Mic stand mountable speaker.

 

 

Hi All,

 

I need some small (pos active speakers) that will fit on mic stands.... I Have show coming up and key players would rather have small mointors at head hight rather then IEM...

 

Any suggestions? Cheaper the better!

Some friends of mine get very good results from Peavey Impulse 6 boxes.

 

It used to be possible to get Evid 3.2 cabinets with an adaptor to fit on mic stands, but the adaptors were discontinued last time I looked. We used them very successfully in some small installs.

We used to use the Yamaha MS101's in church as monitors; they were pretty grim - despite a built in amplifier they only have unbalanced inputs.

Yep! I've had exactly the same experience. The MS101s certainly didn't make the musicians happy.

I've used JBL Control 1 speakers when forced into this but it's not a happy solution. Unless you can mount the speaker directly behind the mic (which, by definition, generally means blocking any view of a singer's face) the monitor is getting close to the mic and not in the best null position. Wash from the monitor feed has always been an issue for me when trying to work this way.

The Behringer B205D has (how shall we put it?) some similarities to the Mackie. There's also the Wharfedale WPM-1 which is quite small. Both of these are cheap boxes - though the Behringer (we use one) sounds OK.The Galaxy boxes are available active or passive, and can go very loud indeed!

 

You might find a hypercardiod vocal mic a better match - the null is in a position that is a bit easier to match up to the speaker location than a cardioid.

Yeah, that was my solution when I was forced to use stand-mounted monitors--though that created its own set of problems since the vocalists weren't used to mics being so directional.
