Glad you like it! It also means having a spare is VERY cheap compared to a wireless solution!

Yeah, check out my IEM video. I run through the loom I have made there! ua-cam.com/video/T7uKu6Duw8c/v-deo.htmlsi=GdrFiYIn9rxzLCkg

The addition of the RCF 705/708 will definitely help with the low end, but I don't know if the tops would be quite enough for 300 people unless it was the perfect room. I would lean more towards something like the ES1203/1002 or the RCF Evox12 for that number of people! It may be fine, but I think the larger tops would definitely help. Plus, the EVOX 12 basically has two 705 on the bottom of them!

Thanks! I appreciate that! I would probably just grab a few par cans to start with and go from there! You can basically never go wrong with cans and they will always be useful! You can move them and test to see what works for you too! For metal, I always love heavy backlighting with blinders! Especially if you can sync them to music! Just adds a bit of intensity! I would probably stick away from RGB and go warm white with some heavy uplighting! That’s a great rock look!

I initially heard rattling from the cone on low notes. Then all sound went completely! I have had three go now and they all basically went the same way! The last two got repaired rather than the whole unit replaced and they changed a limiting board which I think may have been the actual issue with mine! We shall see though!

Haha thanks for the kind words of encouragement! Hopefully I got there in the end!

The Behringer Flow8 would be ideal for that! Plus its super compact and easy to use!

❤❤prompt reply!!! Thank you dear! is it recommended for professionals as well? I am thinking of buying it and I want to buy good quality speakers as well. Any ideas on that? Active speakers maybe? For 2 Small to medium size in order to install them on wall.

No worries! Yes the Flow8 is more than pro enough while still being fairly straight forward to control! I actually have another speaker where I talk about my speaker choices for various price brackets! ua-cam.com/video/BDEJJ2FEXJU/v-deo.htmlsi=y0bpnAEjvr-VrgUp Or if your looking for a battery powered option then I build out a mobile PA using the Flow8! ua-cam.com/video/Z5mB4pRXnhc/v-deo.htmlsi=jk6Q2R220ksLJTn9 Hope they help! 🙂

Thank you!!!!❤❤

Interesting! Most people I have heard went for the same pronunciation as me! I've never thought too hard about it but that makes sense! Haha

It should weigh 21.1kg, which I wouldn't call exceptionally lightweight, but it should be more than manageable. Unless you're a builder who is used to chucking around concrete blocks or cement bags all day, as they are similar weights.

Hey! I’ve actually got a video on mixers and I cover most budgets on there and breakdown what size groups they would work best for too: ua-cam.com/video/niCbIEZ07PI/v-deo.html I hope that helps!

It's a great choice! One of my friends uses two of these as his keys/vocal monitors and loves them! The really simple tone is quite effective, to be fair, but you'll be fine with a mixer! Just make sure you get the covers so you don't scrape the paint, and you'll be golden! 🙂

Thank you for the kind words!

I have yet to encounter this newest iteration of Wharfedale. I remember the old English-made boxes could have been better. These new ones look pretty well-specced, although the plate amplifiers look quite like the commercially available Chinese units, which isn't necessarily a good thing in terms of quality control. I would go with the HK sub over the Wharfedale, especially since it is only about £10 more from Bax Shop at the moment!

If you want hi-fi-like sound quality, then I really can't rate the Yamaha DZR range highly enough! I think the DZR15 would be more than enough, but if you want something clear and amazing, I would get a pair of DZR10/12 and a DXS12/15 sub, depending on how low you want it to go! Having the sub-frequencies separated from the tops helps to gain clarity in the output. Keep in mind that this will be a MEGA PA system for a garage, though! Haha, is this for bands or just music? I hope that helps! I've got a video on the DZR10s which I use too, I run them as two tops and a RCF sub with up to 150 people and 2 subs up to 300 people as a frame of reference!

It kind of depends how flexible you need these to be! The DXR10s sound great and have the added benifit of also being good monitors! I think the ES602s would probably sound fuller and function better for a more hi-fi sound! I have seen people stack two of these a side for bigger events too! I would probably stretch for es802/es503 if you can though!

