[@thesolojourney8955]

I did labor work for setup and take down for side cash for many mobile DJs. Most did all sorts of events between 50-500 people. Small setups were always 2 - 12” tops or 2 - 15” tops. Nobody ever used 15” subs because they always used 18” subs, Medium setups were usually 2 tops and 2 subs. Large setups was usually 4 tops and 4 subs. JBL, QSC, Yorkville, EV, RCF all got used. Some used 8” and 10” speakers for side fills or for monitors. 12” and 15” were always for main tops. Dual 18” subs rarely got used, I have even seen single 21” subs as well which rarely got used also. Few had cargo vans, box trucks, and trailers to pull heavy equipment. Most common speakers were QSC K12 or RCF HDM45A and most common subs were QSC KW181 or Yorkville ES18P. Basically to sum it up, 8” and 10” tops are rare, 12” and 15” tops are mains. 15” and 21” subs are rare, 18” subs are mains.

[@13bcoffee]

Guys keep in mind that it's very easy to overdo things at weddings. When I first started out I used to bring big systems and when I got there I often discovered that the venue or the crowd did not want to get blasted out of the place. Often my systems were overkill. I learned that it's better to just bring enough. That also allowed me to play solo without an assistant since the setup was easier and lighter. So now I use an RCF Evox 8 and will sometimes bring my 15 inch sub. The Evox gets the job done at weddings and bdays of 100 or even 150 guest. The way that I play I like to push bass so I like to bring that sub. It would be cool to have an 18 inch sub or two but now the setup turns into a 2 man gig. I should mention that I push the Evox to it's max with my crowds of 100 to 150.

[@DJEmirMixtapes]

Yeah, I'm torn between that huge boom or get that boom at a smaller compact system. I totally want the QSC KS118's but then I'm thinking do I really need that? I already Have 2 older JBL EON518 subs and they are light at 65 lbs but I bet there are nice 12" and 15" subs that are light and probably louder with deeper bass than what I already have at a more portable and easier set up. It is so hard as a mobile DJ without a huge van and time and man power LOL The casters on the QSC's make sense and help roll in other equipment but if there are stairs I can at the moment carry my JBL's solo up stairs as i used to stopre them in the basement and carry them up each gig LOL Bad set ups Now they are in my garage or my storage unit. - DJEmir.com of DenversBestDJs.com

Nice job, been doing this 20 years and nice to have an accurate instruction for all the new guys thinking that a pair of entry level speakers and a laptop gets them ready for any size/type of gig.

[@MrDJMikieMike]

I use either use 2 12” EV Tops or QSC’s for Weddings one trick I learned over the years is not to have your speakers at ear or face level with the guest. My son who does my setup for me is 6’4” tall and the bottom of the speakers are near the middle of his forehead. We have been complimented on this because we weren’t blasting out the eardrums of the guest and the music fills the room. As for sub(s) for a wedding depending on the venue we use 1 12” sub. Proms/Semi Formals we will use 4 12” EV Speakers and 2 18” subs again that’s for a large Venue for medium size venue we drop back down to our normal setup described above. All the music is concentrated towards the dance floor. It’s not how loud you can make the music it’s the clarity of the music.

Thank you bro I'm planning to buy two active speakers. Your video is helping a lot to make a good decision

[@BAADSessions]

I use touring level speakers to do my Weddings & corporate events (most Weddings are ~100-150 people but I often work with corporate crowds of 500-1000). I don't use the same speakers for each event though, my typical Wedding setup is 2x d&b audiotechnik E8 (tops), 2x d&b audiotechnik E15-X (subs) and 1x d&b audiotechnik D20 amplifier. This small touring grade system (8" tops and 15" subs) will easily cover up to 250 people. It costs more than double what a typical 'pro level' DJ setup does but it's much higher quality sound (from actual frequency response to transients, mid-range resolution, non harsh HF and better dispersion) and in a much lighter package (tops are 16lbs, subs are 53lbs each with a single 4ch 22lbs amplifier to power everything). Not all touring systems need to be big and heavy. For a large corporate event I'll use a pair of Q7 tops, 4x B6 subs and then have my E12-D and E8 as side-fills on a smaller D6 amplifier. I know what you're saying about us being here to make money, but you only have to buy the speakers once. I see A LOT of DJs sink thousands into a PA system only to do the same again 2 years later when something newer comes out. The last d&b E series speakers were released over 10 years ago and the design hasn't changed, Q series was released in 2003 and discontinued in 2015. They don't release a new model of the same speaker every year the way the lower end companies do. Over the course of 5-10 years the total bill won' t be much different to what I've spent. My speakers hold their value too, so if I go to sell them I know I'm getting a bigger percentage of the initial cost back. d&b actually raise their 'new' prices ~5% across the board every year so a £1000 speaker bought today may cost £1250 after 4-5 years, that means I can sell it for closer to the £1000 mark in 5-10 years time. DJ level speakers tend to go DOWN in price in my experience (I'm pretty sure QSC K series was more expensive when it was initially launched compared to just before it was discontinued, for example).

