Re: Your PA Rig?



I started out with a Behringer kx900 I think it was. 3 ins, but only 1
xlr. So guitar through looper to amp, mic through harmonizer to amp,
and mic on foot powered cajon.

A keyboard amp is not a bad choice because, as I understand, they are
full range to take advantage of the keyboard.

I outgrew it when I started playing some bigger open air gigs.
So I bought a Yamaha StagePas 500.
It consists of two speakers, 10in/1in tweeter. and a mixer/amp which
fits in the back of one speaker.
4 xlr ins with bass and treble and 3 stereo ins with the same. It has
a monitor out, but no individual monitor mix levels. That, I believe,
is it's biggest flaw.
It has compression on two channels, and reverb, which I don't use.
Anyway, it's plenty for what I do at this point. When I need a
monitor, I use my roland ac30.

Good luck and have fun!
Rusty
