PA System Opinions Sought
Might as well ask here, too...
I'm looking into buying a small PA system, suitable for small (i.e., audience under 100 people) venues which I can use to combine line input guitar from a built-in pickup on an acoustic guitar, and vocal. Cost *is* a factor. I have been looking at the Fender Passport PD-150, but I'd be curious if anybody here would be willing to offer advice on a good choice for such an application which offers reasonable (preferably under $500) price, decent sound, and good portability. I already have mics and cables. I'd also be interested in suggestions for good choices for how to monitor such a system. |

Behringer PMH2000 mixer/amp two B1220 Seconded. We gig with that setup essentially. The passport is a chuck of crap in comparison, IMO. Thanks for both replies. I've got an ancient system now, with two 50+ pound speakers and and an amp that will allow up to 6 line/mic inputs -- even though I need only two. It's usuable...but clunky beyond words, especially for playing one-hour gigs in front of small groups -- I spend nearly as much time moving as I do playing. (worse, IT is not easily monitorable, either.) Anybody know of something a tad more mobile, WITH monitoring capabilities (which I'm sure would have to be purchased separately)? Anyone? Bueller? |

We switched away from the heavier B1520's and switched to the much more compact and light B212's for our mains and it's been working quite well. To get more power, we simply bought 2 more of them for our full band setup. When we do acoustic duo work, we bring 2 of them out. http://www.behringer.com/PMH660M/index.cfm?lang=ENG http://www.behringer.com/B212/index.cfm?lang=ENG or http://www.behringer.com/B215/index.cfm?lang=ENG Takes care of you rmain and monitoring requirements and is cheap cheap cheap. These speakers are very light and perform well to boot. If you want your acoustic guitar to sound fuller, go for the 215 for the mains--they're still very light. Much obliged, Todd -- this oughta give me something to work with. |
