speakers

[seddar]

sorry if there is already a thread on speakers please redirect me there if there is one..

but anyway what i was wanting to know was wat kind of speakers should i buy that will be good enough to bring to dj at a hall or house party and also obviously to use at home.. cos at the moment i got shit speakers at home which i cant use at a hall so if a mate wanted me to dj at a hall i would hav to hire speakers which is gay so id rather buy speakers which are good enough.. lol.. but i dont want top of the range speakers cos i dont wana spend to much cash at the moment

thankssssss

[pomrocks]

if you dont want to spend much....hire

[seddar]

well im looking to spend probs $300 for each speaker. or 400 for each speaker if its more worth it. thats the max.

[Funkedub]

get big ones

[ferretrock]

riiighhhhttt.
Do behringer even sell in this price range?

Try doubling your price and you might get something shit.

[seddar]

400 watts isnt good enough for a hall? lol

[littlebrains69]

400 watts is plenty for a hall. $400 a speaker is plenty below what you should be paying for a 400watt speaker

[pomrocks]

well im looking to spend probs $300 for each speaker. or 400 for each speaker if its more worth it. thats the max.

good luck with that

cheapest 12" powered speaker would be at least $350

[Dr Fegg]

get big ones
:stroke: I'm not sure if big ones will be loud enough - I reckon get really big ones. Of course it's no guarantee ppl will dance tho

so if a mate wanted me to dj at a hall i would hav to hire speakers which is gay

:lol:

[Jumpy1]

Did u realize You'll also need an amp??, so ull need a bit more than $800
why not charge your mates a hire fee and then youll get something extra to spend on them??

The SK are the best in this lower price range imo and a pair of 10" powered soundking Max200a would cost u $790, but ull need at least the 12" to do a small hall function/backyard and they cos about $990 pair.. then when you save more you can add a sub

Oh and buy stands to help spread the sound futhur

Yeh but are they under $400?
And have they got an iPod dock?

[seddar]

how about the Behringer B215A 15" Powered Speaker theyre 450 each... and 400 watts..

they good enough for a hall?

[groovewell]

How long is a piece of string?

How big is the hall?

I would suggest going into a store and having a listen. Try before you buy.

[Papanikolas]

These should do, plus they have an iPod dock:

Looks impressive, but comb filtering's gonna be a bitch.

[seddar]

hmmm i really have no idea wat to do..cos i dont have $1000+ to spend on speakers at the moment..and hiring is gona cost around $80 which is probs half of what ill be gettin on the night..any suggestions?

[Fanj]

Ask for more money!!:P

[Jumpy1]

how about the Behringer B215A 15" Powered Speaker theyre 450 each... and 400 watts..

they good enough for a hall?

soundking are better and cost about $550... yes they do a small hall, if you raise the tweeter to head height, go to a shop and listen to them


if youve got $700.. borrow the extra 300 and pay it back or get finance

[Dyslexic JD]

Logitech, computer speakers $80 bucks..

fully sick

[shaggdoggz]

what size is the hall, how many people are you playing to, and what style of music are you playing? Most of the speakers mentioned are great mid - high for approx 100 people, and will do you for your house. The B215a's will do if your music does not rely heavily on bass and its a smallish party.

[Dr Fegg]

You can get earbud headphones for $3 a pair and double adaptors for about $2. Buy 100 of each, and get everyone to stand really close to your line out socket.

The other bonus of this approach is that if anyone hates your music they can plug their earbuds into their iPod.

YES!! thats genius :P

[razza12]

Make your own if you wanna stay in that budget. I would suggest you look at http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/ and build the OTop12's and add a sub later. They will cost you maybe 300 each and really are quite high quality and not that difficult to build at all..

[seddar]

alrite i realised im not gona get anything for that money. but how about around $800 per speaker. wat are good ones for around that price and whats a good place in melb to get them from like jb hi fi or.. wateva... THANKS :)