@@GaryOnBass Thanks for your quick response! Unfortunately the es802 are out of my budget. I like the idea of having a compact and lightweight setup, I don't really need an excess amount of low frequencies with this type of music. I'll probably end up going with the Yamaha due to their long warranty

@andrewlukinsmusic yeah the Yamahas are great and super flexible if you do upgrade or expand your system in the future! I haven't ever used the ES602 so can't comment massively but if they are similar to the ES802 then I'm sure they are great!

@@GaryOnBass that’s a good point! If I do get bigger gigs in the future, I can always expand by purchasing the subs. Cheers!

@andrewlukinsmusic for sure! That's one of the main arguments for going for a point source system!

Are you using one or two? I have been looking at getting a pair of these for my band! Are you looking for extra tops or subs? These subs are the same ones used on the Evox 12, so they would probably pair well if you need more low-end!

My guess is that it is their limited availability. I haven't heard of this brand before and can only find one shop where I can order these without any prices. So, I imagine they just haven't figured out European distribution yet! I noticed a similar thing with Bass Boss, which seems popular in the States!

Thanks for the comment! 🙂 Do you need amp simulation built in? I think you would be best off with a separate mixer and speaker. Possibly using a Soundcraft UI12 (if you have power) as that has amp simulation built in! If you need to it to be on battery and dont need simulation than the Zoom or Behringer Flow combinations outlined here should do the trick! 🙂

@@GaryOnBass Thanks. I will take a closer look at these and the built in amp sim on the Soundcraft.

@km100uk its not the best amp sim but it will definitely sound better than going direct! 👍

DZR tops are great but I have had a few reliability issues with the set I have! RCF are always pretty bulletproof in my books! We don’t have Bass Boss over here but a few people have mentioned them! Their units do seem a little large/expensive for this application though!

@ Hmm… Yamaha should address that quickly if it’s a broad-scale issue. They always seemed to make workhorse speakers in the past. RCF’s… typically have no issues and very reliable (I have the Art 12’s and 10’s). BassBoss = next-level stuff (I have their DV12 MK2 and SSP118 MK2 + SV9 MK3s). Their BB15 subs rival many company’s 18” subs. Their SSP-118 subs are heavier but absolutely crush with low-end sub-frequencies, sound quality, reliability, and never seem to limit or distort.

Fair point! I’ll try to remember that on the next one! Thanks for the advice! 🙏

@@GaryOnBassnah I like watching your face while you’re talking about light this guys chatting shit

I have a friend who has run a pair of thumps for 3 years! Never an issue and put out more than enough volume! Are they the nicest sounding speakers? Probably not, but you really can’t complain considering their price!

Yes, you could definitely use one of these as a single speaker for acoustic and vocals! I have used these for this quite a few times! You could run directly into the speaker too, as long as you use a DI for your acoustic. But I would definitely recommend using a mixer or something like the TC Helicon Voicelive, to get some effects and EQ on there! I’ve got a video on mixers and the Behringer Flow would be an ideal option for you!

Hey man, I love Italy! Beautiful country! You can’t go wrong with a Sansamp, either! Markbass make some great amps, especially the combos! I’m surprised a 1x12 doesn’t cut it, though! I went for the 15” here as it’s got a bit more low-end for supporting PA! I imagine you’ll just want another 1x12” cabinet? I’ve got a custom-made Zilla Ported 1x12, which I have only ever been asked to turn down! It’s a pity Markbass went back to all the Carpet for the MB58R cabs!

@GaryOnBass if I can, I will buy the cab version, with the same name. For now, I use the combo at home and for little gigs / clubs. Bye :)

@fermotramaglino great man!

Yeah that's a fair shout! FBT make some great speakers and the added DSP and upgraded drivers make that a great shout! Its just the plastic cab for me though! The X-Lite series are great for the price too! I do wish FBT would stick two side handles on their cabs though!

@@GaryOnBass Think the X Lites are made in China!....

@jm252 Yeah, most definitely for that price! FBT makes some great cabs, though. I am thinking of buying a couple of the Ventus 206A with some 12” subs!

I use to own the ZXA5’s as well. They got SuPER-DuPeR LOUD; however, the vocal would start to shrill and their biggest Achilles heal was their lack of a built-in limiter. If you’re not careful, you could blow them for sure! 😮 I’ve heard the FBT’s in the past and people always rate their sound quality as high. I hope they’ve gotten rid of those blue italicized logos. Their logos were always an eye-sore to me.

