OT: Mackie SRM150 / tiny PA
There's been plenty of discussion (or at least mention) here regarding
the Mackie SRM450 powered speakers. Has anyone had experience with the
tiny SRM150? I need something portable, with two inputs, that can
provide a bit of reinforcement for very small venues, coffeeshops and
that kind of thing. I have no doubt the 150 works well as a monitor, but
it's supposed to be able to handle some application as a main PA, which
is what I'm interested in. A 5.25" speaker doesn't give a lot of hope,
but it sure is nice and small. I want to be able to carry the thing
around as part of my luggage.
In this line of thinking, there's also the Roland CM-30. Far more likely
to be sniffed at is something like the Peavey Messenger, which is a
100-watt suitcase PA. I'd consider something like that, but can't quite
go for the size of a 350 or 450. I do own a Micro Cube but it only has a
single controllable input and is only 5 watts.
I could consider some tiny power amp (something like the discontinued
Crate Powerblock, but for PA use) and a passive monitor; I always have a
mixer with me.
Ideas, personal experience?
tangentially loopish,
