My "A" rig is pretty nice stuff... suitable for corporate ballroom events, wedding receptions, etc... I (like most I suspect) like to keep my nice stuff nice; however, there is a local (fairly small-time) market to service that's subject to the elements and crowds & acts that sometimes let the fun get a little out of my comfort zone for subjecting nice equipment to... and I don't have much of anything that's truly suitable for "B" rig duty to meet the market.
I'm looking for suggestions of good warhorse and battle axe gear. Stuff that better fends off or more-so accommodates dirt, rain, air born beverages... etc... Specifically I'm looking for recommendations for FOH speakers, monitors, board, FX & processing equipment, & mics. Performance excellence is less of a priority, or a very distant second to "dirty rotten tough, and still viable even if a little (or a lot) rough around the corners." but still gets the job done. As an example: The JBL Concert series cabinets were a robustly built cabinet with a fiberglass coating that made them really tough... and they got the job done.
Just brain storming.
