Members pyper Posted June 1, 2018 Members Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm getting my first synth soon. I've decided on a Moog Subsequent 37. I need some form of amplification so I can hear it. I don't intend on playing gigs with it. Part of the reason for going with the Moog is because of the bass, so I want something with a good low end. Not sure if I should get an amp or powered speakers or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ggm1960 Posted June 1, 2018 Members Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'd Probably go with a 15" powered speaker given your description. JBL, Behringer and a number of others make them. I wouldn't propose to argue which is best because in the modern world you can get some pretty good sound at a fairly low price. A floor monitor style might be right for you.

Members kbeaumont Posted June 1, 2018 Members Share Posted June 1, 2018 Ditto, I would go with a 12 or 15 inch powered speaker. A Mackie Thump would probably sound very good. You just need something with power and a full range speaker with a good bass response. You might also want to put a small mixer or Di between the two. A small mixer would allow you to add anything else you decide to add to the sound and take your unbalanced 1/4' output from the moog to xlr on the speaker. It would also give you more control over gain, eq and post effects like reverb or compression. Something like a yamaha MG06X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pyper Posted June 1, 2018 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2018 Cool. I see I can get a Mackie TH15 used for about us$200. I already have an 8 channel mixer with built in reverb and aux sends and also a Klark-Teknik DN410 parametric EQ. Oh, and a compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pyper Posted June 1, 2018 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks for the help! I just ordered the Moog and the Mackie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Outkaster Posted June 5, 2018 Members Share Posted June 5, 2018 Get your self a QCS powered speaker. It has been easily the best thing I have purchased and a lot better than lugging an amp around. It's worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
