Diesel Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi,It now looks like I've become the band's sound engineer by osmosis, so I have a another noobie question...After spending too much time humphing gear around and experiencing an issue with the reverb box (Midiverb 4) at last night's gig, I decided to sell off the existing mixer (advertised on here) and poweramp(s) and go for an integrated solution.I'm a fan of Mackie kit. so I'm thinking about the PPM608 which has everything I need in one portable box.The output is 2 x 500w and my question is ... will that be sufficient power for for venues the size of say, The Tunnels?The amp will be driving vox only and maybe the kick drum.Thanks in advance.

Sam 45 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 That would probably only do you a venue of 100 capacity. Also it doesn't seem to have pre-fade auxillaries that you were asking about the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it doesn't seem to have pre-fade auxillaries that you were asking about the other day.Thanks again Sam, I was just about to post a picture of tumbleweed or maybe re-submit my post, disguised under a more worthy AB-Music title, like - "When did you taste your first Pot Noodle" or "Have you ever chugged <fave AB-Music bod> off in The Moorings toilets".I'd be happy if 100 punters turned up at one of our gigs (place was pretty packed on Saturday though), but I might go for the PPM1008 (2 x 800) for more headroom. It's only £60 more anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davetherave Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 2x 800 should be man enough for the job, match it up to some high efficiency speakers with good SPL and it should be fine for tunnels 1 or 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Job done - I went for the PPM1008.Sam, the pre-fade isn't an issue any more and thanks for the advice guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I tasted my first Pot Noodle aged 16, for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
