SV: Phat Acoustic Portable PA



Title: Meddelande
Hi Peter,
 
I did a couple of live looping gigs and rented the following system:
 
2 Mackie active top cabinets SRN450 on stands and 1 Sub woofer, SRS1500.
 
This system sounded awesome! I connected it directly to the mixer stereo out of my looping gator rack. As sounds I was using tenor sax and stratocaster guitar (lined preamp) and a woman sat in on djembe for one concert. The bass was HUGE and I had to adjust the repeater track I use to turn down my tenor sax to a "bass horn" so it wouldn't blow the clothes off everybody ;-) 
 
It's not a portable PA system though. You have to transport it by car.

Best wishes

Per Boysen

I am considering purchasing a pair of the ev sax100a's, their powered speakers for a live pa setup. Playing baritone acoustic, national resophonics, vox, djembe, and sax through with repeater looping. Any feedback on these speakers?

Also, any thoughts on compact non powered mixers with on board effects?

How bout a good compressor for some phat guitar sound?

I'm using ART's pro vla and mpa right now, and haven't tried it yet, but am considering using a pair of earthworks SR77 mics for micing the guitars, setting one for nylonstring and general fingerpicking levels, and the other for reso thumpville. I have sunrise pickups in all my flattops, which I am moderately satisfied with, and am debating going with mics only.

Thanks,

Peter T Hutter.
