Members t_guns Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 I have amassed a PA system from various items from Criagslist. I've been in a lot of "right place at the right time" kinda deals (just scored a PAIR of Yamaha SW118Vs for $250). I was thinking about trying out the DJ-ing thing. I might have a chance to try out my lack of skills, but have no clue what I am doing. Here's the scoop; my sister-in-law is getting married and I could possibly run the sound and save her some cash (wedding gift from me). Here's what I have available: This is mainly intended for a band PA by the way (although we have been on hiatus before I got alot of this).4 - Yahama S115Vs powered by 1 QSC RMX24501 - Yamaha SW218V powered by 1 QSC RMX1450 (bridged)2 - Yamaha SW118Vs powered by 1 QSC RMX1450 (bridged) I have the following in an 18 space rack:Furman Power conditionerAlesis 3630Lexicon MX200TC Electronics M300dbx 231 dbx 166xlBBE 882idbx 234xl(all the amps) Finally, I have a 10 space rack with:Furman Power ConditionerSony Cassette DeckKaraoke DVD CDG PlayerStanton CD Player For a mixer I have a 24 channel Carvin. For tunes I run an iPod into the mixer (will make wedding playlist).Vocals (or cheesey DJ voice) is Shure mic The only thing I have for lighting is some cheap cans with colored inserts. I know my equipment isn't the best, but for the price it was good enough for me. Do you have any advice on what else I might need to pull this off? It will probably be 50ish people.

If that's the case, are you trying to fry the power amp running them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members clayface74 Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 DJing? @ yamaha tops on sticks, lights, DI box for the ipod to board, stanton cd player ....cdg/dvd should also play cd's.. Loads of CD's for all the request. Go to mobilebeat.com and do a cram session to get you going in the right direction. There is a lot that goes into it and I thought I would easily jump from cover band front man to local dj...not near as easy as one would think. Start storing up your patience now!!