Had them as monitors for a while! Great form factor for monitors! FBT logo is still the same but much smaller than it was in the past!

Yeah, that will definitely work. I do worry about having extra weight on the jack like that, though. I can see it opening up quite a few P-Bass jacks, which is common enough already! My main reason for needing the different plug, and possibly others, is that my bass has a recessed jack socket, which means the Backbeat jack doesn't fit, so I had to swap it for the straight jack! Either way, though, if it works, then it's all good! I'm just pleased that they did give an option to pass through the back seat, as that wasn't on the initial design and would have counted me out!

@@GaryOnBass Man, the supplied cable IS a piece of crap!! I took it out today and when I put it in it is super flaky. I'm tossing it into the trash!

@aaronl7669 I’m sorry to hear that! But at least it’s a really easy fix!

These would be a great pairing! 🤟

I'm glad you enjoyed it! That would be a interesting shop, I think I could put together a good size rig for that amount, but it would be a long one! Haha

Ah that's a shame! IEMs are definitely the way! I did the exact thing and replaced my P1 with the backbeat! The input is a 3.5mm TRS Jack so you will probably need to adapt! I talk about how I do it in my IEM video! 👍

@GaryOnBass thanks Gary. Much appreciated 👍

That's good to hear! I've lost my trust in Alto I'm afraid so they will have to do a bit of work to earn it back! I find the QSC speakers just a bit too harsh!

@@GaryOnBass which alto’s did u have? I see a lot of qsc’s up for sale on fb marketplace. I’ll keep mine for a while longer for smaller venues. But ur rt, they do sound a bit (different) but hella loud.

@DjSmoothNY I had a pair of TS212 which were loud but I wasn't massively impressed with the sound. The person I sold them to had them die about 6 months later! So I'm not sure they made it far past a year old! I think QSC is reliable and load but just too harsh for me!

@@GaryOnBass Ah ok. QSC can definitely use a bit more high end but nothing eq can’t fix. CP12’s sound better to me than K.12’s. Far as Alto I totally understand. I’ve got a couple gigs coming up and I will use the TS415’s again and I’ll post a video or 2. I figured out how they made the improvements. 2 ohm going to the tweeter and 4 ohm to the woofer. Pretty smart. I’m optimistic this time around bc when I had got the TS3’s I returned them once I read the reviews about blowing up tweeters so I didn’t wanna risk being at a performance and have my shit blow up. lol.

@@GaryOnBass Btw, I used to be a Mackie Thump fan boy for decades

I think I'll have to get my hands on some and give them a go again!

This echoes my experience entirely! 🤟 I hope you enjoyed the video!

The sound good and isolate well. But to get that isolation they really clamp onto your ears! So I wouldn't want to use them for longer than a couple hours! I have done a day of recording with them before though! But they were off and on for that period!

Yeah I would say they would be great for that! The articulation and separation is great! Probably a little overkill in terms of how much SPL the speakers can put out! But I dont think you'll get a better sounding speaker! You can probably get a sub or two to go with them for that budget too! Which even if you are running on low would make a huge difference! The Yamaha subs are great as are the RCF subs I have reviewed also!

I used to do parties in a very small bar (approx. 40 square meters) for about 30 people with just one piece of dzr12 and birthday parties in a small venue (approx. 100 square meters) for 40-60 people with one DZR12 top & one DXS15 sub. Great sound, without any issues in the past 3 years. It takes up less space, since you stack the speakers on top of each other and you don't have to push so hard the top if you have a sub for the lower range. If I was you with that budget I would buy 1 Yamaha DZR12 with a Yamaha DXS15XLF - around 3 500 €. It would be overkill, but if you want sometimes to have a party outside with friends, it would be great. Or 1 Yamaha DZR10 with 1 DXS15 sub - 2 500 € Or if you stick to the two tops then buy 2 pieces of Yamaha DZR12.

Great to hear some hands on experience! I think I would always grab two tops for stereo sound but your right that its totally overkill in terms of volume! Haha one sub and one too would probably take you up to 100 people in most rooms!

Hey Man! I probably should! I haven't got any to take out with me at the minute, but I have used these a tonne as monitors! The Little PR:O 10XD are absolutely amazing stage monitors, and I know quite a few keys players who use and love them! Super portable, too!

