brainwave-generator Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Mate I'm not being funny, but you are running a commercial sound hire company. http://www.starliteleisure.co.uk/ I think you should change the angle of your posts a bit for better responses. Asking a specific question such as "are there any types of speakers which are particularly good for outdoor use" or "are there any amps out there which are particularly efficient as I am running off a small temporary supply" will wield much more useful answers, than asking "I want to build a mobile stage, can you spec out a rig for me". People come on here in their spare time to discuss things which interest them. They don't come on here in their spare time to do your job for you. If you are charging money as a commercial sound company, there is no way that you should be expecting other people to spec systems for you. You should be more than capable of doing that alone. I think if you want more response from this site you should just change the angle of your posts a bit to open up creative discussion, rather than simply asking people to do free work for you.

azlan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Just a couple of questions to help narrow down what might be suitableare you anticipating enough work that it is more suitable to buy a system than simply rent when needed?what sort of budget do you have for the system?you say you want to cover 200 people, but do you want to be able to blow there heads off with volume, or just be able to hear the band whilst talking?do you already have microphones, mixing desk etc. or do these all need to be factored into the budgetdo you need stage monitoring from the same budget?

Simon Lewis Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Well excuse me for asking ill not bother To be fair, you want a "loud, cheap, decent sounding system" that can handle a band outdoors but you can't afford new gear because that'll be too expensive? Two bins and a top each side could range from a few hundred quid to several tens of thousands. Azlan has asked some pertinent questions, and Brainwave raises the issue that a certain level of knowledge and professionalism is needed in this business. We are not saying you do not have these, but are merely pointing out your posts do not provide sufficient information - or reassurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two bins and a top each side could range from a few hundred quid to several tens of thousands. Azlan has asked some pertinent questions, and Brainwave raises the issue that a certain level of knowledge and professionalism is needed in this business. We are not saying you do not have these, but are merely pointing out your posts do not provide sufficient information - or reassurance. My main point really was that if you want to start a topic that gets lots of responses, it is good to write first posts that enthuse people to write back, and discuss, and converse, and all the good stuff. Both of the OPs 2 topics he's started, have really just said "here's my problem, tell me what I need so I can go and buy it". It's really not anybody's job to choose what you need, when you're a commercial PA company. If I was booking a sound company I would be horrified to think that their knowledge of sound gear was such that they based their purchases on what some guy on the internet said. Nobody on this forum has the time (nor energy) to sit on Blue Room all night and write out specs for people, out of the goodness of their heart. But many of the members do have the time to sit and discuss specific issues, such as which speakers work well outdoors, or put up with bad weather well, or whatever. So using these facts to help you choose a PA system are perfectly good. But I would have said that if you aren't capable of deciding which amp power you need to run your speakers, then you're not really ready to be running a sound company anyway. And the solution to the problem is to get enough knowledge and experience to do so; not to simply hand the responsibility over to an internet forum!

paulears Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm confused. You already have a nice system you hire out, so why not use that, or buy more of the same so you can do bigger and smaller jobs?http://www.starliteleisure.co.uk/uploads/images/sound-system-hire.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMitchell Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Perhaps it would be useful if you discussed why you are finding the Martin Audio system you currently have, to be unsuitable... a little tweaking could save you a lot of money, as you appear to have something potentially more than adequate to cover FOH for 200 people outdoors.

nothingatall666 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 'The trailer can be supplied with or without a presenter and the option of a 5000 watt Martin Audio PA system.' If you have this system already then is there need to change? or could it just be developed? ..I wont even go in to your use of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
