audio system setup (starter)
« on: March 31, 2014, 02:05:47 AM »
mga masters I need your opinions and suggestions.

plano ko pong mag setup ng sound system

purpose:

for small to medium size events (more or less 30 m x 40 m yung area ng venue-outdoor or indoor)
to be specific: live stage performance for small band like acoustic, small events like brithdays, school events, wedding events and other small gatherings.

ito po sana ang plano ko:

AMPLIFIER- dalawang Crown LPS2500, 550w/channel into 8ohms, 1450w bridge mono. ang isa for mid-hi, at yung isa naman bridge mono for my sub
MIXER- Soundcraft efx12
MICROPHONE- Trident wireless

undecided po ako sa mga sumusunod:
1.Speakers for mid-hi (15")  (budget 14k to 15k pair)   
2.sub   (budget-18k)               
3.Crossover  (budget-5k-7k)      << gusto kong magtry ng AD na brand kaso wala pa akong nababasa na review kaya medyo alinlangan.
4.Compressor(budget-7k)     << gusto kong magtry ng AD na brand kaso wala pa akong nababasa na review kaya medyo alinlangan. AD 166XL? samson? pero ang mahal naman, dbx? sobrang mahal
5.equalizer  (budget-4 to 5k)         << gusto kong magtry ng AD na brand kaso wala pa akong nababasa na review kaya medyo alinlangan.

Yan lang po mga masters. baka may suggestion kayo na mas mapamura maasahang kalidad.

You may want to consider AD or DVON wireless mics or MIPRO. 2 channel models from this brands would offset the cost of branded wired mics and their cables and connectors plus no trip hazzard, good sound quality pa.

parang OK to sir, pero hindi ko muna isagad yung suggestion mo na dalawang sub, dagdagan ko nalang sa sunod, at dalawang LPS2500 muna. de-kalidad na pundasyon na to.. available po ba sa audiophile store ang Samson RSX115?

salamat sir!

two (2) Samson RSX 115 loudspeaker
one (1) Samson RSX 118S subwoofer
two (2) Crown LPS 2500 power amp

Let's re-compute...

Power to mid-hi: 2 x 550 watts = 1,100 watts

Suggestion ko, dalawang dual 15" nalang para hindi na kailangan ng sub. Mas mura pa.

Ni-delete mo? OK naman mga comment mo...

Tama ka, dapat simple lang muna ang sound system lalo na pag nag-uumpisa. Mas madali magbuo ng sound system kung active o powered na ang loudspeaker dahil hindi na problema ang proper matching ng separate power amp sa passive loudspeaker. Kung nagtitipid naman, pwede tumunog ang sound system ng maayos kahit wala munang compressor at graphic eq. Kailangan lang talaga ng matinong mixer. I also prefer reputable brands of audio equipment made by legendary professional audio manufacturers.

Pero hindi ko irerekomenda ang dalawang single-15" at isang single-18" sub dahil mali ang ratio ng woofer size. Sayang, masasapawan lang ng dalawang 15" ang isang 18". Makakawawa lang at madaling masisira ang iisang 18" na yan. Dapat talaga dalawa ang 18".

Mas mabuti pa mag dalawang dual-15" nalang kesa dalawang single-15" + isang single 18" setup.

Wala akong alam sa mga produkto na "Konzert" ang tatak.

Gaanong karami ang mga mangaawit sa koro? Ang isang condenser mic na cardioid pickup pattern ay sapat na para sa hanggang 15 na mangaawit.

Baka hindi na kailangan ng sound reinforcement ang bass amp, guitar amp, at keyboard amp. Ilan watts at ano ang sukat ng woofer ng tatlong amp na yan?

Outdoor ba? Ano ang area at seating capacity?

- ah ok sir Tarkuz Toccata...

- mga 30k lang daw budget sa simbahan..nagpapa-canvass kasi ang PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL namin...
indoor po namin gagamitin.. 20 to 25 members / choir

- yung konzert na brand nakita ko yun sa channel.com.ph ... cheap price.. siguro nga dahil sa hindi kilala yung brand..

- bass amp - 60w, keyboard amp - 40w, guitar amp-40w..

thanks ulit sir :-)

Dagdagan pa sana ang budget para hindi tayo kapusin.

Mungkahi ko,

  • Peavey PVi 8B PLUS powered mixer 700W, 8-ch
  • Samson RS-215PA loudspeaker, dual 15"

Sana makatulong ito.

anong magandang subwoofer cabinet design ang maganda?:

x1 (bandpass type)?
ported enclosure?
