    Digital Mixers

    Ok. Who all has dumped their outdated analog mixer and gone digital? My FOH mixer has been changed to a Yamaha TF5. My karaoke mixer to a Behringer x18. My small event mixer to a Behringer x-air. I have them all in place but due to learning curve I'm not using them yet.

    Weddings Wedding Mess. 2nd Party Booking

    I decided to not take on the event. It's too much of an issue to risk my companies reputation, for half of what I am normally paid.

    What happened to OKJT ?

    As someone that runs karaoke I agree, I stay away from karaoke forums. KJ's are nuts.

    New Gear Arrived

    I like the board but I have the same complaint with most boards on the market. The connections are on the top of the mixer instead of the back. Fine for a perm install but as a mobile you must disconnect the mixer every time you need to go somewhere.

    Looking to purchase an additional sound system for school dances (200-500 students)

    Honestly for 250 to 500 person school events I run 2 - JBL SRX722 and 2 JBL SRX728S. (Mainly because it is the rig I have access to rent)You would need 10 K-12s to fill a room for a 500 kid school dance. If I was going to buy a system I would buy an EV QRx 212 and EV QRx 218s. There is a local...

    Need help choosing a speaker...

    I totally disagree with Yorkville NX55p's they are really junky speakers. Just have terrible sound, lack level and go into limit super easy. I had a pair and hands down the EV Live X will blow them away.

    Best multi-purpose software audio,video & karaoke?

    Starting 2011 I switched to full time video. I play nothing but videos when DJing in bars and have everything hard wired at the bars. I use Virtual DJ to play videos and Karma to host karaoke. It's very simple. You can easily turn off the video source on virtual DJ and the video from karma...

    Need help choosing a speaker...

    I have 3 systems: Powered - EV Live X 12"s with a 18" sub. A Turbosound Passive with 12" tops and 18" subs, and a JBL Jrx Dual 15"s, Eon Passive 15" monitors and 18" subs. They all serve their purpose. The EV the easiest to use. The Turbosound's definatly sound the best and The JBL's I don't...

    1 DJ operations what do you do.

    I have a network of guys in my phone. My wife can DJ any event also if needed. If that was the case I would just have someone carry gear for her and MC the event.

    18" Sub Preference (Mackie, EV, or other)

    Thanks for the explanation. Maybe we can get Ben to chime in and give a comparative explanation with some more technical info. I did en event this year that a pro-sound company was brought in and they used a very nice EAW line array for a ballroom. It was a fantastic setup, the sound was...

    18" Sub Preference (Mackie, EV, or other)

    I don't want to be rude just ask question. Do you really need more 18"s? You system is very old school and yes appearance is big (I'm sure that is a selling point). Wouldn't it be more beneficial to upgrade to a more powerful system with a smaller foot print? You can move to a nice line array...

    18" Sub Preference (Mackie, EV, or other)

    I have used just about every powered 18" sub on the market. The QSC KW181 outperforms them all. Then I would put the QSC HPR 181. The Yorkville LS800p I find to be just as good as the QSC's but only a 2 year warranty and they seem to break. I have a broken LS720. Then I would put the EX...

    Amplifire Hook Up

    Some people come to us looking for the cheap mentality. If I wanted to really tell the guy about his system I would talk to him about how much he is under powering his speakers. I answered the question of how it could be done, with existing components. You catch more bees with honey. Guy...

    Amplifire Hook Up

    I answered what the guy can and can not do. While I don't recommend doing as suggested, I provided an option. I also provided a better solution. The amount of signal loss by daisy chaining amplifiers will be considerably minimal. I invite anyone at any given time to come to Pittsburgh, PA and...
