I have a 4 piece classic rock band (2 guitars, bass drums and 3 vocals)that plays 2/3 per months. Usually we play in some pretty small venues. We have been micing everything and running sound from stage (with pretty decent, but not great) results. Currently we have 24 channel Mackie board and a rack with QCS power amps for tops and subs and Carvin monitor amp for up to 4 wedges. Also 2 of us use Sure in ears for monitors.
Due to a member leaving, we are losing our transportation and storage of the equipment. Other remaining members feel that we should go with powered mixer and speakers on a stick as that's what his old band did. I'm not looking forward to this change, but due to equipment logistics amd considering trying this. We would run vocals and kick drum through the PA and run stage volume from back line amps.
I am interested in anyone opinions of this kind of setup.
Secondly, we are considering powered mixers from Mackie, Yamaha and Carvin. I am VERY interested if anyone has opinions, good or bad, regarding these mixer/amps or any of the different models available.
