Members RoadRanger Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thought yous guys would get a chuckle out of the system I used yesterday. MG82CX mixer into two Behringer B208D's placed behind the band. Two Nady SP1 mics "Y"d together on trombone and sax. Two SM58's "Y"d together on vocals. Two RadioShack $20 DI's on guitars: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062444 One of the guys had been plugging his passive pickup guitar into the line inputs of mixers and wondering why it sounded like arse . If I needed another mic or two I'd have moved the guitar with active electronics to the stereo "line input only" with a cheap Behringer preamp pedal (I have a BDI 21 but a ADI 21 would be the "proper" choice). I don't really need the EQ on the BDI/ADI for this application but I would if I used the stereo return for another channel - then I could get 8 mics and two instruments into this little 5 channel mixer .

Members RoadRanger Posted February 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 Nice and portable Ron!!!For those of us local to Ocean State Job Lot stores the B208D's fit well in the $3 green duffel bags they sell - then you can carry two in each hand . They'd probably make great monitors for one of my bigger systems too. BTW I got to compare them to some K8's and I thought they pretty much sounded the same at reasonable volumes.

Members jeff grocki Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 Never heard the k8's only the k10's and I own k12's. Just everyone says not great when you get into the limiter but bringing enough rig for the gig keeps us out of the limiter. I did a sweet 16 for about 50 kids last night in a small room with 2 k12's without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted February 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 The B208D's have a serious amount of non-defeatable dynamic low end EQ so the "limit" lights come on pretty early on full range music - but you can go quite a bit past that before they run out of gas in the 80Hz+ vocals and guitars range I'd guess. I had them set half way up and was barely flickering the -20 light on the mixer so wouldn't know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
