Line Array PA for medium size Bar Gig
I’m in the market for a PA system and I’d prefer something easy to setup, move, and operate. I have everything else I might need including mics, mixers, amps etc.
I spoke with a rep at guitar center who recommended the Bose L1 pro 8 as they use two of them for their own gigs. The rep I spoke to is also familiar with the space I’ll be playing so they said volume wise that these options would be viable. The other options I’m considering are the EV Evolve 30 and the JBL EON One Mk2.
I’ll be using the PA for an acoustic guitar, bass DI from a sansamp, and then a mixer into the line input with two vocal mics and a keyboard for PA systems with only three channel inputs (like the Bose). Occasionally I’ll be micing a kick drum as well. For PAs with more mic inputs I’ll configure it a bit differently but those are the main inputs.
The JBL and EV are currently on sale while the Bose is not.
Any advice is appreciated!
