There comes a time in the life of each band, if someone really wants to play somewhere. (Somewhere, the drummer is not the basement, I mean.) Until now, the singer microphone connected to the keyboard amp, but just to be one of, if we or you play in a restaurant (or a barn, terrace)? The truth dawns: we need a PA system for vocals. But what is?
There are several factors to look at and a number of pitfalls you needto avoid. I'm just here on the highlights, in which the most important decisions that need you and your band to be the right system for your hard earned money. Since I only worked closely with some of these systems, I do not recommend specific brands or models here. But I will give some points to consider as you sort through the available systems.
1st Powered Mixer or individual components?
The first thing is to decide whether to use an all-in-onePA system or separate components. An all-in-one, also known as "Power Mixer", contains a mixer (usually 8 channels), a power amplifier (two channels for main and monitor speakers), and maybe some effects like reverb basis and delays.
If this is your first band system of PA, you should take this type of drive, especially if you're not a man of sound for your band. An all-in-one device is easy to install, just need power, microphone and speakerCompounds and is ready to go! You can put it on the side of the stage and must control access to their simple controls, including significant levels.
A component system with separate mixer, amplifiers, effects and lasts much longer and go to a concert, although it offers some additional flexibility. If you have someone to set up and run the PA for you, a component of the system might work. Otherwise I would keep it simple and go with theAll-in-one.
2nd How much power?
The necessary power to the PA depends on the size of venues to play and expect to play in the kind of music. (An acoustic band without a drummer needs less energy than a PA headbanging metal suit.) Another consideration is whether you want just voice, several voices or tools through the PA. Put down (a bit ') on the PA to increase even really eat the amplification stagespower!
The fact is, you should buy the maximum power that can be done. This is only guaranteed to be more power than you think you need. Then throw in the fact also that services for these systems are more marketing numbers and engineering details are often misleading ... Conclusion: I have never heard a band, and looking back to say he wished he had bought a small PA system!
3rd How many speakers?
I wouldWe suggest two speakers and two monitors. Even in a small town, you really need to distribute the left and right main speakers properly balanced sound throughout the room. (When I say left and right, I'm not talking about a stereo setup - the signal is the same on both speakers.) With two speakers, it reduces the number of listeners who are closest to the final as PA speakers, and thus can not be heard singing.
One might be tempted to skimp on boxes and monitorsonly one. This may be fine if it's just a singer, instrumentalist, but also really enjoy hearing and other players. With two monitor speakers should allow all somewhere in the vicinity of at least one of them!
4th What microphones and other accessories on?
If you do not have much on hand, I would take a Shure SM58 faithful to each singer. Probably will not need to make the battery of Mike. In fact, you should avoidMicrophones for more than the song, if possible, since each microphone on stage waiting to happen breathtaking Feedback scream!
If you go running out through the PA, use the boxes between different instruments - guitar, bass, keyboard - and its amplification with mixer stage to send the signal to the PA. If there is an acoustic guitar, using the signal of his pickup in place of acceptance. If you do not have a built-in pickup, you might try an add-on type,although this may not have the sound quality you need. Fortunately, it seems that most acoustic pickups are built in those days.
You will also need the microphone cable, power cable and the primary monitor, and possibly a snake (a multi-core cable allows you to eight or more signals between the stage and the PA mixer running).
