What are some good speakers to do small and big gigs.. ???
Anybody.. what are u guys using when u do small gigs..and big gigs like weddings.. any advice.. I’m still thinking on what kind of… speakers to get…
Mackie SRM450s!
- a 15" Sub (I’m using DB Technologies Sub 15).
check out www.billfitzmaurice.com
the best sound at the best price as long as you dont mind a little work.
it depends on how much money u want to spend if u dont have that musch money go with behringer or gemini also u really want to buy the speakers with internal amplifier so u dont have to carry the speakers and the ampplifiers and plus u save some money lol if money is not a issue go wit mackie,jbl or samson u would never go wrong with them let me know what u decide
hmmmm it depends man… I mean I just want a good hitting system… I only wanna spend less than a 1000 on it… but with good speakers that last..is behringer and gemini good??
I’ve been checking out those makie’s 450’s 700 is kinda too much for a speaker.. but at the same time its good quality…
whats like the best speaker with a built in amplifier… I know the makie, behringer, b-52, jbl eon.. has it.. but what other ones have it that are good… just trying to get different opinions..
I’m thinking I’m gonna have to go pssl or guitar center to try them out.. and see for myself..
I’ve heard alot of people say great things about the B-52 matrix 1000…I think they are fairly cheap (like 700$ US if I am not mistaken) and sound really good.
EV is very good as well.
Don’t sleep on Technical Pro speakers, just make sure you get the poles and the bass bottoms
Ive used the B 52’s, behringer, Mackies and the Yamaha s115 with a my rp 10s attached and all sound pretty good… Depends on location and how many people etc… I just done some gigs outside, some in a living room, some in a basement, some in bars etc..
I can say right away i always have my skeptics on Behringer stuff. I always hear about their gear wearing out on a lot faster than other manufactures!
My philosophy is the more thump you can provide the better the experience for your clients… Cause when you go to a show, what do you love about a live show?? The heart THUMPING bass!!! It really helps you remember a show…
I like the B 52’s for the price… It gives you a sub and 2 monitors that can yell at you pretty good!!
Hope this helped a little bit! If you want more in depth PM me! (sorry on a bouncing train currently)
Behringer B212As are good bang for your money.
I have the plans for the Tuba 36 / Tuba 24 and the Omnitop 12 very nice designs… if you have a little experience in speaker building these are great designs… i’ve been building pa cabs and auto subs for years and these are very efficiency designs.
ID love to have a dozen of the Tuba-39 Cabs and a rack of amps… just to feel the awesome power of horn loaded subs
Ok back to the recommendations..
For passive cabs that are ready to do… the Yamaha Club V series slam the 15" are really good. Ive also played on a pair of the passive 18" single subs from Yamaha.
If you are looking for powered speakers The JBL ion series works great for a mobile DJ and The Mackie powered subs are nice as well.
It’s not that I absolutely love the mackies, but I’ve been playing with them a lot lately… they sound relatively crisp and are a workhorse. this is more than what you’d want but I usually play with 4 tops and 2 basses (2xmonitors for DJ, 4xmids for crowd, 2xsubs for crowd) and it sounds great. they are a bit on the pricey side, but you get quality speakers and amps that wont overheat and shut off on you mid party unless you’re constantly clipping them for the price. I’ve used behringers and b52s before and to me they sound a bit muddy. the best thing you can do is take a cd that you absolutely love to the store and hear it on the different systems. same goes for buying studio monitors.
