Karaoke Forums

Hey all,

Obviously, I'm new to the forum, so please go gentle on me.

Just curious if there's a thread somewhere that everyone has listed their gear. If so, feel free to point me to it and I'll delete this one. Otherwise, post up your rig specs, and I'll post mine! I'd be very interested to see what everyone uses, what works, hasn't worked, recommendations, warnings, etc.

Im guessing that there is, but ill bite.

My main basic system is a Mackie 808s with EV SX500 speakers, sure SM58 mics. monster cables. hosting with S & D on a gateway laptop. 1.6 gig duo core. unlike some here I use the integrated sound card.

My second PA is a mackie 406M with old Acoustic controll corp single 12s loaded with EV drivers. Shure SM58 mics , monster cables ect.

Big shows I have 4 single 18 sonic scoops (the 4 foot tall ones) all loaded with EV proline drivers. I run an active crossover with the sx500 tops run off the Mackie and the subs run off a QSC rmx 2450.. yes this makes for a 3650 watt karaoke pa. Ive never had the chance to even close to push it but it gives a really full sound that caries well. and it looks really cool
