Some I run 2 mains with a floor monitor like the picture I posted. We fit all of this in a Chevy Tracker. I am running a digital Peavey powered mixer, very light.12 inch passive speakers, also light. Then when I go to a 3 peice with a percussionist, I have enough channels to mic is hand drums. This works for me. To me, the guitar amp does not have enough bottom end for vocal mics in these noisy clubs.  |
I think you may had misread the question. I already have a powered mixer and 2 passive speakers. I want either an acoustic amp or a powered PA to add as a monitor only. I may use for practice at home as a stand alone.
