Our band has used a pair of PRX635s and a single PRX618XLF at our gigs (different sized clubs ranging from small to pretty large ,100 people to around 300 people). We are commonly too loud at some of the smaller venues so I decided to purchase some PRX712s to use as mains in place of the 635s at smaller venues and then they could be used as monitors at our larger places. Used the 712s with our sub, and they sounded great til right at the end of the night one started rattling bad. They would occasionally bump the clip light but never offered to shut off or the light come on much. I am in the process of getting it replaced. I think it was simply a factory defect. The real puzzling issue is that the sub actually was clipping at what I would consider a very low level, and actually did shut down a time or two. The very next night we went back to our 635s and the sub had no issues. Am I going to have to do something different when I pair the 712s as mains with the 618 sub? Was it even a good idea to get the 712s for smaller venues? We did need some good monitors too, but these are fairly high end just to use as monitors for us and our usual venues. All help is appreciated. They did sound good and I feel like they kept us from being too loud at the small venue, but don't want them if gonna cause sub issues.
