What I think of my gear...
The F1 system is stellar for live sound use! I use two tops and two subs on my small/medium sizes shows and for tops and four subs on the larger shows I do. In a few words... clear, powerful and easy to transport.
I typically run either the Bose 620m or the JBL 712m monitors... depends on the type of group... the ones that have a lower stage volume get the Bose monitors and the louder group get the JBL monitors. I have some Carvin LM12 monitors as well if I need a few more (in the louder category).
The Bose monitors are the clearest and for most groups plenty loud enough...
The JBL monitors are very loud and overall have a good sound.
The Carvins are OK... that’s what I started with and they keep on going...
They are all very portable.
Monitor amps-
I chose to go with the QSC PLd 4.2 amps which work fantastic on monitor duty! Light weight and great features. I really like the RMS limiter.
When I first started running live sound professionally I bought a couple four channel Carvin amps, they worked good for a couple years and then I started having issues. The PLD 4.2 amps were a nice upgrade.
Mixers/Controllers
I started out analog on a Yamaha MG32 and very little rack gear... worked my way up to a Presonus 24.4.2. Now I run the RM series... all have been good, but what a am running currently is by far the best! Tons of flexibility, sounds awesome and very portable.
Huge fan of Shure mics in general (just not the SM58 & KSM8)... they give me the sound I want/need. I have used lots of other brands, but they just can’t do the job my Shure mics do naturally.
I own a mobile sound company... so everything needs to be small, light and effective. Our set-up embodies these three.
