Powered speakers for a small venue...

Posted by hapinoregon (A) on April 21, 2016 at 10:38:41

Is there an Asylum section for small, public, non-profit, music venues?

I'm looking specifically for advice, info, experiences regarding powered speakers.

I "work" for a small non-profit (www.pistolriver.com) that produces monthly concerts for a small slice of rural Oregon. We have access to a grange hall whose acoustics are phenomenal and seats 120-150 depending on configuration and mood of the fire marshall. Our acts are primarily folkish, Americana, bluegrass, etc. The stage can fit 5 performers comfortably. We've had 7. Once.

We are, slowly, entering the 21st century. Our next purchases, I hope, will be an iPod/Behringer XR18 X Air digital mixer to replace the old Mackie. I'm looking ahead thinking about new(er) speakers that will take advantage of and show off our new system. We've had 2 acts that use systems similar to what we want that sounded, with our old speakers, much better than the norm.

Any advice, warnings, anecdotes will be greatly appreciated.
