PAMA, the Pro Audio Manufacturers Alliance, brings together the companies and people who make professional sound possible. Our goal isn’t to promote a brand, a technology or specifications. It’s to elevate the expectation for sound in every public space, help people recognize its emotional, social, educational and commercial value, and give sound the voice it truly deserves.
What we do
How PAMA gives sound a voice
PAMA began as a small group of pro audio manufacturers who met a few times a year to compare notes, benchmark and visit one another’s facilities. Today it is open to everyone who makes sound happen, and focused on sound itself.
Comparing notes at the 2024 annual meeting in Nashville.
Give Sound a Voice™. Our public campaign shows architects, venue owners, producers and everyday listeners what great sound does, and why it matters.
Education. Webinars, member meetings and plain-language resources that help everyone, inside the industry and out, learn to listen like a pro.
Hearing health. Through Hearing Rocks, we help the people who make sound protect the hearing their careers depend on.
A shared voice for the industry. Member surveys and research on the issues shaping our business, from supply chains to immersive audio, and collaboration with trade associations, standards and education bodies.
Room for every voice. Manufacturers, consultants, integrators, educators and engineers work together through committees, working groups and open forums. Join us.
