Members Stingray5 Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 Just wandering I was almost in this predicament this past sat. I thought one of my speakers blew, thank goodness it wasn't, anyway say you put a yamaha pw. speaker on one side of the stage and say a JBL G2 on the other side both have 15 inch speaker and both are pw. 400watts would there be any noticeable problems? Thanks Denny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Square Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 Different boxes generally sound different, even when they are from the same manufacturer. In your above situation where you have 2 boxes, and 1 is on each side, if you had a separate EQ for each, you could use the EQ to help get them closer and EQ each box individually for the room. In regards to them being powered (I assume that is what you meant in your post), again, one company A's 400 watts probably wouldn't be quite equal to another company B's 400 watts, but that would be far less noticable than the actual sound of the speakers themselves. Mixing amps is significantly easier than mixing boxes. I don't recommend mixing boxes on the same frequency band, if you can avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 Ifthe choice is no sound on one side versus some mismatched sound on one side I think the answer is pretty obvious;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
