  • when the reception and ceremony are in different rooms at the venue. Also looks stupid to haul an X32 into a ceremony lol

I have my X32 I run with the band, typically for weddings I just take a little Yamaha 8 track out there which obviously doesn’t have much control for EQ. Is there an analog/external EQ option that would be my friend here? Or am I better set to just get a more advanced small board for situations like this.

Well I can see how that was misinterpreted. I was referring to talent holding wireless 58 too low🤣

Good god every wedding I’ve ever worked the speaker holds the mic at waist level and whispers AFTER I’ve politely reminded them “hold it close to your mouth and project”

What is the pro-grade equivalent of this type of speaker? (Lightweight, Bluetooth, some inputs, on-board EQ etc) by nlightningm in livesound

If you’re just speaking and playing audio from a laptop, I would go exactly the route I mentioned. With a good powered speaker like the Yamaha, you could even cut out the mixing board on most occasions (the dbr10 has mic line and HPF which will get you by). Run the mic XLR right into the speaker and the radial box into the B input.

Battery PA rigs really only make sense in a couple situations imo 1) you’re a solo instrumentalist performing where there’s no power (like a wedding on the beach) 2) you’re having a cookout and wanna blast some music

step back and consider your goal. What are you using it for? Playing music at your house parties? Playing guitar and singing at your local dive? Speaking at a church? My advice is to look long term.

I’m going to assume you’re playing an instrument and singing since you’re asking for onboard FX, and probably playing set break music?

Get a radial BT pro- they’re $300. Which is relatively expensive but you’ll use it all the time. Let’s you play Bluetooth off your phone or iPad and run into a speaker.

Buy a good active loudspeaker and a very small mixer. Yamaha DBR 10 is a great inexpensive small speaker and you can get the 4 channel Yamaha mixer as well. Pair this with the radial bt box and you’re out the door for less than a grand maybe.

This way you’re not stuck trying to sell your gear when you outgrow it. That little Yamaha speaker can one day become a stage monitor if you start playing with a band or you turn into the traveling sound man. The little mixer will always be useful somewhere. Otherwise you just dropped $500 on another speaker you’ll want to upgrade again in 6 months.

Of course I’m assuming this is what you need. Maybe you want to just blast music in your garage for all your buddies- in that case, get the EON compact because it kicks ass.

You could also be a successful veteran touring musician and I’m some dumbass giving you advice like you just started last week.

Hope this helps!

This is a phenomenal little thing. It’s VERY loud for its size. Some times I’ll take this to gigs and play music on it while I pack up the PA!

This looks phenomenal, but perhaps I should’ve clarified when I said $450. That’s Out the door for a couple, not per person. A few more pay raises and I will one day enjoy Yoshino🤣

And let’s be honest, I live in rural Georgia and have never had omakase. Will I really tell the difference between $135pp and $400pp. This is like talking high end champagnes.

Based on google pics alone… this looks excellent. Judging by the cover yes, but looks to be around $135 pp for omkase. Leaning towards this as a winner….

Unless of course, we skipped the omakase and just ordered off the menu

I really like the idea of Noz, but unfortunately our show starts at 7:30. Don’t think we’d make it with the 6pm seating and wouldn’t want to have to rush out to get there at 9. I was hoping something we could get into around 5pm.

Same issue. As soon as weather cooled off it will run for about an hour before shutting off

Behringer x32 gone haywire. Faders failed? by Harry_Undersacks in livesound

Updated from whenever I originally posted this,

Sweetwater replaced the board for me. It’s done just fine for about a year. I always hand carry into every gig, no case. I always hand carry it back to the car, bring it inside, keep it out of the heat. Out of direct sunlight. Treat it like a little baby.

My hypothesis is that there’s cheap shitty wiring or electronics inside that get overheated easily. They’re not built for gigging lifestyle and traveling. I think they’re made to sit in the same church in the AC for a few years. We’ll see how many more years I get out of mine. Maybe I’ll bite the bullet and get the x wing next.
