Hi, tsingkaraoke. I also have a bose tower. Excellent choice. It is awsome. No you don't need a mixer if you don' t want to be bothered with one. Just plug your xlr mic's into the Bose and your computer directly into the Bose (get a y-adapter stereo mini male to mono male 1/4") the stereo mini goes into the computers line out or headphone out. And then use the remote control that came with your Bose to do the adjustments.

Or, you could do like I did and get a Sound Blaster Extigy. It is and external version of the Audigy. It is a 24 bit sound card as opposed to the 16 bit one built into the computer. The sound is better and the connection is USB! It works well with a notebook or a desktop. The sound is terrific. It is as good as any high end stereo. You obviously like good sound and so do I. Good luck. It is just like fronting a band.

we also you bose now but we us a mixer & a laptop with it
cause we use 4 wireless mics but that is up to you

Not to get off the original question, but I have been looking at the Bose PAS, can anyone give me your pros & cons to the system? Have heard it at 2 Guitar Centers, one sounded ok, the other not so good, since everyone likes the sound I have now, it's scary thinking of changing for the money. And - are you using 1 or 2 towers? I'd appreciate any input1

the only con that we have come across
is when you are in a small room and you have to put the singer right up on the tower you get some feed back

they say you should be at least 6 feet from them for best result
put some time that is not possible

there is a whole list of pros

I would strongly suggest a mixer a good one the Bose are nice
but a good eq is necessary for rooms that aren't so sound friendly

the vocal just jump out at you I have never had a speaker that the vocal were so strong on
go to bose.com and check out the forum for this product
there is a wealth of feed back from dj/kj there in there forum

Are you using 1 tower or 2, and 1 or 2 subs per tower?
Thanks

1 tower 2 subs

i would not use any thing less then 2 subs
the subs are nice but they still dont move the air like 2 15 drivers do

but i still would not go back to using reg speakers
the only time i would use my double 15 ev is for a large area or out side
where you needed a lot of hard base
but for karaoke i dont think you will find any thing better then the bose !!

and any thing eaiser to carry and to put up or take down
light very light

Thanks for the info, I'm also trying to downsize, I've switched to #*^@ DJ program and Hoster, which I just love. I am now "only" carrying 2 JBL 15's, Pioneer DJM500 mixer, Beringer mixer for mics and karaoke music both in SKB coffin, an SKB 12 rack case, 8 rack case, plus all the boxes & bags for books, chords, etc. (Used to carry 3 300 disc autio changers plus cd discs, forget that forever!) So the PAS sysyem was real appealing. I was wandering about the bass, and the outside scenario which you have answered, thanks.