I'm experimenting with a EXTRMELY modular and portable setup where I have MANY speakers that run on lifepo4 batteries and also can run lighting due to each having an inverter. I have 4 sets put together. They each consist of a 10 inch sub on 900w RMS and a 6.5 inch woofer, and two 4 inch mids(200w RMS). Each one seems to be good for up to 100 people. the setup actually doesn't consist of a single PA speaker at all and people LOVE it.

Beginer mistake. I had just built my quad 12" tops, with a set of 2 15" subs I had made special enclosures for (hit 13hz during testing), a About 45% of power output, and people where telling me it was too loud. I totally overkilled the small venue with 100 people. I was just trying to offer my best product. Now on the other hand, I tried to make a deal with my friend (sound engineer) in a small town (mostly outdoors events), his immediate response, You're gonna need a digital processor and better bass speakers. And the now, Im building the 4th 18" box to start school dance promotions for the upcoming year graduations.😅.

Those QSC K12's have been the best investment I have made as an upgrade I got the original K12's version 1's and they pretty much kill every event just fine solo even without a sub, I pair them with my JBL Eon 518 18" subs and it is enough to do just about any size event, I recently added two JBL Eon 712's ( I was looking for QSC K12.2's but they didn't have any at Guitar Center due to pandemic related supply issues :( I needed the two extra speakers that day because they surprised me with we need indoor and outdoor and a turn around the corner outside as well, turns out I probably could have used my 8" KRK studio monitors to add sound to the indoor and the two QSC and Two subs filled everything outside just fine so I probably could have waited for another event for the QSCs to become available. One thing that helps is adding the Ultimate Speaker stands as you can set the speaker then raise the poles very easily. I have had to lower the volume multiple times at outdoor events as the QSC's even at half 12 o'clock position is usually more than enough for most events, paired with two QSC KS118's. or JBL VRX subs will do just about anything. Maybe add two extra tops and spread them a little further out. Love to move to the touring side but getting that touring money is the hard part. DJEmir.com DenversBestDJs.com

I am planning to sell it and change it to JBL - IRX ONE All-In-One Portable Bluetooth Line Array Speaker System with 3-Channel Mixer. Do you think this is a way to go? Thanks

[@isettech]

DJ Rick, I have to respectfully disagree on using column array speakers outdoors. First the reasons. 1 An array speaker has a tighter pattern. A vertical array has a reduced vertical dispersion. This is great outdoors for ceremonies for better reach to the back rows as less power is shot into the sky. 2 Indoors one placed horizontally can reach better in a long narrow room with less power thrown against the side walls making bad reflections in the rear. We all have had to deal with the long narrow chapel. Raise an array and place it horizontal. This can be useful indoors and in some outdoor settings depending on the seating spread for a ceremony. Small arrays are not disco dance speakers. Don't even consider it. They are more useful where a controlled sound pattern in the midrange is desired.

It's true that sound perception is subjective, but that's why we have standards and scientific ways of measuring what good sound sounds like. You could always try to tune a room flat and set that as a benchmark and move from there based on what you like the most. Using tools such as Smaart and inexpensive calibration mics can take you long ways on that path.

The venue informed us the day of wedding about these restrictions also they informed us they have their own audio system, which were 2 12” Berhinger speakers mounted horizontally on opposite walls of the venue approximately 20 to 25 feet off the floor. The speakers were mounted facing each other, as for the speakers where the guests were seated the venue had small round speakers in the drop ceiling and about 8’ apart and staggered throughout that area.

Home stereo speakers is the way to go. Cinema series. I have them in my house there great

[@jeromealvesmarujo8216]

Thank you a lot, nobody talk about free partys, i need a system for almost 50 ou 75 people, i think i gonna buy the 3rd one. Thank you a lot

[@speakuscorner]

Very informative, I used to use 2 x Mackie 15s for pub gigs with a small band set up. I recently bought an old PA system made up of 2 Peavey pro 15, 1 QTX sub 15 & 2 Alpha SM12 wedge monitors. It is old equipment & im looking to use it for band function events, till I can buy some more modern speakers.

[@brentmeder]

Great explanation, thank you. I use 2 Presonus 15" AIR tops with 18" Presonus AIR subs and can generally easily handle up to to 300 people indoors and 250 outdoors.

[@Tim_ArtistName_Tallent]

Hey would this be great for hip hop? Loud and clear but with a lot of bass ?

[@Chillywilly9000]

Same question bout the hip hop

[@aftech7268]

I love the mackie thumps - portability and light and has the bass

Random question... for a 4,500 square foot room with 14' foot ceilings, what kind of audio equipment are we running. Expecting about 150 people tops.

[@DJRickWeb]

2 beginner tops can do 150 people. But two intermediate would be better. For a more full range add a sub or two. But dont need much

[@pizanleo]

I have a bose l1 searies 2 with 2 bass bins with t1 and t2 mixers. Mine can do a 1500 person room.. I've used it for some bass gigs too.

