Gigging Band PA’s

[police squad]

Also you need to remember the desk.

For about 10 years I have used an Allen & Heath ZED-FX22 desk. Initially with the already mentioned Wharfdale EVP powered subs and tops. A good, cheap set-up but then

 

I bought QSC stuff. K12s x 2 and Ksub x 2. OMFG. Really good sound and I also use this gear for an outside gig that I do. It really is awesome.

In my duo, keys, guitar and vocals, we started using a the K12s with the 22 channel Allen & heath desk. A really great sound but the desk is too big, so I bought a Behringer desk with FX. XENYX X1204USB 8 Channel Analog Mixer

yep, it sounded ok and I got used to it but for one gig went back to the bigger desk and the difference was night and day. So I went and bought a small Allen and Heath Zed-10FX desk . So much more musical than the Behringer and sounding like the 22FX

 

so please remember the desk counts for a lot.
