This is a note to all the Newbies looking to get started in "the business"
PAY attention to what the experienced KJ's and Audio Techs
here have to say..... (Lonman/Sammy/Brian etc. )

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR .....

Becuase of problems with my inexpensive Behringer Powered Mixer I had the opportunity to use my OTHER amp which is my PEAVEY PV1200 which was in storage awaiting the purchase of a MACKIE mixer. But against my judgement I used it anyway with my vocopro mixer.
I had forgotten how GOOD and CLEAN sounding that amp was. I actually had people coming up to me and comment on the sound. It was refreshing. NOT that people complained about the sound with the Behriner. But IT WASN'T THE SAME...So the lesson is this You CAN get by with less expesnive equipment and make a living ..For how long..THATS A GAMBLE .....If you're serious about being a KJ spend some money .doesn't have to be a GAZILLION DOLLARS ..Just take some good advice from the people here and stay with the TOP MANUFACTURES when buying Pro-Audio equipment.....Thanks to all !!!!!

GAZILLION DOLLARS !!

now that's a lot of money

It certainly would be, but Jam has made a very good point. Why buy something based on price if you're not gonna be happy with it and end up going out and replacing it. You end up paying more in the long run. Might as well do it right the first time and be happy. Plus, you'll be a lot more competative when it comes to quality.

Jam,

Thank YOU!

Well he also makes the point you CAN get away with doing shows with cheap stuff. Like JAM, he bought the Behringer because of price & features. I admith that little board has a lot to offer - feature wise, but compare it to something of more quality which may cost more, & there will be a noticeable difference. As he found out, his PV1500 (which isn't even in the top of the line catagory) amp & mixer combo, which costs a lbit more sounds considerably cleaner. The cheap one worked but didn't sound as nice. Quality DOES cost money, but there are ways to sound very nice at reasonable costs that don't sacrifice sound. Cheap isn't always good (like stated) if you end up replacing components later on due to lack of sound, or premature failing or ????

I'm in the process myself of building systems now to stay in New Mexico myself that don't quite cost 1/2 the cost on the bottom end as my larger systems, but they still will carry the great sound quality if not better as any other local show here. Unless they are running a $50,000.00 system before media. I doubt anybody is doing that.

The new systems will be on the line of any portable club or ballroom system and just as reasonable, and active too.
