[QUOTE="John Horvath, post: 105421, member: 22"] Re: Quick and Dirty Bar Rig 2014 Edition If I was to build another bar rig right now it would be nothing more than an updated version of what I build for my band. X32 Compact, S16 stagebox, 2x PRX615 tops, 2x 618XLF subs, and 4 of the Alto TS112a wedges. You guys might scoff at the Altos but they're light, sound decent, and inexpensive. This rig has worked hundreds of shows and has been an excellent investment. The PRX600's are discontinued so I would update to the PRX700. A little heavier from what I've been told, but more power and a more thoughtful rear panel. Lastly, as much as I like to send Mark & Liz more income, I cannot see anyone buying an analog snake any longer. Sure, an S16 is $240 more expensive, and technically 8 less inputs than the EWI RPPX-24-8 150' Reel Snake, but the ease of running (and carrying) a single cat6 versus 32 pair is a no brainer. Plus, plugging in one connector at the console versus 32 XLR is a considerable time savings, well worth the extra money. If you need more than 16x8 for a particular show, you can borrow/rent or upgrade down the road. On a side note, has anyone used any of the DUS monitors from Audiopile?
