Dave80s 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi there, would anyone like to help me decide what powered speakers to buy - and I need to order them today if possible! The scenario is - I have taken a booking for this Friday and need a pair of speakers. I sold my old ones and had planned to look for some new ones in January. Hiring is not an option as I am going on holiday - straight from the gig, I couldn't let them down - the client I mean, not my family! I have got a sub so just need small tops. Options are: Mackie SRM450 at £750 a pair Mackie SRM350 V1 at £570 a pair (cheap as now discontinued) JBL Eon10 G2 at £499 a pair FBT Jolly 12 at £750 a pair Or any other recommendations that would be in stock and available to order today.

Raymilkybarkid 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I would go for JBL EON15 G2 but they are not on your list The mackie's are very good either the 350's or 450's Professional DJ Since 1983 - Having worked in Clubs, Pubs, Mobile and Radio in the UK and Europe 29 Years Experience and still learning.

Dave80s 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I went for the JBL's, the price difference was the deciding factor. The 10s should be plenty for my small gigs. I will report on them once I have used them. Dave. Link to post Share on other sites
Bouncy Dancefloor 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 i used to have a pair of 10's in my bedroom, they sound great, but lack volume Link to post Share on other sites
Dave80s 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yes, they sound good (at home), I am using them tonight for the 1st time. Silly question Bouncy, the manual says don't have the green light on at the back, is that right? They sound ok with it on. Link to post Share on other sites
Bouncy Dancefloor 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 if you mean the Mic/Line switch, then having the light on is poor working practice. Id recommend switching it off Link to post Share on other sites
Dave80s 0 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 My mistake, the green light turns red when it is peaking. I thought the green light on was a problem. I did the party and they were fine. Link to post Share on other sites