[@michaelwemhoff7577]

Is it ok to go bigger and then turn the volume down

[@thedjwillied]

Love your channel brother! Loving my PRX 812W tops. Pairing them with a single 18 sub for large rooms until I can get a couple VRX 15. Thanks for the knowledge you throw out there for us!!

[@Andrew-cz4vp]

Hey bro I'm gonna start throwing moshpit rap and hip hop parties again. Is this enough for up to 500 people in a large venue?

[@thedjwillied]

@@Andrew-cz4vp no sir! You're gonna need more meat than that. If you're doing targeted audio (vs flooding the entire room) you might get away with 2 15s over 18s. And that's a long shot! You'd have much better success with 2 sets of speakers. Depending on the layout of the space and target sweet spot, either 12s over 18s or 15s over 18. It really depends on the throw you need and how far you need to spread your speakers out.

[@stevebassman8965]

What do you think about the harbinger vari4412 and 4415? A lot of people don't recommend them and if you did recommend it, what category would you consider it to be beginner or intermediate? I'm not sure what the difference is between beginner Pro and intermediate with the exception of wattage and box volume + motor and voice coils on the drivers. With that said, every manufacturer uses fake wattage so it's hard to discern which ones are better with just specs. Some people exaggerate more than others just like companies....

[@DJRickWeb]

Don't recommend harbinger anymore for lasting over time

[@mariorivas3885]

My best equipment is: For tops: 2 RCF 945, Subs: 2 Qsc 118. Believe me, you can easily handle 500-600 people in a large venue. And Easily 400-500 people for open environments. I am planning to buy another 2 RCF and 2 Qsc. Only because i love too much this combination jaja

[@Andrew-cz4vp]

Would one of each work for 500 max people at an inside venue hip hop and rap party?

[@mariorivas3885]

@@Andrew-cz4vp Hi bro, i completely changed my mind about the Turbosound Iq15 I previously said for tops. These are not what i expected. Instead what I can TOTALLY recommend you RCF for tops, WHAT AN INSANE COMBINATION! Believe me, you can throw Hip hop, rap, Techno and it will sound fantastic

[@BenoitLBT]

Hi Rich Where would you put the Maui 28 G3 in this presentation? Would you do an Afro Latino dance school party indoor and outdoor with this Maui 28 G3? Or you recommend more to have 2x RCF 712 + 1x 705 sub or maybe more the RCF 9 series or 2x ELX/EKX 12P + 1x ELX/EKX 15 sub ? As you can see I'm a bit lost here. But the application is not for a wedding it's for Salsa Bachata UrbanKiz and Reggeaton. I do indoor event around 100 people but also outdoor event with 250 people. I also look for portability because I will carry always these babies with me in European SUV Can you give me your advice on speakers please ?

[@DJRickWeb]

28 G3s are good up to 100 people.

A set of beginner tops

[@thesolojourney8955]

JBL EON712 or 715 , get 2 of them to start with and buy 2 subs later that are 18”.

[@Rickky007]

I still use jbl jrx125 , but I upgraded the drivers to Selenium D220Ti 1" Titanium Horn Driver for the top & the mids JBL 2226H 15" High-Power LF Driver.

Hi my man are the 2226Hs good for midbass of nah i like them but have never heard one or even a pair of them.

OP, I’m not sure if you can answer this for me, but I’m looking for either a PA system or something like a JBL Partybox to use as speakers for an outdoor projector for the occasional movie night. Do you have any suggestions?

[@DJRickWeb]

Depends. I recommend the party boxes all day long. I have a bunch of friends of course that ask me about speakers for personal use and thats my go to. It never disappoints.

Going to have to sacrifice quality of sound but possibly. Maybe a mackey thrash

[@eddieB2008]

Hi Rick, i’m not a DJ but play in a rock band and was looking for powered speaker advice. I kind of like the Mackie sound. How does Mackie rate compared to the JBL and EV?

[@DJRickWeb]

Not really. JBL and EV are better

[@kevinlsfv]

I have found that two top QSC 15 with and EV ELX18 Sub, these produce the best sound for both small and larger venues both inside and out

[@isaacsimbwa5444]

Hello Kev, what number of people do you consider large? Would that set up cover 500 people indoors?

[@nathanriethmaier9865]

The real question is do you go with active or passive speakers? I use passive speakers but I am thinking about going with active powered speakers. I do use an active powered speaker for wedding ceremonies if it is an outdoor wedding with reception inside.

[@DJRickWeb]

Mobile events under 500 active. Over that possibly passive. But mostly everything is going active for mobile production. Installed sound i would go passive though for flexibility

[@nathanriethmaier9865]

@@DJRickWeb I have a peavey pr15 passive system with a subwoofer and a peavey xlr 8300 600 watt powerhead. It fills any room with music. It’s a big passive system and I love using it.

I wish we only had 100 - 150 people. Most of the India weddings have 400+ people -- 2 RCF 945a with 2 YorkVille ES21P, and sometimes 4 RCF 945a with 4 YorkVille ES21P.
