Powered speakers-What are yours?

[ppentertainments]

I have
2 x rcf 712
2 x rcf 715
2 x db 605
2 x rcf 905a
2 x Bose L1 model 2 with b2 subs

The op asked for opinions, not for a list

[soundscapes]

Interesting. On paper they're very impressive. I'd like to compare them to my Proels, as my Alto TS210s are very unimpressive. That story is told elsewhere

We will have to arrange a side by side comparison, I'm interested to hear the proels too

Yes but i only really use my Bose speakers really

Nice to have that selection for different applications.
Would be totally wasted on me as i only do function rooms in hotels with less than 100 people.

I do want a line array for background though - Bose Compact.

For medium sized venues:
x2 RCF 710A + RCF 705AS

If it's small I'll use a cheap qtx 15" sub

Both setups sound good, I cannot say I've heard better of similar size weight and price.

Large venues I have 2x Mackie SRM450mk1, 2x RCF710A 2x QTX 12" and I hire an extra RCF705as to make it 4 subs in total. This setup sounds okay but nowhere near as good as my medium and small setups.

RCF310A = Excellent. Lightweight and sound better than line array systems I've heard (bose & evox) IMO.

I have an Evox 8 and a pair of Maui 5’s. Both are lightweight and quick and easy to set-up.

At the moment the Muai’s are going out more than the Evox due to the size and nature of my bookings.

[TONYTIGER]

For small gigs i use a pair of qsc k 10 for larger jobs a pair of Yamaha DXR 15 and for weddings i have a FBT vertus system in white ,i also have a pair of Logic 18 powered subs which i team up with the Yamaha's.

I've not been impressed with line arrays for background use - they are either too bassy with the sub, or if you knock out the bass, too toppy.

Normal 10" speakers have much better mids than line arrays.

How so? I've not listened to the Muai's, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Neither have I, but when I've heard the Maui 5 it's impressed me immensely. Someone here who has used a pair is very pleased with them, particularly portability, but reckons they could run out of steam around a hundred people.
For anyone with upstairs gigs for seventy five people or less, they're ( apparently ) ideal.

Peter - yes they are.

Benny - a lot of my bookings are for weddings with around 60 - 70 guests in small venues in Central London - the Maui 5’s are perfect for this, tiny footprint, plenty loud and bassy enough and a very easy load in/out. So far they’ve also coped with a charity event for 100 older guests and an outside afternoon birthday party. Haven’t had any recently but the next sound limited venue will have a visit and a quick sound test and if the Maui sets it off then there’s no point in taking anything bigger regardless of the number of guests.

I do want a line array for background though - Bose Compact.

Toby - Check out a Maui 5 first.
