I don't really know much about P.A.'s.. so I'm asking if this 120w would be fine for JUST vocals, for practicing in a basement that has drums/guitars/bass?

Should be ok for just practice.

I just got 2 2X15" Kustom PA cabinets and a gemsound amplifier to use with my mixer. Each speaker cab. was $199 and the amp was $99... I gotta say for ~$500 it sounds really damn good. I wasn't expecting too much out of it... but it surprised me. I recomend them to anyone who is looking into buying speaker cabinets.
Here's a pic of them

Those look awesome. How powerful are the horns?

My band uses an old Peavey 600 watt powered mixer for practices. The power amp portion of it is pretty much dying on us completely. Is it possible to hook up a higher wattage external Peavey power amp to the 600 watt powered mixer, to provide us with power?

hey guys i was looking at ebay and found this deal!

yes run the power amp out of the line out of the mixer...

How can I maximize the amount of sound a PA produces? The PA my band uses is never loud enough to hear the vocals very clearly, even with amps on low volumes and no drums. Vocals are the only thing we are running through the PA. We have two speakers similar to these. [url]http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Live/Sound/Speakers?sku=601389[/url]
I know those speakers could get pretty loud. We try to turn the mic volume up as much as possible until it starts feeding, but the vocals never seem to cut through. What could be the problem?

what kind of mixer or powered mixer or power amp do you have?!

I do not know the specific brand of the mixer, but I will find that out later. It looks very similar to this and may even be it: [url]http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Live/Sound/Mixers?sku=634246[/url]

okie dokie...
I want to run a bass guitar and vocals through a PA. We will proboably only need it for practice/rehearsals.
Which one, if any, would be good.

Good Deal??
 

Hey, not too long ago my band bought a PA system with a couple speakers and mic for $200, apparently it was much more expensive but we bought it used from some friends. I was just wondering whether or not it was a good deal.. taking into consideration that we just want something basic as were not the most professional band..

We got:
[URL="http://www.music123.com/Kustom-KPM7250-i316667.music"]Kustom Model KPM7250 (200 Watt)[/URL]
[URL="http://www.piedog.com/musical_instruments/live_sound/kustom-kse12.htm"]2 Kustom KSE12 Speakers[/URL]
1 Basic Shure SM58 Mic

So did we get a good deal for 200$? Would we need to upgrade if we were more serious? If we were to play a small show? Recording? Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

$200 sounds like a pretty good deal for me. Considering that the gear is in good condition.

The Shure SM58s are great vocal mics, the industry standard actually.
And although Kustom PA gear is far from great quality. I don't think you can complain much for just $200.

That PA would be perfect for practising and good for running vocals through at small gigs.

Youll need somthing bigger then that... A bass amp by its self should be at least 100watts for band then you want somthing about 200 watts for vocals... look around 400 watts to be on the safe side..... STAY AWAY FROM BEHRINGER POWERED MIXING DESKS they sound and look good but lack power

Well can you maybe suggest me something in my price range?

Thx for the comment.. what about if we were to start recording.. what would the best way be? Would the PA do the job

Anyone? Anything..
 

I like how this thread just stops when I ask a question..:confused: :angry:

The thread was never fast moving anyway..

The simplest way to record is just a line out from a mixer into a computers own soundcard.

For this purpose I would probably recomend just a stand alone mixer.
With enough channels to be able to handle everything you want it to.

If the powered mixer you're looking at has a line out maybe you could use that to record from. But it's not the most ideal thing, as the powered mixer has big speakers that make lots of noise attached to it. Which could cause problems with feedback, that you just don't need while recording.
