Wedding speeches, speaker location

I just really can't see that that a 15" would sound that much different than a 12"! I'll have to try and get a side by side demo.

It is just my opinion Darren, but I remember having to put a lot of bass and knock back some of the treble on the 12inch to get a nice sound. With the 15inch, I just run it flat, and it sounds very good.

Not a biased question at all

I can't fault the speaker either. For the money it is very good. Although I am glad I returned the 12 inch and purchased the 15 inch. I did notice a big difference in sound quality.

Without any doubt, I did hear a big difference between the two.

I have no personal experience of any of the speakers mentioned, but I will say that in my experience, if the predominant use is to be speech, then the choice should be 12" ( or even 10" ). If it's music, then it's 15"(, or 12" with subs.Not likely just to provide a spot of background during a meal ) The trickiest part is working out what your main use is.

Mike, I wonder if you're listening to your background music with "DJ Ears", by which I mean you're imagining it was going to be a full on disco, rather than a spot of Muzak? Just a thought.

Re VHF mics and dropout, when I had a VHF mic, reception was unpredictable. It would get a signal through stone walls from three rooms away without any problem whatsoever, and then drop out in line of sight from twenty yards away. Like I said, unpredictable.

My experience with the VHF mics packaged with the QTX P.A. has been good to be honest. With aerials up, I probably got around 40 feet away before I had a drop out or bit of interference. The quality for a cheap plastic might is also surprisingly good and this comes from someone who has always used £500+ Shure SM58 radio mics.

I recently took the P.A. on tour to Holland, initially to do a quiz night for a footy tour, but the coaches P.A. was crap, so we used it on the coach and it was great.

Peter, I think not The first time I tested the 12inch was in the house, but remember thinking it was very much high end, so as I have said I had to put a fair bit of bass on, so if that was the case in my house, then in a function room situation, I would have thought it would have been even more trebly.
As I have said before it is really just my opinion, and I am by no means an expert. But will say I am very happy with the 15inch one.

I am with you on that Darren, the quality (for the price) of the mics is very good.
