[QUOTE="Matt Vivlamore, post: 207614, member: 33"] Well about 2 years ago I made a decision to get out of the Live Sound ‘Production/Ownership’ because the day job company would have paid for my Master Degree. Well, fast forward to today… I left that company for another job and never went to school. Anyways, what’s out there and what have I missed? My last rig was Fulcrum FA22ac over JBL SRX718s & Itech8000 with a Yahama LS9-32 or Behringer X32-Compact. I just gotten a bunch of TurboSound iQ10s and I did enjoy them for the short time I had them. I was running a bunch of Sennehiser EW500 with e935 mics and EW300-IEMs. For the most part, it was all flat packed in a ’06 Chevy Express 3500 Duramax Diesel. Now you know the basis of what I had, it time to start rebuilding. Random thoughts off the top of my head; I know I can’t justify purchasing the Fulcrums right now (gotta get money coming in). Right before selling everything, my plan after that wedding ‘season’ was to replace the SRX718s with Powered Sub (just began the research). I do have some Goals in mind and I know it’ll take a couple years to rebuild and regain the clientele that I once had. My Goals are that I want a light, powerful and compact rig to fit in a Mini Cargo Van (like a Ford Transit Connect) for cover a wedding in a standard ball room (~75’ x ~100’ with a ~50’ x ~50’ dance floor) with a guest size right around 150 people. Some of my initial plans are: Mixer: Start with a Behringer X32-Rack and then add a Midas M32R. The 2 are going to be interconnected and digitally split. I’ll use the M32R inputs for the ‘money channels’ and Monitor Duties and the X32-Rack will be on FOH duty (mixed remotely by iPad). Speakers – Self Powered. Mains: I’m looking at starting out with either the EV ETX-12P or JBL SRX812P; but it’ll be along this price point. Subs: Since I loved my SRX718s/IT8000 combo, I’m going right to the SRX818SP (at least a good demo), but I was looking at the EV ETX-18SP prior. Monitors/Utility: I can save a few bucks in comparison to the Mains. I should be fine with the iQ10 again, but the new EV ELX200 looks interesting. Mics: Vocals: Sennheiser e935 or Shure Beta58a Guitar: Sennheiser e609 Kick: Audix D6; Shure Beta98A Snare: Shure Beta56 Toms: e604 (3 pack) Hats & Overhead: Sennheiser e614/AKG C430. Stands: K&M 210/9 XLR Cables: CBI MLN/Performer or EWI Starline [/QUOTE]
