Dj Vintage. Thanks so much for correcting my error. All along, I had the image of the MG06 in mind. You are right, and the AG06 is seems like a solid machine. I like the fact that I can use a PC based application to fine tune it.

I still think it is compact enough for my current usage. And to to get the AG06, I have to return the Soundcraft unit I have, paying for its shipment. It will add an additional close to $25 to its original cost, bringing its total price close to $325. The AG06 is about $200 shipped, and getting it will save me about $125, which I can use to improve other areas, e.g, the mic.

Thanks a lot for all your help.

Thanks very much for all your thoughts. I agree that for my purposes, a small form factor is a solid consideration. In that regard, I am thinking of the AG06 (http://www.zzounds.com/item–YAMMG06X). I also thought of the Allen & Health Zed 6 (http://www.zzounds.com/item–AAHZED6), which is slightly cheaper, but I am leaning more towards the Yamaha given that I have Yamaha tops (DXR15).

I think it suits my needs at the moment, given the few gigs I do per year, and it is close to $200 cheaper.

Now, assuming I go with the Yamaha AG06, how would you recommend I connect the components:

— Speakers
— Subwoofer
— Controller
— Mics (2 Mics).

I assume I go from Mixer Output —> Subwoofer —-> Tops
Controller Output –> Line Input on Mixer

Since the Mics take Channels 1 & 2, where will the XLR output from the controller go on the mixer?

thanks, Oy

thanks for the hint – I have never used a remix deck (using trakktor pro), but will learn about it. I will go and read about the remix deck, and come back with any possible question.

Thanks Folks. I understand the process of connecting the sub and the speakers, as you all suggested, I will daisy chain the speakers and the sub – going from the Controller Main-outs into the Sub’s inputs, and then the speakers will be connected to the sub’s outputs.

What I am not clear about is with reference to DXS-15s. Since my tops are 15s already, will a single DXS be enough to supply the lower end to both? Wouldn’t it be better to go for a bigger sub like 18″ or 21″?

cheers, Oyiwaa

Hello Terry, MikeD et al:

Just an update: I finally decided and went with the Yamaha DXR15. It arrived today – and I am happy with the way they sound even without the sub. Within the next couple of days, I will get a second one – ie the Yamaha DXR15. Later, I will consider the Cerwin Verga subs (CVA-118) to complete the set.

Thanks again for your all support, and patience with my extremely noob questions: I am still learning 🙂

Thanks very much ….. I just placed an order for the PRX612Ms from ZZounds. I ordered just a single cab, and plan to get a second by years end. But the sub now is the question. The PRX versions are so expensive that I might end up waiting for a long time to get one -maybe sometime next year. I might do one or two gigs before then. Given this, would it be better to get the PRX615s … they are so huge though. And when I get the subwoofer later, wouldn’t it be too much for my type of setup – about 200 people in large room?

The PRX615s haven’t shipped yet, so I still have a window – a couple of hours to change the order.

Cheers, Oyiwaa

Thanks very much for all your input – they are very helpful. Indeed, it is tough choice since the QSC 12s costs just about $50 more than the JBL. The JBL has a crown amp – so they are great, but there is little about built-in protections for the amp as does the QSC (for example through the use of a fan).

As a result, I am being swayed by the protection and connectivity options at the back of the QSCs. But I am not sure if these 2 alone are enough to justify the added cost.

I do plan to get a subwoofer in the next couple of months, before I add a second pair of 12s. Do I have to necessarily go with a QSC subwoofer or can it be matted to a different sub ? If so, what would you recommend?

Thanks – Oyiwaa
