Hi All,
This question has been addressed in bits here and there, but I'd like to see if anyone has some more-focused thoughts.
Are there any aspects of the PA speakers/monitors that that make them particularly suitable for dialing in PA-compatible patches at home? I realize that the different PAs, soundguys, etc., are inevitable unknowns, but are there any constants that some speakers would help me plan for better than others?
In order of concern, I'd like the speaker to do the following:
1) Help me dial in patches that will sound good FOH
2) Sound great just for playing around in the house
3) Serve as a personal monitor for gigs
Background: I just stumbled into a once-a-month gig where I'll be traveling 100+ miles and setting up without much time to dial whatever PA I'll be stuck with.
I ordered an 8ma before I discovered the backorder; I can't wait that long. I am now trying to get out to GC as soon as I can to try the QSC K10 and K12. I'm also eyeing the HPR122i, though I'm pretty sure it will be overkill for my needs.
Please toss some wisdom in my direction. Thanks!
