Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Powered speakers for a small venue...

You need a sound system for a room which seats 150 people? Seriously? Well, I suppose for an acoustic guitar, vocals, and a couple other sources. But I've recorded concerts in rooms of up to 100 people where the only mics were for the recording. Heck, the jazz trumpet player Roger Ingram once asked me if I thought he needed a mic. I said no. This was in an auditorium seating 500-700 people. He sounded fine.

There's nothing wrong with Mackie, unless it doesn't do what you want to do. Yamaha and Allen & Heath both make small format mixers for under $500. Don't buy a 15" 2-way speaker - dispersion and sound quality issues. Get a 3-way 12" from Yamaha, Mackie, E-V, etc. Beringer is crap.
