Coming up in a few months, there will be a gathering of about 100 people in a venue that (legally) supports that number. I don’t have a lot of experience in sound systems for larger than maybe a home theater and not sure something like that would be practical for the event. The music will be from a phone or laptop I don’t need audiophile approval just good enough for kids and inebriated adults to dance to.
I have found an option already but don’t know what to really look for. Samsung MX-T70 seems promising. But if anyone has better suggestions I’d very much appreciate it. Details are as follows…
The room (indoors) area is approximately 1500 square feet with ceilings about 20 foot up. I am unable to access the ceilings or attach anything to the walls but floor is fair game. The music can be at the dance floor area which is about 400 square feet.
Some sort of microphone input would be needed
Wall power is available but cables that would need to go between speaker units would have to be run.
The music can originate at the dance floor area and does not have to carry evenly throughout the entire room.
Like he said, if it is a one time event then renting out from a service company should cost you anywhere from 2-300USD … ask for a pair of powered PA speakers and a mixer that can have a mic input and a line in input (for the phone)
You can go direct to the speakers with both mic and phone, but line out level /bluetooth from the phone will suck (volume will be really low), bad, and you wil think your speakers suck, where in reality it’s just your phone out that isn’t giving out enough volts …
No the equipment isn’t permanent. Renting could be an option. I would have to see what places would be willing to rent equipment out.
Thank you for the suggestions and links I will add that to my list to check out when I have a minute. I will also check into rental equipment if there is a local place that does it. I appreciate the advice and info
