Hi Guys,

I am really hoping someone can help here. Its probably simple but my poor old brain is not working right.

I have just started a residency at a pretty big event venue (600/800...

well, 4 gigs in and one speaker blew. It was not even clipping and not even close to peaking on the mixer. So basically I bought cheapish and its bitten me on the arse.

I am thinking of getting...

So after much deliberation and research I decided to go with the alto ts115a speakers. They sound pretty decent when set up right with a decent eq, clip light does flick a bit when you try to push...

Thanks for all the advice guys, appreciated.

I have been looking around and listening to some speakers to see what is best.

Obviously the Mackie Thumps (TH12A) had a real nice punchy sound and...

I was about to buy rubbish actives, looked good on paper but thanks to the knowledge of people on here. I was swayed away and guided on the right path.

Knowledge is power and thats why i joined...

Yes, I have purcahsed rubbish. Lights that look great until 30 minutes in and they blow a fuse. I have had an almost new amp that again fired up and sounded awesome in a dining room but on the road...

I am looking into new speakers, what do you think of them. have you used them on thier own yet and what they like?

I think with sound gear, its always better buying new. I don't have a problem with that, after all its an investment.

Right another question...

Looks like I am going to go with the mackie...

I agree on the three hour rule when it comes to teen parties. For younger ones I will only do 2 hour parties.

I also agree, i would rather do teen parties any day of the week rather than adult...

I do a lot of kids parties of all ages, I tend to find the teenage ones are the hard ones to get right as there is such difference in clultures and groups.

I normally try and get as much...

Its perfect and I was shocked at how good quality it was.

Here is a picture of...

Thanks guys..

Thanks for all your advice, seriously its been a godsend.

I think I am going to have to save some cash and buy some mackies, seems like they are the best for what I need and if I need more...

I live in Newcastle upon Tyne, not staffs. So a round trip to derbyshire would take around 5 hours, so thats a no no.

Seems like Mackies are the way forward, worried about the size though. I...

Cheers for that, I live in Newcastle upon Tyne, not Staffs unfortunalty. So would be a 5 hour round trip easy.

Looks like I will have to save up for some decent speakers then, if i am looking at...

Hi,

Yes a little farto collect and to be honest, I dont want to spending nearly £500 on second hand speakers. Done it before and twice been burned..

Hi,

Maybe some of you experts can help me a little here. I am upgrading my sound as I am carrying two sets of speakers, 1 amp and 1 mixer amp to my medium sized gigs (150ish), its a lot.

Thank you so much. I wish i had the sense to post the question before i purchased the wrong thing.

thanks for your help, i have ordered one of the obey 40 controllers.

Thats me totally lost now.. lol

I have looked at 192 dmx controllers, how easy is it to set them up for colour mixing, thats going to be the work horse so to speak, as mood lighting in venues and...

Damn! I had a feeling it would not be as easy as I hoped.

thanks again guys...

Thanks :beer1:

Hi,

This forum has proved invaluable in the past, always seem to find an answer to a question already posted. However this time I am lost, frustrated and losing hair by the second.
