Re: Quick and Dirty Bar Rig 2014 Edition
First off, I have referred a good number of folks to your old Q&D bar rig page, so kudos to you for the update.
My opinions on your questions:
1. Only two worth mentioning in that price range, IMHO: 618/718XLF and KW181.
2. More a style choice, but I would put the DL1608 in the mix as an option as well.
3. Yes.
4. I can work with either. N00bs might be more comfortable with graphic. YMMV.
My comments on your proposals:
- I'd keep mains/monitors all the same model. K12, PRX712, DXR12, all are good options.
- Consider the DL1608 as a mixer option.
Just my $0.02.
