Hi everyone,

I've got a small PA system that I've owned for a few years, and have
used as at my solo shows in the pubs and bars for the past 4-5 years.
While it's all I'll ever need, I have been lately strugging with the
sound since someone messed with the mixer settings to their 'liking'.

I'm by no means a sound person, just a performer. I'd really like to
get a clean and warm sound from the mains and my monitor.

Here's my gear:

Yorkville MP8Dx powered mixer
2xPeavey TLS-1 speakers (150W)
Shure SM-58 mic (I sometimes use my Audio Technica HE-141)

I use an old Peavey Studio Pro guitar amp as a powered monitor, and
I'm really only performing with an acoustic guitar, mandolin,
harmonica and voice.

I play mostly small and medium sized pubs and bars, and don't go too
loud (or quiet). I don't have a powerful voice, so I really need to
compensate on my vocal channel somehow and make the best of it. At my
last gig, the bartender quickly helped me out by basically turning the
mid-ranges completely down. This left the low-ranges at about 40% and
the upper-range band at around 60%. It REALLY cleaned up the sound,
but I thought I'd get some good input here.

If anyone's not familiar with this powered mixer, it's got a 2 amps
(400w + 200w). It's got an EQ for both amps, and each channel has
gain, effects, 3-band eq.

Any help is appreciated, and please let me know if I need to be more
specific.

Thanks!

Ken
