Way to setup a pa system however want to go with more then 2 speakers was thinking 4 12s or 15s and a sub
Want to be powered not passive anyone able to recommend best route of doing this and prefer behringer speakers due to low price point. I’ve googled search but can’t find any good advice on this. Ideally would rather have 2 front 2 back sub up front. So will need to be able to link? Them all together.
I think if I read correctly with the behringers you can link two without using another xlr. Would be outputting from my ns6 if that makes sense?
Or will I need an actual soundboard to output to that amount of speakers?
First of all why 4 tops and 1 sub? You probably want more subs before even thinking about more tops. You would be much better off investing in two decent subs and two decent tops- but first what kind of rooms and how many people?
As far as your other question any decent powered speakers will offer chaining where each speaker has an XLR input and output where you can link multiple speakers. Also avoid the behringers if you can (I own one currently and have owned real PA speakers in the past and there is a world of difference).
Haha yes I realize was a theoretical situation. Was unsure if 4 speakers and 2 subs all up front but around 50ft apart or for back of hall 2 and front 2.
4 upfront for open air and 2 front 2 back for venue use.
Btw thanks for the quick reply for the life of me couldn’t remember chaining on most or not but vaguely remember. It’s been over 12 years since I’ve done anything with pa systems
Are ev’s a good brand? I noticed them on the same place and they aren’t too much more costly so maybe worth getting 2 and a sub to start with and see how it works
I have an old pair of EV eliminators (2 15’s and 2 18’s) and they absolutely crumble house foundations, I first only used a 6000 wat amp but upgraded to 10,000 later. Sounded great before but now they wreck
as for the OP, EV is a good brand. Great quality sound. If you can somehow manage it though, try to save up and go with QSC. That’s the cream of the crop, and worth every penny. I have two 12 inch tops and an 18 for a sub, and it sounds incredible.
Yeah money isn’t the issue it’s justifying purchase to other half. Lower price means easier to justify.
Yes speakers in front and back creates a great feel IMO however it can be tricky getting it adjusted to go well.
Good example is if you have a decent home theater setup switch on 5 or 7 channel stero and listen to some music. Lots of times when kid and wife aren’t home I bang out a set on the coffe table hooked to my home theater in 5 channel mode. Makes for great sound.
You can try to find some rcf 312’s They have dropped substantial in price 499 and sound really good. Only they might be hard to find. Look into the professional sound forums, you will not or almost nothing negative said about them.
Don’t let the watts of speakers fool you, it’s all about the balance of the speakers and how the amp works together with the speakers.
The amount of bad advice on here is amazing! You’ve got a guy telling you to run 10,000 watts into a pair of mediocre 18" subs, and another saying that 4-channel sound is “better” than 2 channel. Better how? And you can’t tell people that QSC is “cream of the crop,” as if the brand, not the specific speaker and application, make all the difference.
