I don't know if you want to cut this off at only musical performance, but large scale speech sound reinforcement goes back much earlier for large public events, etc. |

Check out the "History" thread on Rupert Neve's site. He was building portable PA systems used by Princess Elizabeth and Winston Churchill in the 30's and 40's. http://rupertneve.com/company/history/1940/ |
