small Powered PA

Post by robroe »

im thinking about giving my PA back to my dad for his 60th birthday.

BACKSTORY:
he bought it for me for chirstmas 94' but when i moved away to college he got used to playing his drums down in the basement with it after I left.

when i moved back home from ohio in 2000 all was well but when i moved to buffalo in 2002 i took it with me. he was sad when this happened

i don't really need a 500Wt pa with 6 channels...



what i need is something like those little bergenger mixers, but a powered one that i can buy one 15" cab for. 2 15"s is fucking over kill right now.



im looking to plug my computer into it for computer speakers or the TV, so i need aux jacks on it. im thinking like 4 or even a 2 channel thing would totally work for me.

IDEAS???


*small
*powered
*ill buy the cab later

I bought this Kustom PA system in a sketchy drug deal for $20 (plus $20 for green :p) in high school and it has served me quite well for my uses.

At home I use one of the speakers for my stereo guitar setup, but the I use the PA and one speaker at home for a microphone and my keyboard. When I'm at school, I bring the head and one speaker with me as my main dorm amp. There's 4 channels and EQ settings for each. There's also some pretty decent reverb and "tape" control. I like it.

Edit: Just read what you're looking for. *shrug* Just get a smaller PA?

Yamaha Stage Pass range might be worth considering...

i know two people that have had kustom pa systems, one was a low end and the other high end,
at first they both worked alright. but after about a year, the lower end up blew up, and the higher end one just stopped, and the speakers that came with the package blew
