[Advice On Wireless Microphones For Karaoke Gigging?]

Sorry for the late reply .... Yes I do use them, I used them when I was abroad and sold my equipment to return to UK. I have recently bought new equipment and bought the KAM1940's as my wireless mic's and a Shure wired mic as a back-up. I played a karaoke gig on Saturday night and the sound was brilliant. I am a resident DJ/KJ so the landlord holds any licences required.

[Stage Monitor]

Hi,

Help please if you can, I am new ....I had my first gig on Saturday and it was fantastic, standing room only and they were dancing on the chairs. I am thinking of getting a stage monitor to put behind me whilst performing, I am using a Behringer PMP4000 powered mixer and running 2 x Behringer 212 passive speakers from it, I have a couple of questions...

1. Can I just use one monitor or do I need to get 2 to equalise the power going out of the mixer?

2. How do I connect a monitor to the mixer, do I just use a separate cable directly into the mixer or do I need to connect it via the speakers?

 

Any help would be most appreciated .... I bow to your wisdom :nbow:

Hi Jonboy84

 

I use Kam 1940 mics, they have always proved to be reliable and sound good, not too expensive, check these out :hphone:

Thanks McCardle, I knew I could count on you :dukesy:

 

Yes they look like they would do the job, the one I had was more like this

Oh Wise Ones .... Can you advise please ... go steady on me - I'm a girl :hide:

 

I had a set-up a while ago whilst living abroad and stupidly sold it as I moved back to UK. I am in the process of buying another set-up for karaokeing. I remember having a sort of 'gaming' multi connection thingy, it had various wires, I think it had 2 VGA's (computer 15 pin connection), some white and yellow RCA's (that I connected to the TV's), the whole thing looked a bit like a computer mouse with all these little wires coming out of it. I think it's real purpose was for connecting gaming consoles etc. I used to use it to connect up various tv's to my laptop.

 

My question is ... does anyone know what these are called? Or do you know of something similar that I can use to connect 2 tv's to my lap top? :flirt:

[Need A Powered Mixer]

Thanks McCardle, you have been very helpful, I have taken a quick look at the ones you have suggested and have found a Soundcraft one which looks reasonable. Many thanks for taking the time to reply :) Happy New Year x

[Need A Powered Mixer]

Hi, I had a pair of Behringer B212XL Eurolive 800W 2 Way PA Speakers whist working in Spain and found they were more than capable whilst working in the bars out there. I also had a Soundlab 742ba powered mixer which did the job OK. I sold all my equipment when I returned to UK and wish I hadn't!! So much so I have just purchased another pair of Behringer B212XL Eurolive 800W 2 Way PA Speakers and would like some advice on which Powered Mixer to look at, I prefer a flat bed one which narrows it down a bit.

I was looking at the Behringer range but it has had some really bad reviews. My budget is quite low (under £300).

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