@@GaryOnBass Thanks Gary. There aren't many UA-cam videos on these, but I like what i've read.

@KeysMcGhee No worries Ill do what I can! They are really quality sounding and built speaker for the money! Like I said in the video, not a whole lot of flexibility on the unit but that's why we have mixing desks!

Such a good value mixer! Do you use it?

The presonus is a great first step! They are really good desks! The Allen and Heath CQ and Touchmix both make mixing super easy!

Thanks Gary I'm here in my own music study right now delving more into frequency, I hate theory but I may take something from all this relate it back to my presonus desk and put into practice, to tame my 935's 😊 but I have taken a lot of solid honest advice from your clip here and even though I now use the old presonus I will check out your recommendations, another desk I was on the brink of buying prior to the presonus with advice from a qualified sound engineer with the INEC Ireland was the Behringer producer , but the price I did not have at the time and then the fact I was new to the digital era

The presonus is great! I'm sure it will do more than enough for what you need and its super tactile which is great for those new to digital mixing! The one thing to remember with EQ is if it sounds right then it is right! Its great to have loads of known frequencies in your back pocket but if something sounds better boosted/cut at a different frequency then that's the one to go for! There are far too many variables for specific frequencies to always be right/wrong!

Thanks Gary great advice, I'll keep this in mind when I use an empty location tomorrow and start from scratch , if you don't mind me asking you in regards to vocal effects on the presonus this is where I feel I fall down also ,moving from analogue the Dynacord 5/55 effects setting on my CMS 1000 never changed even with the band I like reverb and delay on my vocals ,but the presonus has me baffled as to what to use , too much reverb and delay can really destroy a performance, I was told to use the tap function for delay ,but honestly I don't have time to be tapping in between songs especially if the floor is full , hang on folks 2 seconds till i tap in the delay timing 🙂

@TheFendertak I havent used the presonus in a while but I can't imagine the settings are too dissimilar to what your used to! I think if your using a lot of delay with long tails then I would always tap it in! We are a three piece with backing tracks so I actually have mine synced to the click so I dont have to tap it in! If your using a short delay for fattening then tap tempo isn't as much of an issue! Again there's no real hard and fast rule here! I wouldjist go with what you feel works for you! When your on stage the nuances can matter far less as long as your putting on a good show!

Thanks so much! That is also what I have noticed so thought I may be some use! I dont think you necessarily made a mistake, RCF make some great speakers and they will last a lifetime! But they can take a bit of taming on the high end, the extra high end really helps for clarity but can build up over all your instruments! I would have a look through your EQ and see if you can cut some high end on your instruments! But try to leave what you can on vocals keep a bit of air and you should be golden!

Gary thanks so much !!!!!! I honestly was beginning to think last night if I was losing it , so to cut a long story short I was correct , and yes your 100% right here on saying the build up of highs on many instruments could and will make them sound piercing , also definitely need taming I have them running at 2 on the clock on linear DSP setting the Subs Behringer B1500XP 's ok I agree are indeed cheap subs and perhaps these were a waste , reason I got these was just to add a thump to the overall sound , told at few venues I play to turn them down and these are only 15" subs Gary , forgot about the fact on the DSP setting of the 935's I can light up the two green leds, taking out of Linear to BOOST the bass end of the 935's without the need of the subs , and taking on board what you said to do and possibly dial back to 12 or 1 on overall level , I believe there's a good throw from the 935's so maybe I don't have to push them as much , after asking for your help Gary and very much appreciated your time to reply I will go away from the thought of change and give my 935's another few nights on stage and hopefully with your advice I will eventually get to tame the beasts, which to add are beasts , they are an extremely powerful powerful cab and well made but like you said need taming ,just like wild horse LoL , and I think the adding of subs really was no help ,or is it , another night previously a guy approached me prior to starting and said Wow! to my 935's if only I had the money to buy these are actually better than the 945's he said , I replied I myself can't see how, my 935's I'm thinking of selling on , but also Gary this might explain why I can't get to sing with my Neumann KMS 105 because each night I use my Sennheiser E945 over the 105 and it's silent electronic earpiercing sound wave created when I bring up the fader level , so yeah your advice to revert to my EQ settings on my desk could in fact be the culprit here, and the answer I needed, I will definitely come back with my final thoughts both for band and DJ , keep up the excellent service you do ,you have just gained another fan 😉👍

@TheFendertak thank you! I really appreciate that! I think its a fairly common point of contention that some can find RCF speakers overly bright but its much easier to EQ something out then add it in! If you happy with the overall mix and sound then you can always just knock down the highs on the master! I'm actually working on a video about EQ at the minute! :) The subs will only help the tops, those behringer subs look quite powerful! Just make sure that your crossing them over effectively (probably at 80hz) and they should be fine! Definitely watch your input though! I can't imagine you needing more than 12 o clock on the gain in most indoor venues! Let me know how you get on!

