stardust 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I have beed doing quite a few kids parties recently and getting fed up carrying my massive speakers to the gigs , does anyone have any advice on a set of small speakers which would suit smallish halls for kids parties. I was hoping to find something for no more than £160 for the pair? Cheers Steve oohh Link to post Share on other sites
supersound dj 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Try the Prosound 12" from Maplins a good amp to compliment this is the peavey xr800 mixeramp. Link to post Share on other sites
TonyB 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Lean Business has a few of the Celstion QXi 012 left. Have a wider frequency response than the Pro sound (go down to 50hz whereas the Pro Sounds go down to 60hz) Also a slightly better SPL (96db compared to Prosound 95db) plus they are a bit cheaper at £180. On the down side, Celestions are 300w and Prosound are 400w and as they don't say its RMS, I would assume that they are quoting max power so RMS will be about half. http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/index...p;products_id=9 Link to post Share on other sites
BK Sound 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'd spend the budget on one better speaker, do kids appreciate stereo anyway? (stealing & modifying this question from the Martin Audio thread)...then i'd use it as a monitor on bigger gigs. Sound - 32 Channel System, 2 x RCF 4Pro 6001 & 4 x RCF TTS18A Subs - 6K RMS Active System Lights - 4 x Martin Mac 250+, 4 x Assorted LED FX, 6 x 1m LED Pixelpar, 2 x 1500 W Strobes, PC Control Video - 6x4 to 14x10 ft screens & assorted projectors, plasmas, 10 DV Layers, broadcast cameras.

Reverandfunk 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Or just carry on using your big speakers and save 300 quid lol Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Catchers 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 And get your roadie to carry them. :joe: Jim Link to post Share on other sites
Reverandfunk 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Personally speaking to me a speaker is a speaker and Ive still got to carry it so size doesn't come into it for me lol Link to post Share on other sites
Dukesy 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I reckon the EVsx300s are brilliant for their size and are not too heavy. Have a look on Ebay. There may be some second hand which would be worth the investment. Or you could buy some cheap speakers and replace the drivers I suppose? What about those systems with the 2 smaller satalite speakers and subwoofer? Anybody use those? Link to post Share on other sites
