[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 122154, member: 2121"] Re: New system advice Bennett, Thanks for taking the time to answer that. We already have our own mics, DIs, IEMs, cables, stands, cases, mains distro, and so on, so the bulk of what's in that spreadsheet is already taken care of. We are not just starting out. Also, we don't play bars. All we are looking at is a FOH system to use at those venues we play at that don't have a suitable one. I realise that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but something that will do the job most of the time will do. Having settled on the JBL PRX system, I guess I was looking for someone to tell me that I was making a mistake and that I should be looking at something else instead. We are hiring at the moment, and whilst that eliminates the cost of ownership, it adds logistical problems that are becoming harder for us to overcome. If we had our own rig that we could store with our lighting rig, we wouldn't have the hassle of organising PA hire, pickup, etc for those gigs where we need it. We have a small tour coming up later in the year and we need to hire for around 50% of the gigs. Looking at the amount we would be spending on hiring systems, we could get our own system and have something to show for the money. Thanks anyway. Karl. [/QUOTE]
