Hey there, community.

Tomorrow I'll (hopefully) be making my first big ticket purchase in terms of music/audio equipment.

 
It's a Yorkville Sound - YX15P 200 Watt 15+1-inch Powered PA Speaker.
Okay, everything's bolded all of a sudden. I'll get used to this forum soon enough.
Anyways, back to topic.

I have a Mackie mixer (profx12) and I have 4 QSC K12 speakers. I use these at my temple as our sound system. I have the mixer in the sound booth and the speakers outside the sound booth. I am running two XLR cables out of the booth from the mixer to the speakers. I use one XLR cable for two speakers.

what can you recommend?

MUST BE OUTDOOR-PROOF

passive, 10-15" woofer, 250+ watts

suggestions?

Can speaker stands really make a difference to the sound you hear?

Hello and its good to be here!

The system runs well, and all so if I go direct through the laptop mic out, all is good, but I try and get sound though the Alpha via the headphone out to my main speakers, nothing, just plays though the little laptop speakers. All OTHER system sounds etc play just fine via the Alpha - GREAT! NOT!

Hi There,
I have a bit of a problem. I have my own project studio (24 track hard disk and a 48 channel mixer with a bunch of hard synths). I use Sonar and Sibelius for everything.

Greetings everyone ! I'm (of course) new here but have experimented in home recordings since '05.
I have a small DAW in a spare bedroom. Im PC and run Sonar 5 (yeah, thats old), but its mostly for song creation and being able to play along with.
I've just recently retired from the "bar" scene as a guitarist, and have 4 PA speakers.
2) JBL JRX125

I have concerns about overpowering/under-powering my passive speakers during live church recordings. I have two large speakers that are powered by an external amplifier (these are passive speakers). There are NO settings on the speakers themselves. All you can do is plugin the audio cable.

It's a tale you've heard many a time before... my song sounds great (to me) in headphones, but thins out to hell on my monitors.

Hello, I'm new to your forums. Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong spot, but..
