement, broadcasting, sound design, and education. However, professional audio equipment is used in a wide range of other settings such as corporate events, houses of worship, sports venues, theme parks, nightclubs & bars, and recording & podcast studios. The range of applications for professional audio equipment is quite extensive and continues to evolve as technology and creativity progress.
The market for professional audio equipment market is anticipated to expand significantly during the forecast period owing to rise in tendency of increased expenditures on global festivals and music concerts, increase in use of audio equipment in automobiles, and surge in demand for HD & Ultra HD sound quality audio tracks. In addition, during the forecast period, the professional audio equipment market is anticipated to benefit from rise in investment on developing voice-enabled smart interactive devices. On the other hand, growth in the professional audio equipment market is expected to be restrained by the high cost of high end professional audio equipment.