Oh don't worry I will , the reason I poked out these subs was through a guy in America that uses both the 15 and 18 but said honestly he advised me go for the 15's as there really is no substantial difference noticeable between the 2 , and honestly Gar when I'm being told most of the time to turn them down why in earth would I go for 18's and even go down the road of buying high-end subs , the RCF's came highly recommended to me and would break my heart to sell them and possibly end up being sorry later , but as your constructive honest pro advice now makes me think twice I will try to tame the RCF's high end 😊

Hi again Gar, I promised I would get back to you with my final thoughts and experience on my RCF's after now putting to bed a few gigs , yes I still have them and my subs , taking into account your recommendations , valid sound appreciated advice ,the subs are indeed performing much better , the RCF's I did leave on Linear and I still have them each night at the clock 2 setting , I did drop back to 11 and 12 and listening level dropped dramatically, so instead I dropped the gain on my microphone and tamed the HF on my Presonus 16:4:2 desk to one led above 0 , also now selling my Neumann Kms 105 , I now use the Sennheiser E945 mic and the sound is magic , last night I brought in my flight case of mics ,from the sm58 to beta 58a and sm 57 , byer dynamic 69tg and m88tg to Freddy mercury Shure 565SD I had to have it after I watched the movie lol, but the Sennheiser E945 comes out on top every time ,I thought the famous Kms 105 would top all mics , but really this is most suited to studio , no good when most of the time my pa speakers are fairly close on small stages , so to shorten my story ,I'm holding onto my RCF's for now and sticking to my E945 and possibly going to buy another mic recommended to me Audix OM7 or 5 ,I don't know seems a never ending battle when dealing with audio Gary , maybe you might consider doing a future review on today's mics available and which you consider to be the best , i do notice though with online clips no one ever seems to say a certain mic is considered the best only asked what we think , not ideal , I will say from all mics right now the Sennheiser E945 is a winner for me , so thanks once again for your help so far Gary , I can now relax and look in on a few more of your excellent UA-cam video reviews and perhaps learn something new ,after all every day is a school day 😊

Yeah, you should 100% be able to get the gain higher that 3/4 without clipping! Although saying that, if you want real bass that hits hard, you probably need a sub! A really good 15" (maybe not the Mackie) will get down there, but you still want a sub if you want real lows and for it to hit! But in this lineup, I am looking at tops for bands that will mainly be running vocals!

@@GaryOnBass oh. am a bedroom dj who also do few family parties and looking for 2 speakers which can provide loud sound and give good bass as i dont use sub. checked the thump 215 also but still no good bass nor loud sound. maybe the way they connected the speaker during testing. they used a laptop connected to a Mackie 2049000-01 Dl32S 32-Channel Mixer Wireless Digital Live Sound and which was connected to the speakers. but still, it should have provided good sound as the amplifier is on the speaker.

@yan5362 my DJ gear knowledge is pretty limited but I have seen the older thump212 do live sound for larger groups with subs without a problem! If your looking for more low-end then I would probably check out something with a wooden box which has been effectively ported! It may get you closer to what you need!

Yeah I can see that being a great shout too! I haven't actually heard or used one though! What makes it stand out for you?

@@GaryOnBass loudness, bass response, effects app, portability, long battery ...everything 🤷🏻‍♂️

@saint.adrian at double the cost though! Haha they all have advantages in different ways! The Yamaha Stagepas200 is great too as another option!

@@GaryOnBass double the cost is nothing if it's your job...my opinion

That's a brand they dont sell over here! Possibly a Guitar Centre rebadge? I haven't heard one so I really can't speak on it unfortunately!

A lot of people really rate the PRX series! But for me RCF or Yamaha are pretty unbeatable at that price point!
