andycat Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi all, Our PE department have PA speakers on the wall in the Gym, but the previous sound system (line mixer, amp, cd player, Tape deck, wireless mic) got trashed, was too complicated and therefore skipped, by them (!!!) What they want is a simple Amp with CD player and a line in input for an Ipod. One unit, but say 150W RMS a side. does such a thing exist?

Shez Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Whilst I'm not a huge fan, Coomber make kit that's ideally suited for this kind of application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanHerbert Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 You could look at the Phonic Powerpod Range (www.phonic.com) you'd need a Cd player to go with it but could also plug a few mics etc into it on the occassion if you need it for that? Also you could plug an iPod in using the stereo RCA input! Let me know if you require further info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycat Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 We have loads of Coombers, portable PA's etc. They just want a one fixed box solution, that the dumbest of dance teachers can use. The speakers are already 20ft in the air with sockets on the wall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 They just want a one fixed box solution, that the dumbest of dance teachers can use. That sums up Coombers nicely. The ones I've encountered have a connection for external speakers so would seem to be perfect for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benweblight Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Adastra make a few products like thisi.e. http://avslgroup.com/product/952.916UK Also might be worth looking at Stageline/Monacor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the Speaker out socket is line level, to take to a powered speaker as far as I can see. thanks anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they must have changed their ideas then - the two older ones sat in my office have amplified outputs for direct connection to speakers. Shame.

robloxley Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 How about INTER-M PAM-340A with CD module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaize110 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Whilst I'm not a huge fan, Coomber make kit that's ideally suited for this kind of application. Our PE dept have a variety of Coombers and they seem to suit the purpose very well. You just need to know how many badminton courts you need to fill :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound In Gloucestershire Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 cant vouch for this product, but had seen it in a brochure and thought it was interesting http://avslgroup.com/product/170.697UK seems to be sold about £280 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnno Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Our school has a Phonic Powerpod which I use with a domestic Radio/CD/Cassette player plugged in via its earphone output when un-adept staff members or pupils want to make noise. As most people are familiar with that sort of unit I can just set it up and leave them to it. iPods and laptops get plugged in via the same lead which usually goes to the amp's tape input, without any hum problems. If more sources are needed (awards evening last night needed all three sources mentioned) I just plug them into the channel line inputs. Cheap 'n' cheerful, basically.
