I guess this could've gone in the gear section too but I'm looking for a powered wedge type of monitor for my karaoke singers. This does NOT have to be super duper awesome top of the line quality but I'm having a problem finding choices. Because of the tight spot that I have to set up in, I really need a wedge type of monitor, not just a speaker that can be tilted back. (like the behringer 300's)
 
Or the SRM-150

Before I bought my Bose L1, I used a Kustom KSC12M. I was singing with bands at the time that I bought it, but it did the job for my karaoke shows, too. And it's very reasonable (~$100 US)

Kayleigh...is it powered? I'm guessing for $100 it's not...I need powered.

I did find this Behringer and it's powered...I'm trying to get a price on it...

Ok, I'm gonna get stomped for this, and I don't blame you. I didn't believe it myself until I tried it.


Limited room: a 10" EV 300 watt ( can't remember the model number- it's in the shed). Crisp and clear, non-wedge but so small it doesn't matter. A coupla hundred. Works great! Hard to believe, but true....

BTW- You DID say STAGE monitor. As in- for use on a stage.. I generally don't use monitors in a standard venue as speaker set-up usually precludes it's use. I DO use it on a stage.....

Sorry...Joe...there really is no stage. I'm looking for a simple wedge type of monitor so the singers can hear themselves. The wedge design has a low profile which is what I need cuz it's very cramped where I have to set up!

Get this...the Behringer speaker that I posted earlier? It doesn't exist!!!! WTF? I'm still trying to figure out if it's GOING to exist or what but why the heck do you post pics/info on an item that you have no plans on producing?

Joe...you got my pm right?
 
Hi,

Powered Monitors:

Electro Voice - SxA100+ or SxA250 - Not small but very good sound
Galaxy Audio - Hot Spot Powered Version - Extremely small and good power
Anchor Audio - Unsure of models but they make a bunch of full feature small boxes.

Hope this helps

Matt

Got the PM. Reply sent. I also missed the "powered" part, though I don't know why it's neccesary, as it adds size to the speaker. I would still choose Electro-voice (EV), but the powered version shown above.

First though, a question. Could you possibly be able to set up the speakers on sticks DIAGONALLY across the room? One to the far side of you, and the other diagonally across? If so, the audience gets full sound, while you and the singer get the monitor effect from the facing speaker....
 
Dawg,

I know it's not powered, but back in the day I used an EV Sx80 as a FOH monitor. It's small, compact, and the 8" driver out-peforms a lot of 12"ers I've heard. Pair it up with a small amp like a QSC RMX850 or a Crown XLS202 and you're in business. Would take one of these over a Behringer any day. Plus, with a second speaker, you could have a small ceremony setup.

Also, take a look at this.

Good Luck,
Chris
