Hello thread. I'd like to get a setup for small gigs. The immediate goal is to have an indoor PA setup for basic DJ functions, e.g. playlists at a wedding straight from a laptop. I'll also need parts for a microphone, both for basic announcements and to mic up a singular guitar player. What experience I have tells me I need roughly the following: Shure SM 58 or equivalent Simple 1x2 DI box with USB 2.0 A pair of speakers Mic stand 3 25ft 1/4 line cables Xlr cable Some sort of solution for outputting stereo to the speakers Intuition tells me that I probably don’t need much more than 12” speakers, and my stereo output and DI box solution are probably a 2 birds with one stone problem with like a scarlet io2 or something. Anything I’m missing? Should I invest in somethingly nicer? Any nice to haves for basic sound gigs like this I should consider?

Never used an analog mixer like that. The price is perfect too. Even the mackie speakers you listed are hideously expensive. Would you say that having 1000+ watt speakers are really essential even for smaller < 200 gigs like what you’re saying? E: a cursory look on cL shows used 600 for a pair which is much more reasonable. Guess I’ll nut up for the sake of having gear that’s durable and flexible. its curtains for Kevin fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Oct 12, 2017 |

You have a preferred playlist you run them through to test range? And I’m unfamiliar with the word crossover, what is that?

Trip report: gig went great, had people coming up to me and saying that they were glad their wife wasn’t there or she would wish they had live music at THEIR wedding. Pro fx box and a pair of the mackies were perfect. Thanks for the advice 🙏

A preamp is pretty unavoidable. A small mic is pretty doable though.
