Thread Name: Small (portable?) PA Systems
Subject: RE: Small (portable?) PA Sytems
DWD, I just bought the new Bose system a few weeks ago, and I really like it. Eminently portable, 5-minute setup and breakdown.
Great sound. I perform in some larger venues, 500-600 people and on stage behind me, this fills the room.
I'm a solo with vocal mic and acoustic/electric guitar, and I found that I did not need the sub woofer.
I've used Bose speakers professionally for the last 30 years and I've found them completely reliable, hard-wearing and long lasting.
I also have a couple of pairs of the 402s which I love. I use them in venues where I have to play around corners - L-shaped rooms for instance..I have a pair I'm looking to sell and they might be ideal for your setup. I use a small Peavey powered mixer in the 600XRD model range to drive them. Again they are light, portable and powerful enough for most gigs outside of large concert venues.
If you PM me here, we could talk about it more.
All the best.
