Re: Your PA Rig?



Brent -   I use a pair of Behringer B208Ds. 220 watts each.  They really thump for such little guys.  Adjustable bass and treble dials, 1/4 and xlr inputs.  Powered so you can plug a mic directly in.  For smaller rooms, I use one. 

When using both speakers, I run everything through a Behringer 802 mixer, run stereo out to my loop station (RC-50) and then line-out to the speakers (R,L).  The 802 isn't an awesome sounding mixer; but it's pretty good and I can dial it quick.  More than that it's durable and will take some serious use and abuse.  Gets the job done and I'm very happy with it. No on board effects, I use pedals.

If you need the effects, the 1202FX would be worth looking into.

Brent,

For about 4 years now I have been using a pair of little Mackie SRM150s as my personal stereo monitoring.

In a small space like an art gallery or something like that they can be the PA as well.

If I need to provide a bigger PA than that (with more ooomph), I patch in a pair of Mackie SRM450s.

It's ok for practicing but it's cumbersome to take the speakers places. Larger places have their own PA anyway. So I'm looking for something physically manageable for smallish places and/or maybe busking. Ideally it would be a little more powerful, too.
