I am running sound for about 7-9 Bands at the End of Aug. Here's what I have:

Behringer MX 8000 24/48 Mixer
2 x Behringer EP 2500's
2 x JBL JRX 125's
2 x Peavey 15m wedges
2 SM 58's
4 SM 57's
Shure Beta 52
2 Behringer C2 overhead condenser's
2 SM 58 copies (1 Audio Technica, 1 Samson R11)
24/8 100' Snake
1 dbx 266 Comp
1 BEhringer DI

I have about another $1200 to spend getting setup for this.

One thing I want to get is reverb.I just did a show in a 180' x 50' Tent. Both bands were asking for more reverb.

Please Let me know if you have any suggestions on what to buy next or the best way to get each band setup quickly.

The Venue is an "L" shape and probably about 45' x 75' each way.

Thanks,

One thing you might want to look at is either renting an extra amp for the monitor's or buying one. Because you are going to need every watt those Behringer 2500 can muster for the JBL's to sound their best.

Then a mid range reverb unit and maybe a couple extra mic's and cables. That would depend on the bands that are going to be there though.

If they are all small bands then you might be OK with the mic's you have already.
