Hi Glenn,

first of, i have to say, i agree with Vintage. Finding hardware is not as easy as just asking on a forum.
However, if you look for advise, here would be my option to go:
Turntables: Reloop 7000
Mixer: Akai AMX (for DVS and “thru”).

be aware though that you will be able to have more options if you go for a controller…
Also with turntables, your monthly expense will be higher (needles, time code records, etc)

if you have any budget in mind, let us know.

Hi James,

i guess it’s easy to convert your statement to:

“why are older [fill in any profession] so bitter of the new younger talent?”

oh, and plenty of good music on that subject as well.

‘the times, they are a changin..’

LOL

Hi,

Maybe a picture or 2 would be nice.
I always have liked customisation of gear!

Alright,
Let’s wait for that.

Meanwhile, about the peavey set, i am very happy with it. It’s compact, easy to move around and still can handle outside parties with up to 100 people, at least.
I always get compliments on the sound quality, either at a house party, or when it’s used as PA for my rock band.

Thanks Terry,

clear story, i think i start to understand the matter.

Since i would like to use 2 channels from the amp (to make sure that speaker 3 and 4 can be placed easily in the far corners of a square), i would need an amp that does maximum of 480 at 4 Ohm per channel.

What if i only connect 2 speakers direct to the Amp, then i need 240 @ 8 Ohm. Do amps have a switch for this or is that done automaticaly?

next to that, why i always get the advise to buy an overpowered amp, so >> 1000 W? Some mentioned even to double the watts..

Great!

so let me try to kick-off this thread with a technical question.

i’ve got 4 passive PA speakers of each 240W programm @8 Ohm impedance.
Lets say i want to connect 2 of them straight into an amp and the other 2 in parallel using out1 to in3 / out2 to in4 to create a square area.
I understand that the impedance reduces to 4 Ohm per speaker.
I am looking for a compatible amp for these speakers.
So here we go:

what should i look for? Slightly over powered, twice the power of the 4 speaker (2kW)?
do i need to take the impedance in acount as well if i only want to connect 2 speakers (in certain circumstances)?

I talked to some suppliers, but get different recommendations…so, would like to know your opinion.

Hi Bravehorse,

here some songs of my last years list which is quite eclectic, so you might look for remixes if you want to stay in a certain style.

The obvious:
Michael Jackson- Thriller (you should have guessed this of course)
Talking Heads – Psycho killer
Stevie Wonder – Superstition

The Cranberries – Zombie (great sing-a-long)

for a bit more banging:
The Prodigy (or Alvaro or better make your own mash-up of both) – Voodoo People
Van Halen – Running with the devil
AC/DC – Highway to hell

oh and this one went really well, when the party went more into electro/progressive:
Rolling Stones – Sympathy For The Devil (Tommie Sunshine’s Peak-Hour Lucifer Edit)

cheers,
King of Snake
