I have this system now and it does a good job for what I use it for. The only thing is the stands are a little weak

I use my Peavey Escort for all my events. No one has ever complain. I own 4 Peavey Escorts.People are amazed at what it does.

I use the Escort 3000 for wedding ceremonys. It sounds great but I wouldn't consider it for dance music. If you're DJing dance music I'd go with powered speakers and a DJ mixer.

This is a great system,very easy to set up and break down. Very portable and the most important part sounds great. I use it mostly for educational seminars, and I can see it being great for parties or small events.

for each speaker. are they worth it? VERY MUCH SO! I have the dv64's and the acoustech pl-26 center speaker also. no regrets!

There is only one input and one volume control so you would also need a mixer so you could control the individual sound sources you were tryiny to mix. These speakers would be excellent monitor speakers for a mixing setup.

Its not really a mixer for dj use. You need a mixer with a usb out. This one does not have that.

Depends. What type of event will be going on? Small intimate or crazy basketball like. I will say this, as far as the wireless mini speakers goes, this will be your loudest. Its definitely loud enough for a backyard BBQ with say 20 guest

This mixer does not have a powered amplifier to drive speakers built into it. It works great with powered speakers, and you could also use it with external amplifiers to drive your speakers.

Hi Robert- as a musician, I would say sound quality and ambience with this speaker are very good. If your party is just a fee kids, it might be loud enough for background music, but if it's a larger group and/or the kids are looking to dance, I would advise something with at least double or triple the wattage rating of this unit. Cheers,

I use a small Behringer mixer in our system. It allows me to plug in a keyboard, an extra mic, and a couple of guitars. Works fine. There are better sound systems for sure, but for the money this setup is perfect for our little chapel.

Justin -Nice, very powerful speakers to began with (700 Watts). For PA, something like an XR 8300 wound be a good choice (2 x 300 Watts).That would give you 300W to the mains and 300W to the monitors.If you want to elaborate, please give me a call.Thanks,Hugh800-806-7774318-614-0422 Cell

I would say get a JBL eon powered speaker. My Behringer puts out muddy sound, and the same music or live instruments sound a lot better with the JBL that my friends have.

Thank you all for the response, I am seriously considering getting a couple of these for my mobile DJ setup. Your help is greatly appreciated!

These are great for bands. Most DJ's settle on these now and the bands go with the FL-155pc which have a tighter tone and flatter frequency response. But either is a great band application. When it comes down to it a good speaker is a good speaker. We designed these to be the best speaker you can get for this amount. The same with the FL series, which costs a little more, but all that money goes into the quality of the product.

Yes to both. We have been very happy with this mixer. If I had to do it over again, I would have spent a few dollars extra and picked up the X1204USB, the model with the built-in reverb and effects.

you can use a mixer or a preamp. you should not plug this in directly to speakers

It has some nice features for small situations like you're describing. Also does nicely as a mixer for a starter studio. This model may fit your budget, but I'd also look at the 14ZED60FX. 4 XLR inputs may seem like a lot. On my first outing with this I used every XLR, and I was sure 4 was *more* than I needed. This is a terrific mixer - lots of features and intentional quality.

I recommend either the Str8 or the St. They're both fantastic tables. I use the str8's for mixing house and for personal single listening of rock albums. I have owned many decks, and these are excellent.

From personal experience, if you are planning on using this for DJing (which you may not be since most mixers have a phono preamp), these receivers are not the way to go. Because of the processing, etc, it will cause a large delay between the audio you are getting from the mixer and the audio you will be hearing over the speakers. I use a separate, basic receiver for DJing with separate speakers instead of using the home's surround sound (which would have been awesome). Hope that helps.
