martthebass Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 HK audio pro 15 passive. Great full range speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdt Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 thanks, bit off topic, could you tell me , what i am doing wrong , how to use a boss tuner out of a amp, and be able to cut the sound and still tune, silly i know , but cant work it out, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I guess it depends on the amp, but in my experience ...... if the amp has a 'Tuner out' socket you still have to turn down the output control from the amp to tune in silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 plug the guitar into the tuner and then the tuner into the same input you normally use on your amp. When you switch the tuner off it is true bypass, ie it just connects the input straight through and does nothing to the signal Almost anything will be better than the Peaveys. They never did sort out their horn driver which is a shame as the bass drivers are generally good. What's your budget and what will you use them for?

JTUK Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 JBL 612 passives are pretty good. HK pro 15 at £288 per cab seem a starting point reference altho HK aren't the name they were and I've heard lots of issues with various models based around the horn and x-over plate.. Just a cheapy design subject to a few breakages... We tried the 12pro and didn't like it but we had other issues with the P.A so unfair to put all the balme on the way we used the monitor.. but a active Wharfedale which are also cheap as chips, performed far better.. I think at a certain pricepoint, then warranty becomes more of a factor as wel so be careful where you get them and where you may have to send them back...

Phil Starr Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) If you really want to rationalise/save carrying stuff I'd think about actives. They are getting better all the time and you'll get great reliability and functionality. You'll get £200 for the IPR1600, less if its the old heavy Peavey amp. (I'm looking for a third IPR1600 if you do sell) RCF, Mackie (not the Thumps) EV, JBL, Wharfedale, HK all worth a look at/listen to. Even the better Behringers are going to sound better than your Peavey but I'd look at other brands. Second Hand you should be able to pick up some bargains if you want passive speakers, everyone is updating their passives to actives because they make life a lot easier for anyone other than techno nerds like me.

Kevin Dean Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I use Peavey UL series , great quality . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'd look for a powered pair of Rcf art 322s or 325s. Great all rounders with smooth top end and good reliability. Don't bother with the 312s, 315s, 412s etc as the 1 inch tweeters are poor. A pair of 322a's went for well under £400 on ebay recently.

Al Krow Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 What are your thoughts on Line 6 actives (and their amps generally)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Not sure...have to hear them... We went to Yamaha DXR/DSR to replace QSC as I think they are as good... so no need to pay for QSC and Yam match the 7 year warranty. Mind you, never heard of a QSC going back, so..?? I think you need to hear them in a shop A/B'd with others you have nailed down. I did this @ Andertons and it was a good thing to hear. One thing to really beware of, IMO.. is these small line array units like Elements as you need so many units to get the sound up and that is an expensive way to do it ... Ditto, the Bose variant as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
