| Quote: | I need a set of 'throw away' PA mains for small rooms. Two way of
course...
and I won't be running instruments through the cabinets (though I will use
them for CD playback in between sets). Lead and backing vocals only, 3-5
singers. I need something that sounds as good as possible, but something
I
don't care about... (i.e., something that one of my sloppy musicians drops
and/or blows and I don't care too much about having to replace it).
I have been thinking about the powered Mackies, but I already have some
power amps. Plus, I'm also wondering what else is out there.. can I get
way
with spending less without the audience cringing? Here are some things
I'm
considering... comments on any/all are welcome and appreciated. All are
12"
two ways (I generally much prefer the sound of 12's for vocals over 15's,
and will add a sub when necessary for full range). 200 watts RMS is my
baseline.
I've already begun the process of visiting my local dealers and doing some
listening, but opinions are appreciated on what you guys think... I'm not
much of a live sound veteran.
- Mackie c300 (passive version of the 450)
- Peavey TLS 2X
- Yamaha S112V
- Alesis ProVenue 1201 (anyone heard these at all? brand new?)
- EV Sx100+
- Behringer B1220
Thanks for any advice!

Not sure if you can get HK Audio over in the US.... But if you do try
Premium 112 or Linear 112. Both pricewise a little over Behringer but
cheaper than the Turbo box mentioned earlier......

What's the point of the last option if you don't use it?
