Re: Quick and Dirty Bar Rig 2014 Edition
I still feel that Yamaha 01v96 is the most solid board you can buy at this level. The Behringer has more bells and whistles, but it's road worthiness has yet to be proved. I feel like the Studiolive is a big turd as well. My 01v's are the biggest money maker in my inventory, and they've never given me a single problem.
The JBL PRX series would be my pick for all around speakers. The 735's/718XLF for mains, and 712m's for monitors. Granted, I feel the 600 series was a better all around box, the 700 still sounds nice, and a lot better than the QSC K stuff. I would never want to build a rig around the K series- KW maybe, but the K's just fall apart when you lay in to them.
I agree, all outboard can be eliminated. The built in EQ is plenty.
