Hi all. At the moment I play guitar and sing in a three piece rock band.
(Don't ask! Long story! Can't wait to get back to the bass!)
We are using a pa I bought on here, a pair of peavey eurosys two speakers and a spirit powerstation 600 desk.
But the desk is a bit heavy and bulky to move around, so I was thinking about something smaller and lighter.
Problem is it has to be really really cheap!
I'm torn between a behringer power amp EPQ900 and using the bass players existing behringer mixer with fx into it, or buying an all in one powered mixer, something like the Behringer pmp980.
I know behringer stuff ain't the best and I'm very familiar with all the arguments, but it really is all I can afford!
I'd like the Yamaha emx512 but simply can't afford it. I'd rather buy new and light than an older heavier unit that may be on its last legs.
I'm thinking the power amp route may be better cause of the modular design, ie, change one thing at a time, as opposed to the more handy one box, which if it goes, it's gone.
On the downside with a power amp it probably means a rack case and more power supplies etc.
Any thoughts or help appreciated but please bear in mind the skintness. £250 really is it Infact it's pushing it lol.
I looked at the inuke but it looks like it would be terribly underpowered into my 8ohm eurosys 2's.
The powerstation is 265w per side so I'd like to not dip below 200w/220w ish if poss. It's for three vocal mic's only, over a loud drummer, one guitar and bass.
I miss bass! This singing/bandleader lark is all too complicated lol.
