What do I need for my PA system!

Ok I have an update and a few questions!

  1. I have Mini KP and I am getting a VCI 100 soon. How many inputs and outputs should i look for in a soundcard?

  2. I think I am going to get some JBL Active 15 Eon’s. Good Idea? I am not too fond of the whole Amp/passive speakers think. Seems too complicated.

  3. What else would I need?

I have had bad experiences with the Eon’s distorting at high volumes… just sayin

I need something Cheap, Compact and powered. What do you guys recommend?

Would you guys recommend Peavey 215’s??

I’d suggest Phonic if you’re looking for good powered speakers that aren’t very expensive. I think they’re a very underappreciated brand. JBL & Mackie are going to cost you. You might get a good deal on Samson or EV (ElectroVoice); if so, I’d definitely grab it. You’re almost certainly going to have to buy used if you’re on a major budget. Craigslist Is Your Friend.

do you have any construction skillz? if so check out bill fitzmaurice…its the dj tech tools site for diy speakers. superior sound for a fraction of the cost.

I got a complete Peavey PA system myself.

A Peavey XTR-400B poweramp with two Peavey monitors. (Don’t know what type anymore, have to look for that one. :wink: )

But, it is great, I am even using it as a monitor system while performing gigs with my bands!
