I'm pretty sure that you guys know by now but we've been going for about 2 years. Pub rock and indie covers. Using an old vocal PA - peavey XR 684F 400w amp, two passive old lumpy speakers, a powered monitor and slave. Seems fine - loud enough etc.
We have two weddings to do this year. I think we are a good band and I'd like to move us into private parties n stuff as well as playing pubs. The weddings that we have are sort of 50-75 people affairs so the rooms are going to be big enough to accommodate that many sitting down - so at least twice the size of a pub that we usually play.
I think (suspect) that we need a bigger PA system to mike up the band properly - so 4 vocal mikes, 2 guitars, bass, drums. We could hire a PA and sound guy or we could look for a second hand system.
I guess if we are doing parties and the like to see us doing 50-100 odd people halls - so church hall size etc which I guess is a "medium size" venue ???
What do we need in broad terms? How many watts. How many input channels? What is it going to cost s/h do we recon?
