moose Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 ok...so ive kinda looked...nothin really in depth, i figured someone here could help me out.....a friend of mine owns a bar....and when he bought it from the previous owner still had all the audio/video in it...and it consists of 8 15's that are in great shape...the amps that are in great shape...but then he has one of the huge multi band mixer/equalizers....just wondering....does anyone know where you can buy the equalizers/mixers or whatever you call them like that??

audiofanaticz Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) eq and mixer are too different things. A eq equalizes the audio levels. the higher band count the more precise sound you can get. A mixer is made for fading 2+ audio signals together with the ability to adjust each audio signals volume and fade song to song etc. You can buy both at Pro Sound and Stage lighting. I delt with them alot when i was younger messing with home audio and special effect lighting. www.pssl.com Also Another good brand I really liked was carvin, There prices are cheaper on most things then your standard brand name audio gear, but the quality is top notch. http://www.carvinguitars.com/proaudio.php Otherwise as far as mixers. Stay away from gemini, stanton but behringer and numark is a tad better, but the cheapest Id personally go would be american dj or american audio whatever they call themselfs now, just for reliabilty reasons. Otherwise you got denon, rane, and pioneer that make some kick ass mixers as well as a few others but been outta the game for a while. You can get a basic mixer around 150$ or even spend upwards of 1500, it depends on the features needed for the application. Some mixers also have built in EQs too, but there only 7-11 band eqs, where as a rack mount eq is usally 15-30bands per channel for something decent.

audiofanaticz Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 also, make sure to check the input/output size on the current eq if he is getting a new one or watever. I know alot of pa stereos are 1/4 inch plugs I wanna say for your amp signal cables, but then you look at some mixers/eq's and they are only rca outputs/inputs, sometimes they have both for inputs/outputs. But make sure to check what the current setup is and what he orders, if needed adapter cables can be bought to go from 1 style to the other, or be made simple enough too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickyMcD Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 G'day bloke, Could you please grab me a photo of the mixing console to aid in identification and possibly I can assist you in what may be a good replacement. If the console only has 1/4" inputs and outputs, it is worth replacing anyway as no man, women, dog or assorted sex mammal/reptile will touch the thing with a barge pole.

Cheers, Mick Quoted for truth. XLR is where it's at. Most modern gear is going to have XLR.
