If some of them are of good quality as you say in the video, would it be worthwhile to take an active one that could also be used to broadcast music in the house in addition to other applications? Because I never wanted to buy one for fear that after I can't even use it for music and that I would be forced to buy a separate hi-fi system

There are several of these that I wouldn't hesitate to buy but I went wth the K12:2. It's a touch louder, has good DSP, is excellent with or without a sub, and sounds amazing. Prior to owning I played gigs where they were used and was stunned at how well they did in everything from a gym to an outdoor gig wth 500 people.

Wow thank you guys! Finally an SPL comparison with the same full range music using a variety of MI speakers that a majority of us may be interested in for our small to medium indoor and outdoor gigs. Seriously thank you that was great to watch I'm going to go back and watch it with headphones. The entry level Yamaha DBR12 appeared to hold its own SPL wise. Figures I just sold my pair to a buddy a few months ago. You know what's next...can you do Yamaha DXR, DZR and some others and also include some 10 inch boxes?! 😎

Wow interesting comparison, my book JBL Eon 712’s and QSC CP12’s sounded amazing, the rest I was not impressed with. They were (IMOA) open, airy, full, just musical. I was really surprised at the difference in all of them, using all the words in the rest of the run, boxy, dull, flat, worst was pioneer and EV’s. With the later surprising me as I have heard different EV active that are killer. Although I thought that both mic placements may have been not exactly optimum for each speaker as in pointed at center cabinet at set distance, but probably close enough.

The DHR15s I grabbed when they first hit the market early last year, are on a completely different level. 135dbl. with a range of 38hz.-20khz. They pound wickedly. Unless portability and weight are your main concerns, I just can't see paying almost the same amount for any of these? Do your homework. When you realize you still need a sub with any of these, and they start around $1800 for anything decent!

@adambrown8867
@adambrown8867 Год назад
I don't call 50hz for the low end full range. In a small venue it could work, but you can run lower decibel levels overall if including a couple of matching subwoofers on a low pass around 80hz, so the treble doesn't have to be pearcing, because the main has to be cracked to get impact, or dull, from having to turn treble down with EQ. With a sub the main is not having to be cranked to get the impact you want.
@BluesCat1980
@BluesCat1980 10 месяцев назад
Well, they're full range in the sense that it can cover a decent amount of low-end. They can cover lows, mids, and highs. All a sub does is extend the low end.

1. QSC K12.2 - Sounds incredible, really liked how it sounded. 2. JBL EON712 - Sounded pleasant, almost felt the speaker was being too polite, but it was clear. The Yamaha DBR12 confused me with that kick sound, it also sounded a bit brittle for me, maybe people have a different experience? I was expecting so much from the Mackie Thump212, but it doesn't sound good at all. Really enjoyed this video, it's really opening my eyes to Powered PA speakers, would love to see a budget version of this (which tops and subs combos work well on a budget).

Hey there! You certainly won’t need anything too crazy for that kind of setup. One of our portable PA systems would be just fine, in my opinion.

Here are a couple of my favorites that would work great in a small space for a smaller crowd: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ThumpGo--mackie-thump-go-battery-powered-loudspeaker www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/S1ProP--bose-s1-pro-multi-position-pa-system-with-battery These are just a few of our many options here, so feel free to reach out if you want to talk through some others that might work as well.

Hey there! Yes, two 12” speakers should be substantial for most indoor gigs of that size. You’ll also want to look at the max SPL of the speakers you’re going to be running - this will give you an accurate gauge of how well the speakers will push out in the room.
