Quick answer
A good PA installation starts with zones (areas you want to page separately) and speaker placement for even coverage, not just loudness. Cables are run to each zone, speakers mounted, the amplifier or paging gateway configured, and every zone is tested and balanced before staff are shown how to use it.
