Please reccomend Speaker/amp/mixer
I am getting ready to invest in speakers. I have hosted where they use the Peavey Pr12's. I have a Behringer mixer and have always just plugged straight into a clubs sound system. now I need to purchase speakers so I need a powered amp/mixer. Looking for something good, durable, light for me to haul and practicle economically if possible. Any good combo deals?

Re: Please reccomend Speaker/amp/mixer
I have a pair of Wharfedale Pro Titan 12 Active speakers for my shows. With these you do not need an amplifier and they only weigh 12.8 kg each.
Just plug your mixer in and your done. You can view the Spec. here: http://www.wharfedalepro.com/Home/Pr...1/Default.aspx

Re: Please reccomend Speaker/amp/mixer
Apparently your board is not powered, so i take it you already have a power amp correct? If that's the case, i wouldn't spend the extra for powered speakers, i'd use what i have and add passives. Let us know for sure. Also, there are a lot of good speaker cabs, both powered & passive that use "Neodymium" speakers, so you don't have to be limited to 12" because of weight. So you have many more options today then you did just a few years ago. I use 15" Carvin Cabs, loaded with Eminience 15" kappalites. They will blow anything in their class away, weight, less then 14 pounds each.

Re: Please reccomend Speaker/amp/mixer
oops...see all you have is a non powered mixer...sorry 'bout that. Not sure how big of a club you're doing. But i'd try these, light, great reviews, and great customer service. Which is so important.
http://www.carvinguitars.com/product...?product=LM12A I current run 4 front of house speakers. 2 Carvin LM15 two ways, and 2 LM153 three ways. I traded out the standard neo's, and loaded mine with 15" kappalites. The stock speakers are also good in these. They are built by B&C a top shelf italian speaker manufacture. I just happen to prefer a cast fram transducer is all, like the kappalites. Good Luck. George |

Re: Please reccomend Speaker/amp/mixer
Roy, glad to see someone else likes Wharfedale products. I am currently using their EVP series monitors. They do work dandy. These were on sale, i was kinda skeptical on buying them at first. But the guy says use, don't like'em return'em. So i gave them a shot. I'm inpressed. I like them better then my old Peavey monitors.

Anyway this thread was started last April and I was the only one who responded then, never heard any more from Trelynda who started it so I suppose they got sorted by now.
