benweblight Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 8x par 56's (300w), 2x Tbar stands, simple controller (I'd recommend a foot operated one). Theres some packages of this kind on thing available, I'll look for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychedelic Theatre Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 You'll struggle to find anything for under £200. As Ben said, your best bet is looking for a package with some Pars a couple of T-stands, a couple of Alphapack stle dimmer packs (they run off a 13A socket, and have either 3 or 4 channels (Alphapacks have 3, but you can get much cheaper 4 channel packs, which have 4 channels, usually they're IEC outputs.) and a simple controller. To get 4 x Par64s, a T-stand, a dimmer pack, and a simple controller you're probably looking at between £200 and £300 at Thomann Cyberstore or Terralec. I would recommend getting something like that, and gradually adding to it when you have the money. Try and resist going for the cheesy disco type effects, a nice small rig of Parcans look much much nicer on stage! Hope that helps, Tim Sorry to double post, but are you looking to buy? Or to hire? I think James' reccomendation was a hire package, rather than a purchase package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychedelic Theatre Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Ok, you're basically in the same situation I was...I was lucky and got given a pile of stuff which started me on my way. For about £500 you can get 8 Parcans a couple of T-bars, a couple of dimmer packs, and a simple control. So it may be an idea to start saving...or start with something smaller. As I said previously, you can get a basic set-up of stand, dimmer, control, and 4 cans for about £200-300, so that's probably your best bet if you want it soon-ish! Is it just you buying it? Or is it a group effort? If it's just you, get the rest of the band to put some money in aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
