Gruff 0 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi There, I'm a new member to the DJ Forum. I work out of South Wales doing mostly Karaoke, however I'm getting a lot of requests recently for Karaoke / Disco shows (I've even been asked to do a Karaoke / Disco / solo artist spot as well, as I'm a bit of a singer). Joined this site to get info on the DJ side. I'm also looking to renew my equipment with a view to reduce it's size and weight. I Currently have a Arcam 1200W amp (OTT for my speakers and I've blown three drivers in the past 18 months http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/oops.gif ), A peavey 8 channel mixer, A Peavey effects box, A Lem Base Bin (heavy and big) and Two Lem 10" speakers 150W. (heavy but small) Add in my two Karaoke players, one used for background music, Portable TV and stand, Lights and T-stand and I have My hands full! I'd appreciate any feedback, I've seen the Behringher PMH880M powered mixer with effects, that looks pretty good value and only weighs in at 9.4Kg and would replace three pieces of kit. Does anyone know if they are any good? Also can anyone suggest a good compact 10" or 12" passive speaker. Thanks http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/thanks.gif gareth Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't been able to give it any stick yet, but after new Year I'll be writing a review of it. Quitting Smoking & Drinking doesn't make you live longer It just feels like it.

adymartin 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'm a bit late here, but in reference to the guy who asks if LEM D400's are any good. I say yeah. if you can get 'em for 310 quid, I say hell yeah!! w've got a set we use for doing gigs with and they give us great performance. even in some big old rooms they can pack a real punch when you need it. www.ladyfoxentertainments.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
