Looking to get a pair of powered (active) speakers, probably 12" full-range, for portable use.
I want these speakers to be "all purpose," able to be used as monitor wedges or on pole stands. They could be used as FOH mains or as delay fills or for piping sound into overflow areas.
I currently have a pair of Yamaha S112IV 12" speakers driven by a Mackie FR Series M-1400 power amp that I use as my FOH mains. They are working fine -- I have no plans to retire them. Even so, I need some more speakers to round out my system and want the versatility of powered speakers. I realize there are some drawbacks to powered speakers, but I'm willing to live with that.
The system is use portable -- not permanently installed -- in venues from 100 to 500 indoors and outdoors, mostly for spoken word. When used for music, the venue is usually less than 200. Music style is praise & worship with guitar & keyboard, no drums (yet).
Any recommendations?
