IS 100 Watts For A PA SYSTEM Sufficiant
IS 100 Watts For A PA SYSTEM Sufficiant Posted on: 17.05.2013 by Lean Hostetler I'm currently looking becoming a Mobile/Pub/Wedding DJ and over the last year have been putting together some gear consisting of Pioneer CDJ 200's, DJM 400 Mixer, Moonflower lights, lasers, smoke machine, and portable deck stand with T bar for the lights. On one of the online store had the Peavey Audio Performer pack PA System which is rated at 100 watts RMS and I'm wondering if it will be loud enough for Pub Dj'ing, and Wedding, according to my father who used to play in a band, believe it's sufficient, but I'd like to find out some more info as I'm a newbie when it comes to PA Systems... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Peavey-APP-A...=cm_cr_pr_pb_t | |

| Lean Hostetler 19.05.2013 | Will keep the Peavey for monitoring, but believe I'm going to purchase some mackie thumps, anyone know if they'll be able to perform in most venues as I've found a good deal on them on ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/B-Stock-Ma...item2c6d67e7e5 |
| Alphonso Deitchman 18.05.2013 | They are too weak to DJ with in pubs and small venues IMO. |
| Lean Hostetler 18.05.2013 | Will they be able to get the job done in pubs/small venues when just starting out, I know I'll definitely need a bigger system when moving on to larger venues or outdoor parties... |
| Dannie Dimora 18.05.2013 | True that even with 10 watts and good, sensitive speakers you can fill a room with sound. But that's mainly audiophiliqc territory, so you really should be considering more powerful options. Get some cheap speakers that can sustain at least 3-400w, and later on build yourself a sub with cheap plywood or mdf and a cheap 15" driver. |
| Doreen Schurle 18.05.2013 | They're 50W RMS, not peak like most PA gear, with an SPL of 109, so they're not terrible. But even so, they're RIDICULOUSLY overpriced for what they are. Just get a pair of these, or even the QR10As: http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/40048...f13=80&ff14=63 |
| Charline Dye 17.05.2013 | I would say minimum for what you want to do would be 700-1000 watts. Even then you will want to add a subwoofer ASAP. If you are on a budget, some Mackie Thumps would be a good option. They are 400 watts each. Also watts isn't the best indicator of loudness, SPL is better. For example, the Mackie Thumps are 400w with a max SPL of 116db. The speakers I use are 350w with a max SPL of 127db. So my speakers, using 50w less than the Thumps, will put out 11db more. SPL= sound pressure level db = decibels |
| Nedra Fresneda 17.05.2013 | Enough for atmospheric, not even remotely for dancing and you can forget about outdoors stuff. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 17.05.2013 | Those little 50W speakers won't put out much volume. |
| Dannie Dimora 17.05.2013 | It won't be loud. And if it will be, it will have prominent, distorted midrange and no bass or HF at all. |
