As that I'm new to the PA setup universe, though I've been pushing for better equipment in my band for years, I finally ponied up some dough over this past summer to invest and start a small soundbusiness with my drummer. This is a very budget system but it sounds pretty damned good. Not as good as the majority of what else I've read here, and boy, am I jealous. I'll start at FOH and work to the speakers as that's how i have it organized in my head. Mixer: Mackie 1604VLZ Pro, great deal on ebay, American made, solid as a rock, has never failed me Processors: Monster Power PRO 2500 Rack PowerCenter, great even power for the gear Behringer FBQ3102 Ultragraph PRO EQ Behringer MULTICOM PRO-XL MDX4600 Processor (handles main L&R, and monitor 1&2. I plan to get a second one to handle kick, snare and monitor 3 BBE 882i Sonic Maximizer I also plan on getting a rack mounting recording unit so i can provide audio of the performance to my clients Snake: 16x4x100' ProCo some dude stepped on it and broke 3 inputs plan on getting a 16x8x100' from an ebay store, dude has good deals [any suggestions on it being easier to fix the 16x4? though it'd be nice to have the extra returns for 4 monitor mixes] Crossover: Behringer CX3400 Super-X Pro Crossover not bad, not bad; but left High has some output issues, so the inputs on the power amp are not even, the left has to be higher to match levels; and i plan on replacing it with a dbx 234xl Power Amps: 3x Behringer EP 2500 one more coming for the last monitor channels Subs: 2x Behringer B1800x Professional 800w Mains: 2x Behringer B1520 Professional 400w Monitors 2x Behringer B1520 Professional 400wRMS for now, plan to get some Behringer P1220F wedges @ 80w RMS [musicians friend messed up our order so we wound up with another pair of B1520s for free] Mics: 8x SM57 [4 for drums, 4 for instrument] 3x SM58 [all vocals] 1x Beta52 [kick] 2x PG82 [overheads] Cables: 20x 20' Audio Technica Microphone Cables [good deal i found on ebay] 4x 50' speakon to speakon, generic, good deal on ebay, no issues yet! 4x20' random microphone cables that came with some of the SM57's Racks: Power amp Rack: Generic 10 space FOH: SKB Mini Gig Rig + Gig Roller I've used it a few times and have gotten some great great sounds out of it, and everyone has always been very pleased with the sound and the setup, very impressed and clear.
