What size monitors do you recommend? ***update, I got them***


Recommended Posts

I swear by a&h. Amazing quality stuff. There's no way that is toyish compared to the Presonus!!! The berry yeah maybe. But not the a&h it's a whole different league!

Eh, people have their own opinions and choices, lol. We used an older model A&H Mixwizard for the mainstage at a gig this past weekend. Not a bad lil' board. I know A&H isn't toyish in itself, just the appearance turns me away. The Presonus has a nice user-friendly look, without looking too cheesy IMHO.

POTATO!

Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at.

I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k.

Since it's a bit later, you had them out yet? I heard a set of the Club series 15's at a festival in my grandfather's hometown, but I think the guy either 1. blew the horns or 2. couldn't EQ worth a shit, because it sounded horrible. Did you ever think about throwing in a dual 15 band EQ or something? Probably wouldn't hurt.

POTATO!

Hey man, I actually just got back from a small bar gig using this pa haha.

I have changed a few things which i havent updated on here, the effect unit has been removed as I added a slightly larger desk that has built in effects, okay they arent the best in the world but as a hire rig its more then enough.

In the two empty spaces that left me with i added a stereo 31band (has L+R input and output but only one set of 31 faders, which is applied to both sides) for FOH and under it i have a dual 15band eq for the monitors, this was after a few suggestions that it would be a nice thing to have.

I am very impressed with these, this gig i did tonight, i have been doing events in this bar for many many years and normally take a 15+horn each side, I took these smaller yammy speakers today and it sounded mint! i was running them pretty hard as they are half the power of the 15's i normally take but they did the job perfectly.

this was the last chance im going to have to get to use these for a wile as the next month at least is already fully booked :) i guess thats a good thing hah. Yeah, im looking at buying some of the double 15" club series mid/highs soon. I already have the JBL SRX's but want to give these a go, I am quickly having all my equipment booked so i really need to buy more anyway :) why hello there bank loan :L

Yammy's higher end stuff has usually been good. I listened to their DSR series at a local shop and they sounded nice, but holy f*** they were huge and heavy...

POTATO!

My thoughts exactly. For a permamount operation, they are alright. But for a mobile service or any other, I just can't see them being that great. I'll stick with the EV's and eventually either the PRX600/KW's. Lol

POTATO!
