Title: Anyone know of a good portable sound system?
Post by: Andrew Evans on November 13, 2007, 12:59:05 PM
Our church is looking for a good portable sound system that can be used in various locations of the church and outside the church.  Does anyone know of a good system?  We have looked at the Yamaha Stagepas 500 and at the Fender systems.  Does anyone have opinions of those systems?  Just looking for some help.

Andrew,

You might get better response if you posted this in the Church Sound forum rather than the H.O.W. AV forum.

You're going to have to give a little more information such as what you plan to use it for, how big a space and/or audience is to be served, how many and what type of inputs you need to address, your budget (and don't forget that your budget may need to also cover speaker cables, speaker stands, mic cables and so on), etc.  It helps to know what you want to do with it in order to provide any constructive comments.

Added:  Perhaps the comment "Does anyone know of a good system?" was misinterpreted.  Are you wanting comments on those two particular systems and suggestions for comparable systems or are you wanting suggestions for what would be a "good system" for you?  The latter is what would require a better definition of the application and your expectations.

If the Fender or Stage pas will meet your needs, inputs audience size etc...

The Yamaha SP500 is much better sounding than the Fender...I have heard/used them both.

Take a look at Anchor Audio - they'll have practically anything and everything you'd want in a portable package.
