For simple folk music in the same venue, that requirement can come down to as little as 60 watts.

The simplest job of any public address system is to amplify a single microphone through a powered speaker. The amplifier receives a signal from the microphone, amplifies it according to the speaker’s level control, and then outputs sound from the speaker.
