Here's my situation, I do press confrences, corporate gigs and sometimes mix the odd bands or provide a PA for DJ's I prefer passive speakers the thing is I need speaker that have long throw for speaches and also powerfull enough to mix a full band or to cover a dance floor.
Here's what I have in mind,
Mackie S215
Mackie S408
EAW FR152E
JBL JRX115
then at the bottom of my list
Behringer eurolive series
and yorkville
anybody have any suggestions and experience with those speakers?

Aug 21, 2007 07:19 pm I used a Yorkville system for exactly what you are doing. I certainly wouldn't put it at the bottom of the list.
I have no experience with the other products so I can't help ya there.
Aug 21, 2007 07:48 pm What models do you guys use?(peavey and yorkville) do you guys use it as well for speach? I find it very tricky using a a PA for speach, it needs alot of EQ and has to be able to long throw without losing any frequencies.
Aug 21, 2007 07:54 pm I had a 12" w/horn hipacks and 15" subs. speakers just need EQ for ringing out, same as a band does, no different.speakers often don't need the subs tho.
Aug 21, 2007 08:15 pm What do you guys think about the good'ol bose 802???? I was just looking on ebay and saw those, what a classic.
I learned audio on those. too funny but very clever design

For your speach setup, have you thought about doing a 4 speaker system? How many people are you talking about? Really makes a difference in the aproach. Mic info etc.
Aug 22, 2007 06:56 am sure, the 802 would be good, but you said bang for your buck...thats is where all your high-profile brand names fall short...price out a Peavey system and compare...
Aug 22, 2007 10:51 am Oh about the 802 I was just a bit nostalgic that's all ;) Yeah most of the companies I work for use delays or side fills for biger crowds. If it really comes to worst I would rent 2 E10 or 15
I have a bunch of 58s for table mics and 2 shure mx412 for podium a few parametric Q's a stereo 31 band, 1 stereo comp/limiter.
I usually do between 10 to 25 ppl for pressers , corporate events from 75 to 200.
Aug 22, 2007 11:01 am A 31 band EQ is great for ringing out a room, that's what I usually used. Loki has that EQ now.
A 10 band is a bit too sweeping of changes and affects the overall sound much more, 31 band can be more precise, affecting the neighboring frequencies less.
Up to 200, no problem, even a very modest PA could handle that with little problem.
Aug 22, 2007 07:48 pm Look into a pair of Peavey PR 15 speakers. I use them here and love em. 1000 watts to power but they don't need all that.
